Easy Wii Games Backup
Back up your favorite Wii games.
Every Wii game you purchase is an investment. You need to protect that investment by looking into making backup copies of all your games. There are really only a couple methods to copy Wii games that works. One requires and investment in hardware and also the other a good investment in software. While both of them are proven effective methods, the first method carries considerably more risks.
The Wii Modchip
The large benefit to using a modchip is that any ripping software is going to be enough to copy Wii games and play them. The cost of a modchip starts at about $25 and rises after that. There are plenty of free burning software products to choose from and most are very good. The risk is by using the Wii itself.
*WARNING* Know the risks that comes with installing a modchip…
Once the Nintendo wii console is opened, the warranty is void. Incorrectly installed modchips have been recognized to damage the Wii beyond repair. Installing firmware updates to the Wii is not a choice because the update will detect the modchip and disable the console.
The Wii Softmod
The currently recommended way to copy or backup Wii games is known as “softmod.” There isn’t any hardware to purchase or install, things are completed with software. You can keep to improve your Wii and it’ll still be covered by the warranty.
The cost includes buying the right software. The price of such software starts at around $40. There are several proven options but I only have knowledge about these 3 products:
- Easy Backup Wizard <- the cheapest with the most features (read my review here)
- Game Copy Pro
- Wii HomeBrew
All of these were easy to use and the copies worked great.
As the upfront cost may be a little higher using the softmod approach, it’s far better over time. You can keep to play online using the softmod game copies. Your Wii remains in factory condition so it is still covered by the warranty. If you decide to take your games to someplace else to experience, you don’t have to take your Wii console simply because they can play on any Wii, even one that has a modchip installed.
