Learn how to burn Wii games in under 60 seconds with these tips:

Prior to downloading or burning a Wii game image, it is important to understand the preparation needed for  playing burned Nintendo Wii games. While it is true that Wii games are light in size and easy to download, the console itself requires a manual upgrade with cracked software that configures the Nintendo Wii to read burned disks. Fortunately, it is now capable to access and download this type of software from an Internet site.

• Upgrading your wii with a “soft mod” is the easiest and best way to play burned Wii games. I recommend you try EazyBackupWizard – You can read my review of it and download it here.

 

• Players will also need a copy of the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess,  to help this mod to work well. Since this game’s release, the price has been drastically marked down, so it should be easy to get hold of a copy.

 

• You will need a computer with an SD card reader on-board, or you can buy an attachment for a computer that can read FAT16 memory cards.

 

• In addition, players will also need an EasyBackupWizard SD Card Installer, which can be downloaded from the Internet with a quick Google search.

 

• Simply use the EasyBackupWizard SD Card Installer and load the install directly onto the FAT16 card. Insert both the Zelda game and the SD card into the CD drive and SD memory card slot on the Wii respectively.

 

• Go into the Wii memory management menu and erase the Zelda game data, then switch over to the SD card with the tab and copy the Twilight Hack chainloader onto the console.

 

• Simply run Twilight Princess and open the main savefile, this will load the on-board hack’s installer.

 

• Utilizing a DVD image-burning software package, easily copy the images of Wii games by putting them directly onto the computer. Make a direct copy onto a blank disk with the software, and burn in under 60 seconds.

 

• Insert the disk and play the backup! Enjoy!

I know this may sound a little complicated to you, that is  why I recommend you check out EazyBackupWizard to do it all for you. You won’t have to worry about all these steps.

Based on today prices the purchase of every Wii game should be regarded an investment. What is the simple and best way to protect your investment ? Answer, making backup copies of all your games. There are actually only a couple methods  that work, when it comes to burning Wii games. One requires an investment in hardware and the other an investment in software. While both are proven effective methods, the hardware fix carries considerably more risks.

The Wii Modchip

The biggest advantage of using a modchip is that any ripping software will be enough to copy Wii games and play them. The price of the average modchip starts at about $25 and then goes up from there. There are many free burning software products to choose from and most of them are quite good. However the  risk is with the Wii itself.

*WARNING* They are risks that comes with installing  modchips…

Once the Wii console is opened, the warranty becomes void. Incorrectly installed modchips can damage your Wii beyond repair. Another big limitation to be aware of is the fact that, Installing firmware updates to your Wii will no longer be an option because the updates will detect the modchip and disable the console.

The Wii Softmod

The best and current method recommended for backing up or burning Wii games is called “softmod.” With this method there is no hardware to purchase or install, It is all based on software, everything is done with software. Softmod brings no limitations to your system. You will be able to continue updating your Wii and it will still be covered by the warranty.

The cost varies with purchasing the right software. The price of this type of  software starts at around $40. There are several proven options to choose from, but from my experience, these 3 products are the best and most effective for getting the job done.

• Easy Backup Wizard <- the cheapest with the most features (read my review here)
• Game Copy Pro
• Wii HomeBrew

All three of these products were easy to use and the copies worked great.
While the upfront cost may be a little higher with the softmod approach, The benefits regarding how to burn Wii games is much better in the long run. You will be able to continue playing online with the softmod game copies. Your Wii remains in factory condition so it is still covered under warranty. If you decide to travel with your games, lets say to a friends home, you don’t  have to take your Wii console with you because your copies will play on any Wii, even those that has a modchip installed on them.

If you are interested in purchasing softmod software, check out my review of Easy Backup Wizard here.

Nintendo doesn’t want you to play backup copies of their Wii games on your console. They want you to buy and play original games, which is certainly understandable from their point of view. The problem is, accidents and mishaps can occur, resulting in permanent damages to your games . Then your only alternative is to buy the games again. To avoid this repeated expense, it is better to protect your investment.

Fortunately, there are ways to protect your investment, and  keep playing your favorite Wii games even if the original was misplaced, lost or scratched. Of course getting this type of protection for your games will cost a bit of money, but once you have paid for it, you can use it to protect all your Wii games. In my case, I rationalize this extra expense as an investment and an upgrade to my system.

Wii Modchipping

Buying a modchip will allow you to play Wii games that are backed up on a blank DVD using almost any burning or copying software. The chip authenticates the DVD as a legitimate Wii game disk even though it is not.

*Warning* There are a few risks with taking this approach.
First, you will need to open the Wii console in order to install the chip. Opening the Wii voids the warranty, so if you have a future  problem, you will need to buy a new Wii or pay to get it fixed. The second problem that can occur is with the chip itself. They are not all built to the same standards, therefore getting an inferior chip means that it will fail and need to be replaced sooner rather than later. Finally, even when the chip is of good quality and installed correctly, you will not be able to install the Wii updates when they occur. Personally, I don’t recommend using the mod chip as a method regarding how to burn Wii games. It is very risky with it’s own set of built in problems.

Softmodding

A better and proven approach is called softmodding. You use a special software application to copy the game leaving no chip to buy and install. As a result, all of the risks associated with that option is eliminated. The downside is, you won’t be able to use free versions of burning or copying software to make your backups. You will need to buy software that provides the ability to bypass the authentication coding in the game during the copying process.

There are a several reputable software packages that can make softmodded backups safely. One of my favorite software backup managers is called Easy Backup Wizard – I wrote a review on it that you should read here.
