Everyone has knowledgeable the upset and frustration of a game disc that has been damaged beyond repair, damage that can be prevented by an opportunity to play backup Wii games. As vigorous usage could mean that your games begin to gain scratches that affect the functionality of your disc, taking the initiative to protect the hard-earned money you spent on your hobby.

Now, the last thing that you want is a game that can be damaged forever. Not only do you have the potential to get more funds for it by keeping it in a pristine condition should you decide to trade it in for a new game, but you want to avoid the prospect of having to pay for one game twice.

The great thing about backup discs is that you could be as reckless as you like whilst ensuring that your official Wii game does the rounds at your mate's house. Even better, while you are doing your good deed for the day, you still have access to your game and the saved records at home. If you are stumped on what you need to do to get the results that are written about here, read on.

Backing up discs is not something that you could go into without planning beforehand. Adaptations to the user interface of your Wii are forced to make sure that your scheme could accept and play DVDs. The changes that are made are principally the install of a channel known as the Homebrew Installer, which can be found at Wii homebrew installer- a channel that can help you to copy original games successfully.

In the copying process, all of the information that is found on the disc is formulated into a file which is known as an ISO image - basically, all of the information that is found on a CD or DVD, without the physical disc. Even though unique software is needed for operating systems like Windows to accept the file, transferring the copied data from your console over to your computer is an easy process that done by supplying Internet Explorer with the IP address of the Wii.

This is the process that could take the longest, with a few testers reporting that the process was over nine hours long. From there, all of the data that could be found in the ISO image needs to be positioned on a DVD-R which doesn't have any data on it. Most software that helps computers to read ISO files also supplies the functionality to transfer the image to a DVD, meaning that when the process is done, you should have a successful copy on disc so you could play backup Wii games.

Next, double-check that the Homebrew Installer still remains as a channel on your Wii. Not only does this piece of kit allow you to copy content off official Wii games, but it also provides the function for the console to recognise copied DVDs.

If you are looking at the process from a beginner's perspective, it can seem like you have a mountain to climb - however, getting online support and having patience can allow you to enjoy the success that you deserve. Good luck!
