To Burn Wii games or not to ? That's the question. The Wii is raising in popularity, and as such there is a huge demand for games.

Ok now before you get into this, it's update yourself on the copyright laws in your area. In most places, it's not illegal to burn Wii games, even when you own the originative, and that the copies are for your individual purpose only, IE as backups. This is the most common law, but please check it out in your area all the same - there is no Wiis in jail, so you don't really want to end up there right?
firstly it's not possible to make any copying or anything else with the Wii itself, thus you'll need to use your computing device, and you will want a specific kind of DVD Drive to get it running. You want one of the LG-816 series, most notably 8161b, 8162b or 8163b. There much info about these on Google, so perform a fast research if you demand to, and if you get difficulty looking for the drives you need to burn Wii games, check Ebay, you can normally get them there.
You ask to make an image of the disc before you can burn Wii games, so in addition to the DVD drive, you will want to install some software program called .net Framework 2.0, and Raw Dump 2.0
The first thing you want to do to burn Wii games is to put the game you desire to burn inside your LG dvd drive. Once it's in, open the Raw Dump file (should have been established after being installed) and double click on the rawdump.exe file to get the rawdump program fired up.
Once rawdump opens, you will get a dialog box. Click the button that says Start Dump, and you will be readyto burn Wii games. The next part of the operation is largely about patience.According to the size of the files on a DVD, you will need to wait quite a while for the dump to finish. Waiting time will vary due to computer spec and hardware etc, but it can be anywhere between 1 hour and about 5 hours, if you have a slow computer.
Once it's completed, you ought to see a new file in the rawdump folder, an ISO file, with the same name as whatever game you copied. An ISO file is simply a perfect image of what was previously on a disc. You'll get familiar with these files if you intend to burn Wii games as a habit.
The last two parts of the procedure are likely the smoothest thing you ought to to do when you burn Wii games. First of all, once the dump finishes, right click on the new file and select Properties. What you are looking for here is the size of the file. All Wii game ISOs are 4.7 Gb in size, which is the similar size as a blank DVD, so you can see that the image dump has picked up everything. Anything different from this and you will need to start again, as it's not able to burn Wii games if the ISOs are the wrong size!
Once you have the correct size, all you ought to to do to perform the real burning of the Wii games is to get your preferred burning software, begin a new project, and instruct it to burn the ISO picture onto a brand new blank DVD. This part can be a little finicky, and if you use low quality discs you'll find you have problems with unreadable games etc.
To play the Wii games that you have burned, you will either need to take your Wii fitted with a modchip, or use one of several SD card modifications. It will be easily to find tutorials for both of these on the net.
