Backup Wii Games- Software to Import and Play Wii Game backups
How to backup, import and play backup Wii Games? Well here is "Homebreware package and software" that helps you do just that and more, without even voiding the warranty. But beware it may even get you reminiscent of classic Wii Games. How? read on!
More important than anything else, the question that I pose to every Wii gamer is that how can this be done without having to open up your console, that can invalidate the warranty. Is it worth the risk breaking your valuable console?
Homebreware is proving to be the new "in-thing" with well suited features to play backup wii games. You can also download thousands of wii games. What i meant about getting reminiscent was that certain homebreware applications called emulators gives you the opportunity to play classic games from retro consoles such as N64, SNES, Sega Genesis and many more. So just when you thought those games could be long dead and gone, there is a gleamer of hope. At least it was for me.
What is remarkable is that Homebrew applications is that they can play backup and import games without any mod-chip or anything that invariably can damage your console if you aren't lucky. It is the safest method to unlock full protential of your Wii. It doesn't matter if you want to use imported games, region-coded games, or backup games, Homebreware unlocks your Wii so you can play them all.
Homebreware's official which looks so very uninteresting (that was my first reaction, hehe), has indeed simple and safe video instructions. Showing you how to take it to the next level and unlock the hidden potential inside your Wii. No need for any sort of hardware modifications.

The modding possibilities with a Nintendo Wii has exploded over the last 2 years. If you are someone who has not followed the modding of Wii too well! All you need is a quick de-briefing. I am putting up a tutorial showing you how to back up wii games just anyway but personally i don't think it's needed much after trying out Homebrew applications.
I always do my best to keep you updated about the latest here, about anything revolutionary that happens with Nintendo Wii or else. And like a loyalist i do always answer back, when anyone shoots me an email regarding anything specific.
Well let's go ahead with the traditional method of backing up your Wii discs. Remember that to play the backups you usually need a modchip if we go by the conventional way!
1 First step in copying your games for backup purposes is to get the right software and hardware. You will need one of the following DVD drives to copy games.
- LG-8164b
- LG-8163b
- LG-8162b
- LG-8161b
2 Once you install this drive into your computer you will need to download a few applications.
Raw dump 2.0
.net Framework
3 Now you can insert your Wii game into the LG drive that you have ordered and installed. Then open the rawdump2.0 folder and double click on the rawdump2.0.exe file.
4 The next step is to just click "Start Dump." My computer too about an hour. Im running a P4 with Core2 Duo Processor. It may vary from machine to machine. When it's complete you have a finished message. The file it creates will be in the same directory as the rawdump.exe file. It should be called "Game Name.iso." This ISO is an image of the actual game and is ready to be burned. You can burn this image with many different applications, I prefer and always have used Nero Burning Rom.
5 This step is very important. You need to check your file and see how many kbs are in excess. To check this Right-Click on your iso (this is in your rawdump directory) and select properties. It should say for example : Nintendo Wii ISO size: 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes).
All Nintendo Wii images will be this exact byte size. If your Wii image is off by any Kb then you have a bad dump and need to try again.
6 So next step is to open Nero Program.
The first step once nero opens it to just cancel out of the create new dvd/cd/etc dialog. Once you have exited from this dialog you go to Recorder->Burn Image.
After making it this far you are almost done. When you click burn image you will be asked to locate the image. The image will be located in your Rawdump2.0 folder where you may wish it to be.
7 Select the game that you have dumped with rawdump and click open. You will then be presented with the below dialog. Make sure to select a relatively slow burn speed at first to attempt to prevent DRE's(Disc Read Errors). These seem to be common among people that do not use high quality dvd's. For a thread dealing with media check here.
I hope this small guide of some help to you. But nontheless! i would suggest "Homebreware" to be on the safer side. Remember modchip stuff is good only if you are an expert modder. To save time and a heartache, worst your Wii going dudd. Homebreware is a lifesaver and it does it's bit without voiding the warranty.
