Tiger Woods 09 Cheats | Backing Up Your Game Discs

So, the old Tiger Woods 09 Wii disc finally got to the point that it was too scratched up to play properly and had to be retired. This meant, of course, that if we wanted to keep playing the game, we had to replace the disc.

That totally sucks, because we had already paid for it once, and it just didn’t seem right to have to lay out any more of the old hard earned for another copy. So, we decided the thing to do was to make backups of all out video game discs. Seems logical, right? Logical, maybe, smart, probably, easy…not so much.

You see, all the video game companies write copy protections into the code on the disc to make it so that you can’t just burn a copy in your cd/dvd burner. When we figured this out we were really bummed, so we went searching online to try to solve the problem. First we wanted to find out if it was even legal to make a backup copy of a game disc, then we had to figure out how to do it.

Our internet search led us to a this site where they tell you all about the different ways to copy Wii games, and then lay out what they have found, as far as the easiest and most reliable ways to get the job done. They highly recommended using a software product called Game Copy Wizard for this, so we tried it ourselves, and have to say, it worked flawlessly.

We were pretty skeptical, considering the trouble we had trying it on our own. In fact, if hadn’t been for the money back guarantee, we probably wouldn’t have tried it, but honestly, it was actually kind of amazing how simple it was, and we didn’t even have to use a dvd. We just plugged in the game disc, then when it said to insert the blank disc we used a plain old cdr, and boom, a perfect copy of the game.

And it worked with not only the Wii games, but the PS3 and XBox360 games as well. It claims to also work on PS2, GameCube, etc. but we didn’t try it. Yeah, it costs a few bucks, but we spent more replacing the one scratched up game than the software costs to backup the whole video game library so we never have to replace a game again. It’s kind of a no brainer, in our opinion.

After our experience with this product, we have no problem recommending it to you, so go ahead and protect your investment so you don’t find yourself in the same situation we did, where we had to replace a game we had already paid for once, just so we could continue to enjoy it.

Oh yeah, we also found out that it is perfectly legal to make a backup copy of game you already own, as long as you aren’t burning copies to sell.
