In the past if you wanted to backup any Wii game disc you needed to install a modchip of some sort to make your Wii read and recognise any copy wii games. It was impossible to run any backup without a modchip device, but that has since changed with the advent of 'Wii softmod' software that can unlock your Wii console and enable to read copied wii games.
A Wii softmod is basically a software program that can trick your wii into being able to play dubbed wii games just like your normal games. What makes this mod awesome is you don't have to rip open your Wii and try and solder a modchip into the motherboard. This can be very dangerous especially if the owner is not experienced and tries to install it by themselves.
Another reason these types of chips are not recommended is voiding your warranty when altering the motherboard without permission from the manufacturer.
Softmodding is much safer, protects the warranty and anyone with abit of DIY spirit can make it work on their console.
There really nothing to it, all you need is homebrew software and a easy to follow instruction guide that can show you how to do it. It is advised to use a guide that can show you in step by step format how to go about installing this Wii softmod without any hiccups.
Don't worry about firmware updates, the software is constantly being updated to be compatible with them so your software will continue to work regardless.
Not only can you copy and play backed up wii games but you can run DVD movies, retros games, and unlock you region settings to playback any game or dvd from anywhere in the world.
