Error 001 message: I hate it when I sit down to start playing on my Wii and then boom I get hit with the error 001 message. Apparently there are quite a lot of others who have run into this annoying error. The underlying cause seems to be because of the way the game is burned. The cheap or cracked software that isn't meant to be used to burn Wii games sometimes fails to correcty make a copy. Then, when you try to run the copy you get the error 001 on your screen.

Are you running a copied or burned game on your Wii? What software did you use to create it? Was it a legal and full version? Any of these can lead to a messed up Wii game that gives you the error 001 message.

Did you know that the software Wii lovers use is the game copy wizard? Why? Because it was built especially for burning Wii games.

Don't let people fool you into thinking that your Wii itself is damaged and needs a technician or that you have a messed up mod chip. Your problem can in fact be easily prevented by using correct software to burn your games. The software that we recommend to burn your games uses the official format specified by the Wii console itself so that you never have any problems with copies of your games and you won't get error 001. So, do this to prevent error 001: 1. Download the Game Copy Software. 2. Choose the game you wish to backup. 3. Press the backup button.
