[ HOW TO USE ]:

- Run the application with any method to load homebrew and
configure the dump parameters.


[ NOTES ]:

- You need the Custom IOS (IOS249) to use this application!


[ KUDOS ]:

- Team Twiizers and devkitPRO devs for their great work in libogc.
- All the betatesters.


Guide Info:
This is a brief guide to document some information that has not been included with this application yet will be needed for use if you do not have online wii capabilities

Lets say we want to dump mario galaxy to a 2 gig SD card


To use the loader you just rename the DOL to Boot.dol make a folder in your sd card:
apps/wii dvd dumper 1.2/boot.dol start up the wii DVD Dumper in the homebrew channel...it will ask you a few questions

What DVD Dump Mode SD

what DVD Dump Device:Wii SD slot

DVD disc: Type:
GC or wii single layer or double layer? in this case Wii Single Layer Disc is what i will choose for mario galaxy...

DVD split Size: 1024mb peices

this depends on the SD card you use...I use a sandisk 2 gig sd in fat16 (plain FAT) format...

go ahead and dump the first peace when it is done you will find the first peace Part1.iso on your SD card...drag it out and stick it in your C:\ drive for now...then repeat the dump unill you got 5 peaces...

First put all the files into one directory (this is important you will need to guide the command line to these parts later on so remember the directory) we will use C:/ for this example seems i have all my file peaces i dumped in the C drive. (i put each peace after it dumps into the c drive then put in the sd and start the next peace until i have all 5....
OK NOW WHAT?!
I made a backup of one of my games it takes more than 5 hours, with the sd method.
I have 5 archives, four of 1GB, and one of 375MB, like this:

part1.iso (1GB)
part2.iso (1GB)
part3.iso (1GB)
part4.iso (1GB)
part5.iso (375MB)

This is the question:
How can i make one iso file from those 5 files?

Answer:

step 1:
Go to the start menu and click the start tab...then choose RUN on the right....
type in the box...CMD


Step 2:
In the CMD window type CD C:\ hit enter...

I use c;| because my file parts are in C...if you have them in another directory like say c:\isodump\

then you would just replace C:\ with that. So you would type CD c:\isodump\ so :

what this means in a dos command is:
Change Directory(then a space)nameofdirectory files are in

hense why i will use CD c:\


Step 3:
Now that your CMD line is in the right directory!

type:

copy /b part1.iso + part2.iso + part3.iso + part4.iso + part5.iso galaxy.iso

Step 4:
You will note that now you have a single ISO file in the working directory! congrats you just dumped your wii game!

Do what ever you will with your legal backup from using it with the new loader to just burning it to a dvd with IMGburn for archiving sakes :)
