Thanks in advance. I have used Larry's softmod guide to a tee and everything went well as far as the Wii, thanks Larry. Problem I'm having is my computer won't read my Wii game. I downloaded imgburn to try to make the .iso. Since I only have one drive I was planning on making an .iso and then using imgburn to burn it on to a disk. But my DVD drive is not recognizing the game. Are there special DVD burner drives that read the Wii disk's?? I was working on doing the raw dump over wireless, which was working but I have limit's on my internet, so I would rather not have to use 4.4 gigs of info to transfer to my computer. Thanks again.
Are you trying to backup an original game or one that is already a backup copy? Original wii games CANNOT BE READ by most DVD drives. There are a handful of LGDVD-ROM models that can read them, but they are no longer being manufactured and are very difficult to come by.
Dumping the game over your wireless network should not use any bandwidth limits though, since no information is going out to the internet where those limits are generally read. All the data should go from the wii to your router and then directly to your PC.
You should be able to set up the dump program to dump the game to the SD or a USB device as well.
Thanks for the help. When I was watching my net meter during the transfer it showed 500 something kbs transfering so I assumed it was using the bandwidth. Maybe that net meter just is showing the transfer.
As far as the USB, I tried these steps last night....
* First choose Device Mode (Sd, USB) by using the d-pad.
* Select what type of disk it is. (The only current dual layer disks are Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime Trilogy)
* Now you'll need to select the split size. Make sure you have enough free space for the size of the piece you chose.
* It'll stop when you've dumped the piece. Now copy the file it made over to your computer and delete it from the device.
* Insert it again and repeat until it says that it's done.
* Download hjsplit and choose Join. Now browse to the folder where you stored the files and open the first one. Let it run and you should now have one big iso file.
Note: If your using a mac, you should be able to run it using crossover.
What confused me is the split size, I'm not sure what that means. I have a 8gb usb drive, so I set the split at 8000mb, but then it errored. In reading some old posts it says only one of the usb drives works. Is this true. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again for your help.
