Hey b4rtj4h, from what I understand about your reply, what you're doing is using the wii hard drive to save the games!! you're pretty much mounting the iso on the hard drive of the wii and letting play off the wii and eventually you'll run out of room since the wii didnt come with that much space anyways!! am i correct?

I don't use a WiiKey if you didn't get that the first time, is there a way to check what type of hardware i am using without opening the Wii (I opened it b4 just don't know what to look at, i just know that i don't have WiiKey)

Or use my way with the Wiikey !! :P
@AbeDaBabe
Ofcouese i am NOT using teh Wii harddrive... because it has none !!
It only has some Flash memory about 512 MB, but you can only use 300 cause the rest is for updates etc...
I'm copying it to the SD in the SD unit !!
Wii + Wiikey = WiiFun :P

FOR PEOPLE WITH A WIIKEY
HOW TO BACKUP GAMES WITH A WII (also backups!!)
It might sound a little stupid, but i found out how to backup a backup !! Because you cannot backup it just by clikking copy disc in NERO :S
Here's how:
How to backup a Wii backup
Needed:
Wiikey
Wiikey SD unit (or any other MODDED SDGamecube memory stick)
Wiikey setup disc 1.2 or higher
Gamecube controller
SD from 2 GB (smaller can be used, but might give trouble by swapping alot)
About 2 hours
HOW TO BACKUP A BACKUP DISC
Step 1
Download the latest Wiikey Setup disc from here: wiikey.cn
Create an Imge for your Wii (European Wii --> bootablediscPAL.bat) etc.
Burn the image on 4x !!
Format the SD with the SD tool
Step 2
Power up the Wii and startup the Wiikey Disc.
Remember a GC controller is needed !!
Step 3
Choose DVD-Dumptool
The tool is now loaded. Insert the disc you want to backup and push any button.
MAKE SURE: that the SD-unit is inserted in slot A (otherwise it will not work)
Errors that might accur:[/]
When it says **SD Error** or something like that it is probably your SD unit that doesn't fit well in your Wii (i have the same problem)
Solution
Just push the SD unit (when sitting in front of your Wii) to the right... the unit will function properly than (a pease of foam on the frond of your SD unit will also work though !!)
[b] Step 4
The program will now start the backup!
You'll see this:
You might have noticed it but 1 Wii game will not fit on a 2 GB SD!! So it will be devided in Chunks...
When a chunk is ready
When your Wii says, its ready take it out and start the DUMP.BAT file
Now the chuink will be downloaded from the SD and will automaticly converted in an ISO.
With a 2 GB cart you have to swap 2-3 times...
With a 1 GB cart you have to swap 6-7 times...
i didn't try lower... because the wait is than TOO long !!
Happy backup
Gr B4rtj4h
why the hassle? you can just use imgburn or alcohol to rip and burn the backup copy. Nero dvd copy is even better, it works for me...i don't know why you're saying it can't.

Just what i posted a few posts ago. Same as the XBOX games, once a backup has been made via FTP'ing the console to a PC then to backup a back requires just a simple disc copy. I actually cannot backup a backup through RawDump it throws back an error. Go Figure

You think you are having issues, I opened my Wii up only to see that it isn't even the same type of board. I am missing soldering points. What the hell do I do now?!

You have to solder the 3rd pin on the Wiikey to the 5th pin (from the left) of the IPC below. There are some pics out there but I forgot the site.

The 8Gb SD card will probably not be compatable with the Wii (unless they change it in a future firmware update). According to the Big N's website the biggest SD card compatable with the Wii is 2Gb

Thanks guys but i wanted one in stock and ready to ship. most of the stores have them out of stock and I really don't want to purchase them from ebay. Is there a way to ftp into my wii or use sd dump with anything bigger than 2gb? I used to ftp into my xbox to copy games. Thanks
