This is from a thread that I used to get going with homebrew. I have everything done up to the point of the DVD dump tool. I have put the dump file in the apps folder like it says but I can't find it on the wii. I really don't understand the line in the guide that says

Boot the file boot.dol in the DVD dumper folder.
The file that i have when unziped has 2 read me files and
cIOS-DVD-Dumper_v1.2.dol
Please help me figure out where to put this to get dump to work that is the last step I need to backup my games. Thanks

You'll need a few things:

-A Wii (unmodded is fine)
-The genuine game disc you want to backup
-A way to boot homebrew
-A PC on the same network as your Wii, an SD card, or a USB Drive.
-Waninkoko's Custom IOS (Basically a small firmware hack)

Before you do anything, you need to patch your Wii IOS firmware (I've tested it and it's safe as long as you do it as described).

-Obtain a copy of the original Wii IOS wad file (IOS37-64-v2070.wad)
Hint: Google for it.
-Place the original IOS37-64-v2070.wad at the root of your sd card.
-Download this {Mirror} file and unzip it to the /apps folder on the root of your sd card.
-Run the Custom IOS Installer on your wii to install the hacked version (boot as any other homebrew. The zip file I prepared is setup for use with the homebrew channel)

Now that your IOS is patched, you can dump games easily. Continue with the process:

Download Waninikoko's DVD Dump tool from here. {Mirror}


Unzip the DVDDumper folder and place it in /apps folder on the root of your sd card. You can also load it however you load other homebrew, but I specifically prepared the download to be ready for use with the homebrew channel.
Boot the file boot.dol in the DVD dumper folder.

You will be asked a couple questions. You can use the wiimote D-Pad to navigate between options.

Rename cIOS-DVD-Dumper_v1.2.dol to boot.dol

All homebrew has to be boot.dol

You put it in its own folder in the apps folder. And if it came with any other files put them in the apps folder as well.
