@Shizune Hakamichi no, it isn’t If you give it to others that haven’t bought the game, that’s piracy which is illegal But if it’s just to yourself, it’s legal If you bought the game yourself, you can legally make it an iso
So some tips that aren’t explained: use the USB option when exporting the file, and while a fat32 format will work for smaller games, if it is larger the 4gb then it will split into two or more files. That being said it is better to format your usb to ntfs to avoid this.
What do you mean, when "exporting" games? Isnt that what this tool is used for? Why is the SD card better for this than the USB? Im confused. All tutorials also said to format to FAT32 and that nothing else would work properly.
there was this other video by jack sorrell wich showed you a site that could join two files together if that did happen. I dont know the link but the video was called "How to dump Wii games to your pc"
Thanks man, moving abroad and I don't want to have to bring all my games and console with me, I'll just bring my games on HDD and buy a Wii while I'm there.
@@bobfranklin2572 ohh thats right cuz you modded it to play all games anyways. I forgot you can't even play games on the hdd if you don't have it modded.

I'm running ios58 with other cIOS's installed. Im pretty new to homebrewing. My Wii is one of those black horizontal wiis btw, not Wii u

Got an issue with the cleanrip program but its the latest version. I'm getting a "No Seek Complete" Message and nothing got ripped. what am i dealing with?
im so lost im not doing this I'm just trying to figure out why its not working its a normal iso not nkit and still wont work am I missing something I'm using daijisho and retroarch it should still work plz help
make sure you have the usb port on the bottom port (if laying flat) or on the edge (if on standby) inserted in the wii before you turn it on. If that wont work try your sd card. Or just format your usb to FAT 32. Hope it helps
i use cleanup 2.1.1 on 4.3J Wii i found it rip game but cannot use if select chunk size it will rip until rip iso same chunk size and stop if select chunk size to max it rip until 4GB+ and finish. but that iso cannot use. another thing i use WiiFlow to load backup that test work on dolphin but it will show black screen not load game. any suggest ?
So. I can even keep an extra copy on my pc if i lost usb or sd card? If the wii os broken or lost. Can i set up the cleanrip and upload my pc saved games again?. I need space in my basement but i don't want to lose my collection. Please advise.
you might have done it by now, since you commented this 2 years ago but you have to format your USB as NTFS, set the chunk size to max and then do it again.
Question does it matter what wii we use for gamecube games (like do we need the model that can play gc games or can we have the newer ones that dont have gc functionality)
Hi, I've got 1 gamecube game and 10 wii games I would like to rip to USB so can put away the discs / make it easier for my son's to switch games. I'll add homebrew channel. What's quickest simplest way to rip to connected USB and play straight away... Preferably with images or direct icon on homepage. USB loader GX, clean rip or Nintendont? Hopefully just one of them by itself might work thanks.
I think that all but the Wii Mini should work with this. Because if I remember correctly, it doesn't have wifi capabilities. And you may need wifi to get the Homebrew app downloaded to the Wii in order for this exploit to work. I'm sure there's ways around it though. It's mostly trial and error trying to make hardware run software that wasn't originally intended for it.
Nice video man!I wanted to ask if you could tell us how to play D's games but faster cuz when I try it on my Wii it runs so slow!Also is there a way to play multiplayer on the dsmemu emu for the Wii?
When I rip Super Mario Galaxy, while ripping, CleanRip crashes back to HB Channel leaving a corrupt file. There is definitely enough storage. Why is it crashing?

OK so if I do that will the disc be useless or does it copy it and I can still play the real copy what I mean by that is can I still play the game on a legit Wii with the disc or will I need to get another copy after this
Could you please shorten the wait times on the videos please? We get it isn't fast but we don't have to see it fast forwarded either it would be simpler if every time there's a wait screen you wrote a message like it will cost a but of time
Yes a legal way to play on dolphin emulator!
Kinda
The Mario Bros. What do you mean kinda? As long as they’re you’re games your ripping, it’s 100% legal (at least in the USA)
@Shizune Hakamichi no it isn't, not unless your distributing the rom to other people (which would be piracy)
@Shizune Hakamichi no it's not, ripping your own discs is 100% legal to do, and it always has been.
@Shizune Hakamichi no, it isn’t
If you give it to others that haven’t bought the game, that’s piracy which is illegal
But if it’s just to yourself, it’s legal

Wii is region locked meaning it can only play games from its native region so wherever you move to you'll have to buy a wii with the same region code.

Hey, is this Toshiba laptop(sattelite) dvd drive capable of dumping Wii discs? CDDVDW SU-208GB TF01
what do you do if you don't have a wii
i use cleanup 2.1.1 on 4.3J Wii i found it rip game but cannot use if select chunk size it will rip until rip iso same chunk size and stop if select chunk size to max it rip until 4GB+ and finish. but that iso cannot use.
another thing i use WiiFlow to load backup that test work on dolphin but it will show black screen not load game.
any suggest ?
This is pretty cool. Will need to try it. Looks safer than doing the torrent method
sorry for dumb question but will the disk be usable assuming everything works
can you still play the game discs after you dump the iso?
Yes, CDs are generally read only and reading the entire gamefile doesn't burn any additional data onto the CD.
@my nama jeff No, It's illegal when you share your copy of the game.
When i go to the wiibrew.org site it says "502 bad gateway", is there anywhere else to download CleanRip?
Does Cleanrip come with the Homebrew channel? Or do you have to install homebrew before?
You have to install the homebrew channel first.

Is there a reason why it won't rip Wii games for me?

Yep
This is incomplete . This only works for gcb games. The wii part needs some kind of iso combiner . Of which, 7zip seems to stop supporting .
I get an unrecovered read error, whats that mean

Question does it matter what wii we use for gamecube games (like do we need the model that can play gc games or can we have the newer ones that dont have gc functionality)
A bit late but you need one that can read gc games, so it most likely has to be gc compatible, unless ur newer wii can still read gc disks
Can a Wii be restored to factory default after all this if needed?
Can i still use the same save files or does it create new ones? (On the Wii)

Are you able to play with the original disk after you dump it?
Yes the data on the disc remains 100 % the same
@@benwyatt7619 thanks
Would this work with unreadable disks?
SuperGamer im assuming no
It might
SuperGamer probably, but with some corruption
It depends. If you can launch the game although some parts don't work, then yes, you can although the parts that can't be read won't work on the iso.
Using the checksum feature would help confirm this. Checksum scans the file after its extracted for errors.
If I rip/dump the iso, it won't delete it on the disc right, it won't just be an empty disc
it wont delete it
i ripped n saved to sd i go on nintendont and it doesent show up help?
make sure you rename your game to game.iso and place it in a folder with the same name as the game within the nintendont folder
