New Wii Dumper Released & Connect your Wii drive to PC!

[Zeus]

Two new hacking tools for the Wii have been released. First of all a new version of Rawdump has been released, it dumps discs around FIVE times faster and does not require the use of DVDInfoPro. Secondly, Erant released the 'Wii DVD' tool. This program enables you to connect up your Wii drive to your PC for 'testing' purposes.

[ka0s]

maybe we could get a firmware similar to kreons for the 162... or similar drive to rip wii games in the future... i hope :)

5 times faster is still what, 10 hours?

good progress though

[xghost360]

i got somthing like this else where and it came with pics and bootloader and a better readme file,has this been rerared or is this a new program.

ignore me there both by Erant just a better readme file with the rar i got earlier

[TBarber21]

I haven't tried them out yet, but I was wondering what site these came from. So, I can get instructions for how to use them.

[Whitewiz]

well the dumper atleast has more compability i can say for sure.

the program now works on my drive and can dump atleast gamecube games.(dont have any wiigames yet)

my drive name is: HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B

[evlspcmk]

so what drives are compatable? i cant test right now coz my Windows HDD has something wrong with it and im using OSX at the moment.. I dual boot OSX and XP

[Ninjaman]

For those of you who have opened their Nintendo Wii...does Nintendo still use the those screws....which you have to use the 4.5 gamebit?

[Whitewiz]

This is from the readme.
Use a LG-8164b or LG-8163b or LG-8162b dvd drive. It might even work with other hitachi drives. It works if you get a readable DVD name.

I Wonder why mine didint work b4 :S. I probably did something wrong.

[Whitewiz]

I think they use a triwing-screwdriver actually.

[evlspcmk]

well i know they use triwings in the Wii stand.. i was gunna crack nime open and put some front stand USB ports in it but couldnt open the bugger

[mozzer999]

Well 'PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D 1.39' doesnt work.

Finds wii dvd then dies when trying to get disc name.

Will have to wait. Good progress though.

[higurb]

It took it 4 hours to dump zelda.

[gopherbob]

I have two dvd-drives a liteon and a HP. The HP failed, is there a way to try it on the secondary dvd drive?

Reboot the PC and disable one of the drives in the BIOS... might work at any rate.

try removing drive letter from the drive within windows

that's in "computer management"

[11111]

RAWWRRR we need a way to play wii backups!!!!!

[kneehighspy]

will the LG-8164BI, LG-8164BK or the LG-8164BB work?

[Gleasonator]

will the LG-8164BI, LG-8164BK or the LG-8164BB work?

Try them. It takes around ten seconds before it either gives you the disc name or an error. If you're looking to buy one get one of the ones they wrote the program for. Last I checked they were around $20 on Amazon each.

[wiggim]

no dice with my Pioneer 111D FW1.29

[kneehighspy]

i checked newegg for the drives i listed and there are like $17-$20, so not too shabby if they work.

i'll check out amazon for the ones mentioned in the readme, i just thought they may be the same drive types.

[halomasta203]

Well atleast its one step closer for the Wii.

[foobie]

Looks like those images in the last .rar file are just the ones from www.wiire.org...

[Merle]

How can you use that raw dump???

[lenselijer]

yes indeed, but he did figure out the serial port on the wii dvd drive.

How do you Unscrambler the .wod file after ripping the game?:confused:

[Memphis2k]

I have a cheapo DVD Burner from Office Max and I ripped Wii Sports. Tried it with my NEC 3550A and no go.

What program do we burn the ISO's with? My ****.ISO's are 0 bytes and my .wob are gigs. No clue on what to burn the image with.

Yah Yah, I know there's no mod chips but gotta play around with it.

Tried opening the .wod in some kind of hex editor? If its all the same letters again and again and again and again its NOT A DUMP. Just a file filled with junk.

And if its actually a good dump. Then just use the unscrabler tool thats in the same directory as rawdump.

Its all junk. Openned it in a freeware HxDen and its the letters "AE" repeating.

Its a Micro Advantage 16x 8x, DVD+/-RW


Keep up the great work!

[kadafi]

my NEC 1300a is rubbisch too!

[cougarvsd]

well talking of gc games... i always wanted to do a dump and thus copy my games so i can let the originals copies safe. when i do have a wod file, that has been unscrambled to iso. what should i do?

in fact i tried with my good ol' virtua stiker 3 ver 2002. it has been detected correctly, it ripped great, has been unscrambled and the unscrambled iso was about 650mo. i then passed it under the fstfix proggie to make it 1.5gig again.
the proggie worked great as it detected the chains it was looking for... the problem is my cube didn't detect the game... and thus won't boot it...
any help?
thanks!

Do you have a chip in your cube?

[cougarvsd]

indeed, xenogc 1.0

[Whitewiz]

are you sure your cube reads your media?

I installed a new drive and am not able to dump "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Drive is detected as:

HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8164B 0L06

I get "Wii disc detected" and "Getting DVD name..." and that's all.

Pentium 4 2.53 Ghz
1GB RAM
Windows 2000 Professional

I wonder if this requires XP? I will try another Wii disc later.

[fogbank]

I have installed the trial version of DVD Info and tried the old (0.2) version of RawDump and it is now dumping "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

Disc is detected as "Avatar 06".

tmp.iso reads "RLVE78" and "Avatar 06"

Seems like the newer version is not compatible with my setup somehow?

Moved the drive to a different PC (running XP). It seems to be dumping now using the newer (0.4) version.

Possible incompatibilities with the other PC include Windows 2000, and an add-in ATA133 controller card. Who knows....

Anyway - nice work by the developers.

How do you Unscrambler the .wod file after ripping the game?:confused:

same here dunno what it means by Unscrambler the .wod file after ripping the image ....(after 8 hrs dump of Excite Truck JAP)

it that .wod rename to .iso and its done?!:confused:

[cougarvsd]

indeed works a threat

[Whitewiz]

Use the provided unscrambler program. And No its not that easy. The program actually descrambles the whole image. Not just renames the file :)

[Memphis2k]

Which drive is "the one"

LG Beige E-IDE/ATAPI DVD-ROM Drive Model 8164BI - Retail

OR

LG Beige E-IDE/ATAPI DVD-ROM Drive Model GDR-8164BB - OEM

OR which has the firmware: 0L06


I'm leaning towards the OEM one...has more reviews. Some companies restrict certain firmwares to OEM only etc. Any ideas?

Use unscrambler.exe, man. It's a command line application, so you have to navigate to the directory in a dos prompt and type in the command manually. Instructions for proper use can be found here: http://www.ingenieria-inversa.cl/?p=9

[ramey151]

well arent all the 8164 same just in color let me know im unsure and i plan to but one today please help ok

Don't use the DOS version. It has a bug that dumps the last block of the disc twice. Use the unscrambler built into the Rawdump app. It is also faster than the DOS version for unscrambling. You can get Rawdump from www.wiinewz.com

[shark2003]

Damn it...they are using the triwing screws....got to order this now. :D ...that's used in the Nintendo DS no?

Yes,that is what the DS uses,and I managed to get my DS open using regular small electronics type screw drivers...dont remember what size or what type though....
