I have in my collection Paper Mario.
I burned to disk and deleted the original ISO from my computer before I had chance to use wiibrickblocker.
Now I have the game on disk can anyone tell me how to get an iso for the game back onto my pc so i can use brick blocker?

Im Pal wii with wiikey.
Thanks

ALSO: Can I use any DVD drive to rip the iso as its a DVD-R or do i still need LG?

You should just be able to write a straight image file off it, don't think you'd need to do a raw dump as its already a backup, therefore LG is unneccessary (though I'm not 100% on this). Try it and see! Use a program such as clone cd, it has a "write to image file" option, use this and you're away.

PS. You should keep ISOs a little longer in case your burn is bad (test ahoy!)

you still need rawdump program but since its a backup you can just use any drive to dump the disc

you can let Paper Mario update if you have 2.2E/U/J,nothing happens

but watch out for Pokemon Battle Revolution NTSC,it creates the duplicate channels

Ok update, just tried Magic ISO has created and iso but wii brick blocker says its not a valid wii iso.
Seems to have changed the file type of ISO to Magic ISO's? Dont know if this has anything to do with it.

Tried RAW dump but says i havent got an LG drive wont let me open the iso??
is there a generic version of raw dump that will let me use any drive??
Thanks guys

ok i bit the bullet and just updated using the disk. after reading up it does appear to be safe to update using the disk providing your on 2.2E so i did it!

Just hope i havent f***ed it up for future updates / releases or nintendo finding out somehow ive updated using ntsc.
