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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

This is from the readme.

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

I think they use a triwing-screwdriver actually.

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

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.

It took it 4 hours to dump zelda.

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