Method found to Dump Wii Discs - Takes FIFTY HOURS!

A method for copying Wii discs has been found via the use of LG-8164b or LG-8163b DVD-ROM drives. Via running an app called DVDInfo, read access to the disc is collected and via the use of some rawdump access a Wii disc can be backed up in as little as FIFTY hours .

According to guy from wiinewz there is a way to dump faster but they are not releasing into yet.

Well at least it's been done. Things seem to be moving along quite nicley for the Wii owners, though I still can't seem to decide wich next gen console to get.

As far as I know you just have to disable some kind of check in your DVD Drive Firmware and then you can rip the Wii disc and unscramble it with unscrambler 0.4: ( out of code/readme -> unscramble not standard IVs scrambled DVDs thru bruteforce, intended for Gamecube/WII Optical Disks. )

No need for some kind of long run degub code dump method, imo

What "check" is that? This is the same method that was used by the guys who made the unscrambler software so if you know a faster way then please let us know.

Does that mean the backed up copy of the game can then be played on the Wii?

where do u get those drives anyway?

No I think without hardware modification it wont be possible but the wii is similar to the gc and the drive key has also been extracted it was the same key as on the gc drive but in lower case lol

Nop , this mean that u can make a raw dump of your original games ! But there isn't any chip or any "whatsoever way" to run copys of originals.

Well dunno why but i'm not doing any updates from Wii Network .

things are going damm fast for Wii Scene ... WOW !! I Want to play backups Just love this Console !!

This is good i guess, will you ever be able to play like wii iso's on the wii? i mean since the wii don't have a hdd how can this be done!? i know the wii can have memsticks and so but you know having the iso's on memstics don't seem like a clever idea to me, maybe some great team will build a hdd to it

DATEL!!!! LMFAO! jk

50h ... at least it's a begin

i just tried my hitachi h10n and got an error that it was an incompatable drive and that dvd info was probly not running in the backround so i clicked detect media in dvdinfo and then i tried it again and it started dumping but it didnt give a dvd name

Edit: Never mind.
