How Do I Backup My Games?
« on: May 03, 2007, 10:32:00 AM »

Hi,
I guess I see alot of topics about the WiiKey and how to install it.  But How does one go about backing up their games?  I dont see how to do that.

How Do I Backup My Games?

There is a method I have seen where you need an LG DVD-ROM and a program called Raw Dump.

I have not done it, as I do not own a compatible DVD-ROM nor a Drive Chip. The drives are ~$20 @ http://newegg.com though.

Edit: I also have never known anyone to do this, so to me it is still unverified if it even works.

You can use a LG DVD Rom drive on your computer with Rawdump to backup your games. I dont remeber the model #'s, but there are 4 or so drives you can use, each about $20.

I have used this method and it works and its easy. Just hook the DVD drive to your computer, put your wii game in the LG drive, run rawdump and it will create an iso for you. Then simply burn the iso and put it in your modded wii to play.

So its pretty much the same process as the 360?  I was just wondering cause it seems everyone is talking about a WiiKey/modchip, but no one is talking about the actual process of how to use the WiiKey and or backup games...

Ive read that it doesnt really work.  So why would people want to put a modchip in their Wii if it doesnt do anything?

^ You can backup to a DVD. You can run Gamecube homebrew. You can import Wii and Gamecube games. There are many uses for a modchip.

I should say drivechip. There is no true modchip allowing Wii homebrew yet.

Edit: I have had a few people verify that Rawdump works. I will test for myself, when I get my tri-tip in.
