As with the 360, the Wii discs will use proprietary formatting to prevent them from being read in a PC. The first dumps will likely come from disc swap methods to get the raw data and then it's a matter of reverse-engineering the disc structure.

I really doubt the "backwards spinning" comment. The same thing was said about GameCube discs but it was just a rumor.

I said this on the Wii updates site.
Disregard the first line, the mods at W.U. seem to have problems.

I did not want to post in the other one posted here because people read the first post there and leave.

Now my proposal is to use SDload to startup a gamecube linux distro, I'm pretty sure that the only ones downloadable from the gamecube linux site need some form of LAN port support.

So someone would have to make a minimalistic distro, all that would be needed would be support for USB mass storage drives, and the DD program.

You start up this mini-distro put a Wii disc in the tray, use DD to make an ISO or IMG of the disc, and save it to the USB mass storage device.

Bring it to a PC and see what info ISO buster can make of it, also find some people that are good with hex file structure info, and see if they can figure out a basic file structure.

That is my "basic" idea of how to start Wii hacking/Game dumping.

Wii cant do anything until wii figure out the file structure of games.

Thank you
