Hacking Backing up VC games

[EagleStar]

Hello i would like to know if there is a public utility for ripping the VC games from my console so that i can store then for use as a backup for a new console (say my wii gets destroyed in a fire and i have to buy a new one)

Just wanting to know... or do i even need to do anything? is it as simple as copying the files to the SD card?

Thank you anyway!

You can easily copy the channel to your SD Card.

...but they wouldnt work on a new wii.

You can't transfer them onto another Wii.
Not possible!

Yes it possible. How do you think Wii-BlaZe group getting VC games? They back up purchased games and hack it, and then make WAD`s.

They use Wankinkoko's tool, which exploits yet another bug in the Wii.

Lamers.

They used Waninkoko's Wii NAND dumber to get the files.

They used Waninkoko's Wii NAND dumber to get the files.

From what I gathered, the NAND dump will be encrypted right?

No, decrypted. However, once you have the files you can't do anything with them until a wad packer is released.

Is there a tut on doing this? I wouldn't mind sharing some of my N64 games, thx

The NAND is encrypted well the NAND dumper says it is you need the key or something or other to decrypt it......

You want the NAND FS dumper.
