Hardware Wiikey Backup

[xhaborymx]

So I finally got a Wiikey and installed it on Friday. Now I'm eager to try backing up a game. Do I need to find a huge size SD card, or will the dump come out in chunks so I can swap out my card when it gets full? Like, can I do this with a 1 or 2 gig SD card? Thanks. I'd try myself, but, believe it or not, I don't own any SD cards.

It will be dumped in chunks, so you'll only need a 1 or 2 GB SD card. But, I suggest using a LG 8164 dvd drive to make wii backups, it's just easier with it.

That device can rip the games as an iso?

Yes, with a program called Rawdump 2.0.

Also, keep in mind it doesn't work off the Wii's internal SD slot. You have to get a Gamecube SD device, like SD Gekko. If you got that though, you could use the new DVD-SD back-up utility by SoftDev, over at TehSkeen. It is, supposably, faster than the older ones by emu_kidid.

its extremely fast at dumping.
