Hacking Can I back up my Wii disc from a Windows machine?

[McHaggis]

My 2 year old son has stuck a penny in my Wii drive for the second time. I fixed it the first time and I'll fix it again when I have a little time spare, but, for now, I'd like to back up some games to my drive without using the Wii.

I thought Wii Backup Manager could do this, but I put the Wii disc in my computer and it says "No valid disc". Is there another piece of software that can do it?

You need to have one of the special LG Drives that can read wii disks

Damn, I thought it was just a special format that could be read by any drive if you had the right software. Oh well, looks like I need to get my trusty tri-wing out so the kids can play their new games.

Why dont you just use the Wii to dump the games? Or is your Wii not modded?

What he said. it's easier to rip Wii games from a Wii.

Yeah it's easier to install it directly on wii. What do you mean with tri-wing? Can't you wii read discs anymore?

I think the guy clearly stated that his son stuck a penny in the wii disc drive so it can't read discs for now & he was lazy/busy to open it and remove the penny so he wanted to backup some games using the pc to play them with a usbloader instead of having to open the wii now.

Your connection must suck. Average download time for me is 1h.

Lol, I think maybe they skipped the post and based their answer on the thread title, because, like you said, it's quite clear.

Thanks for the replies all. Yes, there was a penny in my drive, but I managed to get it out and everything's fine now.

I wish my Wii would produce pennies too
