Hacking burning wii isos

[philipcooper]

do i just use nero and burn them as normal

 

[CYatta]

if it's an iso, yes. if it's a "wii" file, you have to unscramble it first. in the end though, you just burn it like a regular iso.

 

[philipcooper]

what do i use to unscramble them if there wii files

 

[hanman]

Rawdump will unscramble ISOs if you're using windows

 

[philipcooper]

whats rawdump

... can someone teach me how to read past posts on here?

 

[philipcooper]

just read up on it and it says:

Rawdump is essentially an app that dumps the image of a Wii game onto an available format. You will , however, need an LG disc drive if you intend to dump the game onto a disc

whats that mean a LG disc drive/

i have got a pioneer drive so cant i burnmy isos with that what all this about a lg drive do i need to get one of those to burn my isos

 

[CYatta]

at this point, you really should be using the search feature, as directed in the above post. I will say just this though. You don't need an LG drive to burn the games. You can burn them on any brand DVD burning drive. If you're still lost after that, use the search feature. Or better yet, google it.

I could have sworn the last time I checked, LG means Life's Good, not Lucky Goldstar. Unless there is some other company that's ripping the name off.

HAHA awsome... yeh as previous posts you cant use any other drive to copy wii games...except the lg drives listed above.

use rawdump, it makes an iso. you burn with a dvd burner of your choice then boom fully backed up wii game, simple. just have to buy a lg drive to see the original wii games, nothing else will work

I was pretty sure it wasn't, so i googled it...

"The previous company name was Lucky-Goldstar, from which the abbreviation of LG was derived, However, their slogan encourages the public to assume that LG stands for "Life's Good", but this is a backronym." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Electronics

if i understand correctly you need a lg drive to be able to burn a wii iso ?

 

[Sick Wario]

if you want to rip games all you need is an Lg DVD/CD ROM (LG-8164, LG-8163, LG-8162, LG-8161). NOT a burner
these things are cheap i just got the 8163 for $17

once you use rawdump to make the iso you can burn with any DVD burner

 

[ominess]

I have to ask. Is anybody else having an extremely difficult time getting their 8164b to work on their windows xp os?
