Yes, everyone else too.I was referring to ripping via the Wii instead of PC.
I don't know if ripping via PC is even possible without rare HW.

maybe you should use your own gamecube images then?If that's the case then I sure hope there will be an app that can convert a scrubbed image to work with Devolution. Probably like half of the GC images floating around are gcm.Most likely. I don't know how the structure of a scrubbed GC ISO compares to that of a non-scrubbed one, so I don't know if tueidj didn't mention it because it's a given (structures are the same?), but like I said above, his post seemed specific enough to clearly state that it's going to need to remain completely un scrubbed; A clean, 100% original, untouched, unmodified, unscrubbed, uncompressed, 1.3GB rip in order for it to work.
I don't see why it would wear out the laser any more than playing games.Maybe he doesn't want to wear out his Wii's laser ripping discs?

If he has lots of GC games, his Wii will have to use its laser to read A LOT of data.I don't see why it would wear out the laser any more than playing games.Maybe he doesn't want to wear out his Wii's laser ripping discs?
Yes, but if he played them it would be even moreIf he has lots of GC games, his Wii will have to use its laser to read A LOT of data.I don't see why it would wear out the laser any more than playing games.
The point is that it doesn't read all the data in a typical play session.
Yes, but it doesn't read nearly as much data as when you're dumping the whole game. Plus you would be dumping plenty of games rather than just one, many of which you probably already beat by this point and thus your Wii would never have re-read otherwise (not entirely at least) unless you replayed them.

If you replay them then your disc drive will need to read them again. I fail to see your logic there. Your original point in reference to already beaten games was your wii wouldn't have to read them again unless you ripped them to your hard drive. But if you're going to replay them anyway, that is not the case, as they'd have to be read when being replayed.So you never play games you already beat?
Precisely, some people (like me) have a Wii that was released in 2006, meaning that the disc drive is six years old. I back up my games to a USB hard drive for that very reason, to avoid wear and tear. I hear that if the Wii's DVD-ROM drive stops working, it won't boot to the system menu.
So people will indeed have to rip all of their GC games themselves?"I don't want to use my disk drive to read discs. It might break and then I won't be able to use it to read discs any more."
And it would be pretty funny and ironic if your Wii's laser died when you're dumping your games for Devolution.If he has lots of GC games, his Wii will have to use its laser to read A LOT of data.

So in your mind, the only reason to play games you beat is to replay them? I assume you never to back to play (not replay) beaten games for stuff you missed during the story? You never do any sidequest or 100% any game? And what about games that offer extra, post-story content?If you replay them then your disc drive will need to read them again. I fail to see your logic there.So you never play games you already beat?
Of course. But what about games you don't plan to replay but still have reasons to go back to?On this point, it makes more sense to rip the game once if you're going to have multiple play-throughs which will obviously require far more disc reading than ripping the entire disc once.

I believe SM will load, but nothing else (e.g. WW and VC channels won't work etc.)
