Homebrew Need some help dumping games...

[Ganxter]

I have the second Wii model released. The one with no GC ports. Officially nintendo says this about this model:

The system is not compatible with Nintendo GameCube game discs or accessories.

If I were to install CleanRip, could I still dump my GC games?

Alternatively, using a computer seem less reliable when it comes to dumping games. I've looked up some drives from that popular game dumping thread over on the dolphins forums but they are either unavailable on amazon or insanely expensive (70 to 100 USD).

It would depend on your optical drive, as the newer ones reject non-Wii discs in hardware, and I think all horizontal Wii have this type (D3-2 and D4, were they called? Haven't looked them up in years) out of the box

So which optical drive should it have... d3-2 and D4 are good or bad? This wii is old af i think

The bad ones, for DVD-R (actually at least D3-2 should support GC games, since it came with the later vertical Wiis)
