Hacking Needed idiots guide to scrubbing wii ISOS

[microbar]

Hi

I have had homebrew Added to my sons wii and added a usb hard drive
so he can run all his games from the hard drive.
I would like to extract all the isos from his backup dvds and move them to his hard drive with WBFS Manager .

I have used image burn to get the ISO image from the backup dvds

I would also like to remove any updates from these isos
have tried WiiBrickBlocker but the update partition still remains after using WiiBrickBlocker as it shows up as partition 0 in wii scrubber.

Also after scrubbing an iso with wii scrubber the file size still shows as a full dvd 4.7 gig what am I doing wrong.

Can anyone please help thanks.

IMO you should get an USB Loader like CFG LOader and configure it to rip the "games only partition" directly to your usb drive in .wbfs format (assuming your hdd drive is formatted fat32/ntfs) and this way you can skip ripping them with imgburn, using wiibrickblocker , scrubbing them with wiiscrubber etc.

It is normal. Don't worry, after ripping the backup disc with the loader it will shrink the size of the image (iso)

Can anyone please help thanks.

You are welcome!
