Hacking Re-iso backup discs for usb - failing wii laser!

[wiiuk4]

Hi, got the usb loader working, and due to a failing wii laser I want to get the iso's off my backup discs using my pc so I can copy to the usb drive and play without laser issues giving DRE's - is there any way of doing this?

thx!

Dont think you can only the wii can read the dvd's to back them up you would probley have to get a friend to use the usb loader on there wii and backup your games to your hardrive

Looks like i will have to download the games again ;(

thx for your help...

If the discs that you are trying to copy to usb loader are already backups, as in they are on dvd+/-r's, not pressed discs from nintendo, use imgburn to make an iso of the disc, then install using wbfs_win_delta. It should work, I had a backup disc that was on a crappy dvd-r(memorsux) and it wouldn't read in my Wii, did this and burned the iso I got to a verbatim disc, worked fine.

I've just tested copying a backup of Mario Kart Wii from a burnt disk back to the PC using Imgburn, and just loaded the resulting ISO back to the HDD. Works fine!

if you have burned your games you can simply create a iso of them with any burning tool you want. i use imgburn. no special liteon drive needed. if you have decrypted games for bul 1 i don't think that there is any chance. because there are a lot of files missing. like bootloader and other.

Put the burned game into PC.

Open up ImgBurn and Copy the Disc as it will make a copy of it.

It works.
