Hacking Ripping Wii Games Inside WiiFlow Not Working

[A4orce84]

Hey Guys,

I made a post a few weeks ago about ripping Wii games to a USB drive. A few of you recommended using the built-in tool inside of Wiiflow to achieve this. Unfortunately, every-time I tried I was greeted with an error message and the Wii restarted itself back to the Wiiflow menu:

WiiFlow Rip Option:

WiiFlow Error Message:

Has anyone been able to figure this out? Do I need to do something special to be able to rip Wii games thru Wiiflow? I know some people also recommended using CleanRip, but this seemed like the easier option to start with.

Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried any of the other disk ripping tools?
There's CleanRip I believe, and I don't know if the other USB loaders do so too.

Hey Shadow!

I've downloaded CleanRip, but I haven't found any super clear instructions on how to use it. Do you have a link or youtube video on how someone has used it correctly?

Thanks in advance!

The app should have on screen instructions.

Boot it up and follow them step by step

So, I installed CleanRip and followed the instructions on-screen. Ripped a Wii game into .ISO format on my external USB Drive. However, Wiiflow is NOT finding the .iso file when I click on the Wii icon for my games. I checked the settings and made sure it was looking at the USB drive, but the game (.iso file) is not showing up.

Thoughts?

I think the games need to be inside a particular folder with the name of the game in the folder and the game ID inside square brackets after the name.

It's been a while since I last put any Wii games but I think that's how it goes.

Any way you can check with your current setup Shadow? Thanks again man.

Sadly I haven't used anything else outside Wiiflow.
I'm not home right now, but I'll see what I can do when I get home.

have you tried the reload cache option?
