- NINTENDO GAMECUBE and WII Dumping Guide - (Page 2 of 3)

The guide was not updated yet nor with rev.19 neither with rev.17 as both are not confirmed to work properly at all, a pair of feedbacks cannot confirm anything. By the way your comment is the first one about bad results with rev19, probably you could be right but it seems nobody is really interested to check and leave feedbacks.

Start a new topic in the "Dumps" forum. Read the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING" sticky first, and name your topic like other posts.

What can I use if SuperDump is incompatible with rev 19?  I tried Using CFG USB Loader but the dumps were bad, I asked the devs why and they said the last 256kb were scrubbed due to WBFS file format or something like that.

Any other software that really works?

You can manually patch Superdump so it works on rev19. Just use a hex editor to change the bytes at 0x58328 from 2F656863 to 32000000 (dev/usb/ehc to /dev/usb2)

I've also just redumped some single and double disc GC games and single and dual layer wii games with rev19 and they all matched the DB. I think I used IOS 37 as the base, if that helps.

I will update the guide with Specialt1212 icons and patched Superdump as soon as possible.

If any pro dumpers could test this and report. I would gladly help expand the database.

Just tested it with 2 GC games and 1 Wii game and all matched DB:
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 1.00
Super Smash Bros. Melee 1.02
and
Wii Sports 1.01

Change log (v1.0.2):

- Added redump.org in-program verification (see FAQ section)
- Added auto file splitting (i.e. ripping a Wii disc to a large FAT32 hdd)
- Fixed BCA dumping (GC & Wii disc)
- Fixed Multi-Disc rip file names
- Fixed crashes on disc init

The best thing with CleanRip, apart from being faster than SuperDump, is that it doesn't use cIOS, but IOS58 + AHBPROT (the same as the Homebrew Channel itself). This allows for it to work in the exact same way for everyone, compared to the other dumpers that behave differently depending on the cIOS being used.

I sent a feature request today requesting for on the fly creation of reports for each image with calculation of CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, and DOL MD5, which would greatly simplify (well, at least speed up) report creation for new games. Let's see what the author thinks about that ...

Ka-ching!

I started writing this, then I lost interest because of how easy CleanRip is to use. Feel free to take this and use it.

Tools

• Nintendo Wii with the homebrew channel

• SD card and SD card reader on your PC or a USB storage device and IOS58 installed on your Wii

• CleanRip

• Disc(s) to dump

Getting Started

Your first steps will be hacking your Wii. See the "tools" section for information on how to do so.

Start CleanRip. Read the disclaimer and press A. If you do not have IOS58 installed, CR will warn you. If you plan on dumping to USB, install IOS58. If you will dump to SD, performance will not be effected. (You will be bugged to install every time you start the app without IOS58, so it may be a good idea anyway.) Select your dumping medium. Press A when your dumping device is inserted into the Wii. Press A to download the newest DAT from Redump.org (Internet connection required). Press A when your disc to be dumped is in the Wii.

Wii discs
Dual layer: No*
Chunk size: [Largest size that will fit on your SD card]**
New device per chunk: Yes.***

*99% of the time. Check online to see if your game is larger than 4.3 GB.
**Max only works on NTFS formatted devices.
***Only use [no] if your device can hold a full game dump (1.3 GB for GC, 4.3 GB for Wii).
