Title: I have a question... Post by: blahman179 on September 17, 2010, 03:01:12 PM I want to back up all my Wii games.
The problem is, my computer doesn't have a dvd burner/drive in it... Is there a way to store the Wii ISO's on my COMPUTERS hard drive, and somehow load and play them on the Wii? I've read about external hard drives being used, but I don't have the cash for some 16Gb USB 2.0 drive. Any help? Even if it isn't possible, can someone explain why? Thanks.

An attempt would be appreciated as well... Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: DarkPikachu on September 17, 2010, 07:25:19 PM to be honest, I havn't yet tried...
but I do wan't to... I've heard about loading an ISO from an SD card... :/ Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: Quanno on September 18, 2010, 07:24:10 AM You can store your iso on a hard drive formatted to wbfs trough the wii, then you can place them with wbfs manager to your pc.
and don't try to bump it a half hour later. Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: blahman179 on September 18, 2010, 09:45:43 AM I've actually been snooping and found this:
Code: http://www.flatmii.com/ Oh, and if other users can get away with bumping their own thread, I can too... Apparently, it's able to sync your pc to your Wii and stream the ISO in, from what I read. The site says it won't cost more than 38€ plus tax and S&H. No hard-modding required, and it's region free. I could see this turning sour though... Edit: Checked one of the sellers. It looks like a legit piece of technology, and it's, rounded up, $USD40. Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: Quanno on September 18, 2010, 12:25:59 PM If you have already some kind of hard drive, you can use my advise.
Otherwise, it might be smart to buy this. And about the bumping; I'd say the same thing to others if I see it. Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: RevengeHunter on September 18, 2010, 02:09:22 PM If you have Wi-Fi you can use Wii dvd dumper to rip the disc to your pc over Wi-Fi. Otherwise go for hard drive/flatmii.

It's just a homebrew app; totally free. Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: Quanno on September 19, 2010, 01:03:29 AM It's free, but it would probably take some huge time to do, especially if you have lots of games.
Title: Re: I have a question... Post by: The Corrupted one on September 19, 2010, 09:31:54 AM But if you have pirating software (basicly thats what it is) on your wii and you screw up and send it to nintendo I have heard of 500$ fines

1. Use a modified Wii Console. Either Softmodded or Hardmodded. > Boot USB Loader (or) DVD Dumper off your SDcard to dump data from a disc back to your PC. 2. Buy one of the listed LGdrives, and modifiy the drives firmware to allow you to directly copy the data (fastest method) > LG-8164b > LG-8163b > LG-8162b > LG-8161b http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/471073 The third is to download a pirated copy, although that's not very "safe" or legal. but the other methods require fair knowledge of both hardware and software modding. people usually buy a pre-hacked Wii or LG drive. But! if your here that means you "should" already have a modded Wii, in which case search on youtube for info on USB Loader, or DVD Dumper. guides and links will appear I'm sure |
