[Howto] Dump wii or gamecube games with pc [No wii needed!]

So I just bought a GDR-8162B0015 and am having some issues dumping SS with rawdump 2.1. Whenever I put the disc in, I sometimes get a faulty drive error, some other error (sorry can't remember what kind it was), or the program just locks up and enters the not responding mode. I've tried safe mode, that didn't work, and I've tried all the combinations of opening the drive first or starting rawdump first, etc. I only got rawdaump to recognize that the drive had a "wii game" in it once, and that was for about two seconds, then I got an error. The drive reads cds, dvds, and gamecube games fine, and i'm dumping twilight princess as i type this.
I guess it should be noted that I'm running with drive externally through an IDE to USB connector and am running windows 7 via bootcamp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 12-16-2011, 02:35 PM
Hello, I joined to inform (don't know if this is how the list gets updated but whatever) that the drive TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633C, integrated with certain Sony VAIO laptops does not work. (NOTES: Tried dumping Donkey Kong Country Returns, drive attempted reading, with various starts and stops until it appeared to identify disc as Wii disc then stopped and gave a faulty drive error)
Useless post is useless. Sorry. 12-23-2011, 09:10 AM
This drive should work, right? It is a GDR-h10N, but I dont know the other numbers

I bought a LG GDR-8163B drive and connected it to my computer using a IDE-to-USB connector. I'm using x64 linux and succeeded dumping Skyward Sword using the open source friidump program (version 0.5.3). Some (rather trivial) modifications of the program source code were necessary in order to make it compile and run without crashing.
If you're using friidump too, it's worth noting that dumping to an ISO file with the -i flag does NOT work correctly. It produces a file which looks good regarding size and stuff, but it's simply garbage. You have to dump to a raw file using the -r flag, and then unscramble that file with -u. In case someone is interested in this, this is the sha1 checksum of the european version of Skyward Sword: Code: 110c5dff4a54a961bea8237ac03d4e59c167bca6 SkywardSwordRaw9i.iso Code: 677dc0c28e3655b67fd365d05165e0d2e2cec357 /tmp/test.iso It is also worth noting that the checksum I have here doesn't match anything I found on the internet; still the image works fine. The same device, same connection method, did NOT work with rawdump 2.1 on windows 7 32bit. The program just locked up and reported an invalid drive error, like described in this thread by other people. Here's the changes I made to friidump 0.5.3. Code: diff --git a/friidump-0.5.3/libfriidump/CMakeLists.txt b/../Spiele/friidump-0.5.3/libfriidump/CMakeLists.txt Cheers 01-06-2012, 08:30 AM

I just purchased a HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B0015 the speed starts off at 2500MB/hour and starts getting slower and slower at about 2 hours its down to 277MB/hour with only 511mb download (this also goes up and down). What gives? do I need different firmware??
Using RawDump 2.1 dual layer unchecked. Windows XP home. Amd X2 4200. 3gb RAM Thanks. 01-21-2012, 08:30 AM
