If I get a LG drive to dump games will I need anything else?

XDAOROMANS · 09-02-2012, 10:17 AM #1

Like the title says if I get a drive will I need anything else? We have a wii but it's my brothers so he wont let me mod it so this looks like the only other way.

Also will I be able to dump xenoblade and the last story? Cause they are the only games I really want to do this for.

And one last question will the drive work?

afaik it should work, and if it works for one game it will work for them all.

I think that's the guy I bought mine from, it works for GC and Wii games, but can't rip dual-layer discs

One last thing will these work with windows 7?

Should, I dunno about the dual layer thing, but I don't think the games you want need that anyway.

Wow really good thing I didnt order it yet. You wouldn't happen to have a link to one that does cause i'm pretty sure both are dual layer. I know for a fact the last story is.

Well if I can't dump the games without using the wii what would be the safest way to do it?

That is the only way to do it.

I think you should tell your brother to look at it this way: if he lets you hack the Wii just for a bit, and then restore it, he won't have to deal with you bothering him to use it anymore.

Btw, the last story (and xenoblade to a lesser extent) are very demanding games. I don't think you'll be able to run either full speed with the CPU you listed.

I have a i5-2400 in my computer I put the cpu of are other computer by mistake. So I could just put homebrew on his use cleanrip and then take the homebrew off when done?

Thanks for the help everyone, and also thanks for being patient.
