I don't pirate, but I no longer own a Wii or GC. Before I purchase games to rip to iso I want to know if I would be able to do that on a Hp CDDVDW SH-216BB ATA Device. I know some drives aren't compatible. Could someone clarify if my drive would be compatible?
Is my optical drive good for ripping Wii/GC games?

Quote:I know some drives aren't compatibleMost of them are incompatible , only a few drives work. Here is a list for rawdump : https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-ho...wii-needed and a list for friidump Quote:Currently supported drives are:https://github.com/bradenmcd/friidump A used Wii is only about $20 , controller and sensor bar included . You will need them in a few games . Drives that support fiidump and rawdump are expensive and only available on ebay (or amazon if you're lucky) , you will need to buy sensor bar and controller eventually Laptop: Mini PC :: 01-16-2017, 11:56 AM

Whats a cheap Wii/ GC game that goes dirt cheap so I can test without wasting alot of money?Wii/GC Zelda and mario games are usually $30-40 used. Don't want to waste money for it not to work. Also, can GC discs fit in drive? Also, why only a select few drives that work? Are they really expensive drives? 01-16-2017, 12:08 PM
Quote:Whats a cheap Wii/ GC game that goes dirt cheap so I can test without wasting alot of money?Depending on where you live . All used Wii games are dirt cheap in Japan (less than 1 dollar) I could buy tons of them for like $50 Laptop: Mini PC :: 01-16-2017, 12:12 PM

If your drive isn't on the list, then it isn't going to work. Buying games to test with is pointless.

I'll just stick with Zelda alternatives already on Steam such as Beyond Good and Evil and Oceanhorn. Also, will stick with Mario alternatives such as Psychonauts, Rayman games, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, and the upcoming Yooka-Laylee (banjo kazooie spiritual successor) developed by ex-rare. Seriously to hell with Nintendo. Nintendo is overpriced, for both their old and new games. Even the 3DS has older games at $40-50. Seriously, and now they want everyone to "Switch" because their last product sucked. For what? The same ol' games. Give me a break Nintendo. Since I don't pirate I tried to go to the legal route via Dolphin, but turns out my drive won't work. Oh well, the older games I was looking at were pretty expensive anyway. No wonder people pirate. Still, not going that route. I like owning stuff because I'm more tempted to finish. I'm done. |
