As far as I know, SSBB is the only dual layer Wii disc so far.
At least until Metroid Prime Trilogy comes out.

Oh right, I hadn't thought of that. Undecided

I guess I'll just have to follow LuisR14's suggestion. Big Grin

... and hope that my optical drive supports dual-layer burning...

On another, more positive note, I just discovered SuperDump v1.2! Big Grin

According to the developer's independent test, you can dump a single-layer disc in just 31 minutes via USB!!! Exclamation

The USB Loader is without a doubt the best option for ripping Wii games. Something like SuperDump is good for GCN titles, though.

Just dropped by to say thanks! This way is very fast and efficient, I've been looking for a way to backup my Gamecube games for ages. This way is definitely the fastest I've come across.

What makes you think that? Because they are .iso by default?

Also, I was wondering, will this ruin my Wii disc drive? I've been doing up to 5 games in a day, so I hope I'm not ruining it. Do any of you guys know for sure?
Cheers!

Well, with the SLOW transfer rates of WiiDump and ISO Dumper I was worried too. SuperDump however dumps a GC game in a mere thirteen minutes so I'm guessing it doesn't stress it as much. On a positive note though, if you DO ruin your Wii's disc drive, at least you'll still be able to play your backups with USBLoader Tongue

Hmm, I didn't know you could also dump games with USBLoader. I thought it was merely a loader.
