How to Use Wii Dump

Wii Dump, also known as Raw Dump, is used on Window computers to create back-up discs of Wii and Gamecube games. The process creates an .iso file that stores a back-up copy of the game. Because of the specific files that Wii and Gamecube games use, special software like Wii Dump must be used to create back-up files; regular software ripping tools will encounter errors.

Instructions

- 1
  Insert the Wii disc into your computer's DVD drive. Wii discs operate on DVD media, so you cannot use a CD drive to read the disc.
- 2
  Download and install the Raw Dump application onto your computer. Download versions 2.0 or later because they have better compatibility and speed.
- 3
  Exit out of any running applications. The process uses a lot memory and could freeze if too many processes run in the background.
- 4
  Click on the drop-down menu and select the DVD drive that the Wii disc is inserted into. Wait for the application to process the disc and information to appear directly underneath the drop-down menu.
- 5
  Press the "Start Dump" icon at the bottom of the screen. Choose a location for the new folder of Wii data. Press "OK" and the process begins.
- 6
  Watch the completion, process and "Time to Go" lists on the screen. This will keep you updated with the progress and any potential errors.
- 7
  Confirm the file size when the operation completes. Locate the "ISO" file on your computer, right-click on it and select "Properties." Look for the file size to be exactly 4.37 gigabytes. This is the standard size used for all Wii games.
