Usage
When prompted, select Yes to calculate disc checksums.
Select your device that you will be dumping the game to - a USB device or SD card.
Select the filesystem type of the device - in most cases it will be FAT (FAT32).
Ensure that your device is connected to the system and press A to proceed.
When prompted, select Yes to download the redump.org DAT files.
This is required to ensure that the resulting dumps are clean and accurate.
You may get an exception error if you do this. If so, restart your Wii and try again - but if you continue to get exception errors, dump the disc and verify the checksum in Dolphin instead if needed.
Insert the game disc you would like to dump, and press A to continue.
As of v2.1.2 of CleanRip, there is an option to auto-detect whether or not the disc you have is dual layer. If you are on an earlier version, or just want to verify that the correct option is being selected, you can check this list to see if your game is a dual layer disc.
If you get an unrecovered read error, ensure that the disc you are attempting to dump is clean and can be properly read by the console. Even though you may be able to play the game disc normally, you may still get this error. If the error persists, try to dump another disc and see if the same error happens.
When prompted, select if your disc is an unlicensed Datel disc. If unsure, select No.
Set the settings as shown on the screen below, while verifying if your game disc is dual layer or not.
Press A to start dumping the disc.
This process can take some time, since it will dump all 1.3 GB of the Mini DVD.
When the dump finishes, you should see a screen with the MD5 checksum of your disc, compared to the Redump DAT if you enabled it.
You have successfully dumped your Wii disk! If you dumped the disk to a FAT32 formatted device, you need to join the files - in this case, progress to Joining PART files.
When prompted, select if your disc is an unlicensed Datel disc. If unsure, select No.
Press A to start dumping the disc.
When the dump finishes, you should see a screen with the MD5 checksum of your disc, compared to the Redump DAT if you enabled it.
You have successfully dumped your GameCube disk!
Joining PART files
If you have dumped a Wii game disc (regardless if it was to a PC or Wii) to a FAT32 formatted device, you should have gotten at least two files that end with .partX.iso. This section will show you how to join them.
Copy the files that share the same name and end with .partX.iso into an empty folder on your computer.
In this folder, click the address bar in Windows Explorer and type in cmd, this will open a command prompt window there.
Type copy /b *.part?.iso game.iso and press enter. Wait for the command to finish, your terminal output should be similar to the below.
If the copy process executed correctly, the checksum from the game dump info file (located where you dumped your disc at) should match the resulting joined file.
Copy the files that share the same name and end with .partX.iso into an empty folder on your computer.
Open a terminal in the directory where your files are at, or cd [PATH] to it.
Use the following command as is: cat `ls *.part?.iso | sort` > game.iso. Then, wait for the merging process to finish. Like in Windows, the resulting checksum should match the dump.
