This tutorial will tell you how to dump Wii/GameCube games, and WADs from your System Memory

Dumping Wii/GameCube Games

Requirements

An SD Card or USB drive with at least 4.7GB of space (8.5GB if dumping a Dual Layer disk)
CleanRip

Instructions

Downloading

Extract CleanRip and put it in your apps folder on your SD card or USB drive
- The root of your SD Card should now look like this
  - (root)
    - apps
      CleanRip
      boot.dol

      meta.xml
Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii and launch CleanRip from the Homebrew Channel.

Usage

Select the device you want to dump your game to

Select Yes to download the redump.org DAT files if prompted

This is required to ensure that the resulting dumps are clean/accurate

You may get an exception error if you do this. If so, simply skip and verify your dump on Dolphin Emulator if needed.

Insert the disk you want to dump

Select the settings as shown below

If you are dumping one of the 13 games on this list, set Dual Layer to Yes.

Press A to start dumping the disk, once it's done, go to joining PART files

DVD Dump Tool is mostly outdated except for network dumping, which is a feature not implemented in CleanRip. If you want to dump direct to SD or USB, use CleanRip instead.

Requirements

A Windows/macOS/Linux PC with an internet connection
DVD Dump Tool

Instructions

Download speeds will be slow due to limitations in the network hardware of the Wii, but it remains a valid solution if you are willing to be patient.

Your Wii and your computer must be connected to the same local network.

Downloading

Extract DVD Dump Tool and put it in your apps folder on your SD card or USB drive
- The root of your SD Card should now look like this
  - (root)
    - apps

      meta.xml

Usage

Press D-PAD Right, then press A

Select the proper disk type for your game, the options are: GameCube Disc, Wii Single-Layer Disc, and Wii Dual-Layer Disc

If you are dumping one of the 13 games on this list, select Wii Dual-Layer Disc

Insert the disk you want to dump

If it is already inserted, eject and reinsert the disk

Press any button to start the dumping process

Remember or write down your Wii’s URL (IP address)
On your PC, open your web browser, go to the address bar, and enter your Wii URL
Click on Click here to download XXXX.iso, once it's done, go to joining PART files

Joining PART files

If you dumped the disc (regardless if it was to a PC or Wii) on a FAT32 formatted device, you should have gotten at least two files that end with .partX.iso. They need to be joined.

Copy the files with the same name and end with .partX.iso into a new folder on your computer
In this folder, click the address bar in Windows Explorer and type cmd
Type copy /b *.part?.iso game.iso, then press enter
Wait until the merging process finishes, It should end with it outputting 1 file(s) copied

Copy the files with the same name and end with .partX.iso into a new folder on your computer
Open the terminal
Run cd [PATH], replacing [PATH] with the folder path to your .partX.iso files
Use the following command as is: cat \*.part?.iso > game.iso
Wait until the merging process finishes.

You have successfully dumped your Wii/GameCube disk!
