Dumping your Discs allows you to: play them on a Wii emulator (namely Dolphin), play them using a USB/SD Card loader such as Wiiflow, make Virtual Console injects that can be installed on a Wii U formatted USB drive or the NAND and launched from the Wii U Menu.
Dumping Wii games require a working homebrew setup on vWii, so make sure to finish the vWii Modding Guide beforehand. |
It is ILLEGAL to share the files dumped with this guide. If you intend to use this guide to share your dumped games, don’t. |
