At the Wii Disc Ripper Setup screen, setting '''Chunk Size''' to '''"Max"''', and '''New device per chunk''' to '''"No"''' is recommended with SD cards or external USB storage devices large enough to hold the entirety of the ripped disc file at once. Otherwise, set it to '''"Yes"''' and set '''Chunk Size''' to max possible ('''"1GB"''', '''"2GB"''', '''"3GB"''', or '''"Max"''') and when CleanRip is asking for the next device, remove it from the Wii and move the first or so ISO file onto your PC to free up and use it again. When you have received all pieces, check in the next subsection. | |||
*CleanRip will split the ripped disc file with more than 4 GiB in file size regardless to fit the ''FAT'', ''FAT16'', or ''FAT32'' file systems. These file systems have a max file size of 4 GiB. To remedy this, it is recommended you rip the discs to a USB external ''NTFS'' formatted storage device (as Wii cannot read NTFS formatted SD cards). The ''NTFS'' file system has a ''theoretical'' max file size of 16 EiB (Exabyte), or 16,777,216 GiB. | |||

At the Wii Disc Ripper Setup screen, set '''Dual Layer''' to '''Yes'''. The rip will take roughly double the time than usual Wii discs of 4.38 GiB as the dual layer ISOs are 7.93 GiB in size. | ||
