Ripping Games: Difference between revisions

Added a small note about chunks (Which is where the ≥1GiB thing came from). Also, restored GiB (gibibyte). Giga means 1000^3, while Gibi means 1024^3. Software like cleanrip use Gibi it should be specified. Added a note and link to define gibibyte.
m (Minor cleanup of my previous writing. More slight grammar changes to come. Exciting, I know.)

No gamecube titles take up more than 1.5 gigabytes. It's generally a good idea to set Chunk Size to max, so that your iso isn't split into parts. Gamecube discs can store a maximum of 1.5 gigabytes, so the entire ISO can fit on a FAT32 drive. Simply follow the instructions on-screen and you'll be able to put the game straight from the SD card or USB drive into dolphin.

In order to rip a single layer wii disc, you will need a storage device with more than 4.7 gigabytes of free space. In order to rip a dual layer disc, however, your device needs at least 8.54 gigabytes free
In order to rip a wii disc, a storage device with more than 4.7GiB of free space is recommended for single layer, 8.54 GiB for dual layer. However, by dividing the disc into chunks, an SD card with even a single gibibyte of free space is sufficient.


At the CleanRip Setup screen, set '''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 '''Chunk Size''' to max possible ('''"1GB"''', '''"2GB"''', '''"3GB"''', or '''"Max"''') and set '''New device per chunk''' to '''"Yes"''' and when CleanRip is asking for the next device, remove it from the Wii and move the first or so ISO file to free up space and use it again. When all pieces have been received, check in the next subsection.
