-[http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip] can rip a game disc to SD or USB. Note that by default, CleanRip will split the ripped disc file into 1 GiB (Gigabyte) each. It can be changed within the '''Wii Disc Ripper Setup''' screen. Set '''Chunk Size''' to '''Max''' and set '''New device per chunk''' to '''No''' is recommended with SD or USB large enough to hold an entirety of the ripped disc file. CleanRip will split the ripped disc file with more than 4 GiB in file size regardless to fit the ''FAT'', ''FAT16'', or ''FAT32'' formatted SD or USB devices. These file systems have a max file size of 4 GiB. GameCube discs will not have this potential issue because the max size is only 1.36 GiB.
+[http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip] can rip a game disc to SD or USB. Note that CleanRip is not auto-configured to write a file with more than 1 GiB in file size and will instead split into several pieces. At the '''Wii Disc Ripper Setup''' screen, set '''Chunk Size''' to '''Max''', and '''New device per chunk''' to '''No''' is recommended with SD or USB large enough to hold an entirety of the ripped disc file. CleanRip will split the ripped disc file with more than 4 GiB in file size regardless to fit the ''FAT'', ''FAT16'', or ''FAT32'' formatted SD or USB devices. These file systems have a max file size of 4 GiB. To remedy this, it is recommended you rip the discs (especially Wii game discs) to a USB external ''NTFS'' formatted storage device (as Wii cannot read NTFS formatted SD cards). ''NTFS'' has a ''theoretical'' max file size of 16 EiB (Exabyte), or 16,777,216 GiB. GameCube discs will be fine either way because the max size is only 1.36 GiB.
-To avoid assembling the pieces of the ISO yourself, it is recommended you rip the discs (especially Wii game discs) to a USB external ''NTFS'' formatted storage device (as Wii cannot read NTFS formatted SD cards). ''NTFS'' has a ''theoretical'' max file size of 16 EiB (Exabyte), or 16,777,216 GiB.
 Certain Wii discs are [[Dual Layer Disc|dual layer (or DVD9) instead of single layer (or DVD5)]]. CleanRip will also need to be configured to read and rip those kinds of discs. 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.
