[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.

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 an entirety of the ripped disc file at once.

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.

If you were to rip a game disc to a storage device that is not large enough to save the entirety of it, it's not the end of the world. CleanRip features '''New device per chunk''' specifically for this. Set it to '''Yes''' and set '''Chunk Size''' to max possible ('''1GB''', '''2GB''', '''3GB''', or '''Max'''). 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 section.
