[http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip] can rip a game disc to an SD card or an external USB storage device. Note that CleanRip is not auto-configured to write a file with more than 1 GiB in file size and will instead split it into several pieces. 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. 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 (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 will be 1.36 GiB.

GameCube discs will not be split under FAT, FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS because the max size will be 1.36 GiB. CleanRip only triggers the '''Wii Disc Ripper Setup''' screen for Wii discs.


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.
