[http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip] can rip a game disc to SD or USB. Note that CleanRip may be configured to split the ripped disc file into several pieces to fit the ''FAT'', ''FAT16'', or ''FAT32'' formatted SD or USB devices. These file systems have a max file size of 4 GiB (Gigabyte). You may need to put together the pieces of the ripped ISO yourself, or else Dolphin will not run it (or will just boot to a black screen). Also note that 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.

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. CleanRip is not auto-configured to write a file with more than 4 GiB in file size. At the '''Wii Disc Ripper Setup''' screen, set '''Chunk Size''' to '''Max''', and '''New device per chunk''' to '''No'''. | ||
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. | Certain Wii discs are [[Dual Layer Disc|dual layer (or DVD9) instead of single layer (or DVD5)]].
