[http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip] can rip a game disc to SD or USB. Note that CleanRip | [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. | ||
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 | 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).

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)]].

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. | |||
==== In event of split files ==== | |||
You will 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). | |||
On PC, download [http://hjsplit.org/ HJ-Split] for your system, extract it, and then launch it. Rename the multiple files you have ripped with CleanRip to exactly same file name and extension (GAMEID.iso) but add another file extension .001 (GAMEID.iso.001), .002 (GAMEID.iso.002), and so on respectively, then let HJ-Split do the magic. | |||
