How to backup Wii and Gamecube discs from an unmodded Wii over Wireless LAN

Before you start you need a copy of Zelda to install the twighlight hack and the Homebre channel i wont go into detail as there is plenty of tutorials and youtube vids on how to do this you will find them
Here
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack
And Here
http://hbc.hackmii.com/

Now get Wii DVD Dumper (Custom IOS) v1.2
Here
http://wii.waninkoko.info/

If you dont already have cIOS 249 installed you can download the installer
Here
http://rapidshare.com/files/162573814/cIOS_Installer.rar.html

Put the DVD Dumper and cIos installer folders into your apps folder on your SD card

Launch the Homebrew Channel
Run the cIOS installer follow the prompts

 Run the DVD dumper app

Use the D-pad on the Wiimote (left right) To select Dump option Wifi connection SD or USB
Press A to proceed

Use the D-pad on the Wiimote (left right) To select Disc type Gamecube Wii single- layer Wii Dual-layer
Insert Disc
Press A to proceed

Wait for the screen to promt and press any button

You will the be displayed a Url that will consist of your Wii's IP

Now go to your PC load Firefox and go to that URL

You will see a page displaying two links select the Download iso link and save file to PC
Thats it once the download is complete you can select the link to restart you WII

Obviously you will need WiFi if chosing that method  i did it over my wifi router no problem happy ripping :)

I'll have to try this out, I have tons of games.  There's also a method for the GameCube that dumps it to an SD card, I'll have to try that out as well.

start with a gc disc otherwise your looking at around 4 hours dont bother with dumping to SD otherwise youll end up with bits over wi-fi you get 1 iso. :)

I'm dumping SEGA Soccer Slam right now, seems to be working great :).  I'm going to try it to an external harddrive and/or an SD card, it might be faster.

Actually, come to think of it, it probably doesn't even matter because it was only going at slightly less than 500kb/s, wifi and usb 1 are much more capable than that.  Wifi is the most handy anyway.
