A tool to backup your GameCube/Wii Discs via IOS58 Create 1:1 backups of your GC/Wii discs for archival purposes without any requirements for custom IOS (cIOS).

Supports USB 2.0/NTFS/FAT32 & Front SD.

Features

• FAT/NTFS.
• USB 2.0 support.
• Front SD support.
• BCA Dumping.
• Redump.org Rip Verification (via gc-forever.com).

User guide

Requirements:

• Wii running the latest HBC.
• Wii (or GC).
• Wii/GC Controller.
• USB or SD storage device (>1.35GB free space).

Extract the .zip archive to your card, run it via the Homebrew Channel then follow the on-screen instructions.

Please note that the Wii can be picky about particular USB drives/storage devices. It's recommended to use a Y cable for hard drives that fail to power up from one USB port alone.

If USB flash storage doesn't want to work, try a different brand/size. SD cards on GameCube will potentially have similar issues, it's best to have a few different brands/sizes/types at your disposal.

How To Dump Your GameCube/Wii Games Using CleanRip - Modded Wii Required (Archades Games)

Known issues

NTFS issues

NTFS was broken on versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 - but was fixed in 1.0.4.

Issues with modchips

When dumping GC Games, if you have a Wiikey/Modchip installed, make sure region patching is turned off, especially the "Full GC Regionfree" feature that Wiikey has as it will produce bad rips.

Wii DAT download

The Wii/GC DAT files from redump.org fail to download. To manually obtain these files, download the latest version of the "Datfiles, Cuesheets, and GDIs compilation" from Here. Extract the Wii and GC dat files. Rename the files to wii.dat and gc.dat and place them in the root directory of the device you will use to rip discs with.
