SuperDump, The fastest 1:1 disc dumper

Just a heads up. There is a newer software called SuperDump v1.2 Here is some info about it.

Note: I didn't make this software it's just a copy pasta from another thread.

Recently while working on RawkSD we've had to dump a few discs (RB1/GH3/GH:A/GH:WT/GH:M/GH:SH) and I thought I could make a much faster dumper than the available ones. So using the source code for CaitSith2's dumper (based on nitrotux's work) I went ahead and did it. The results are pretty impressive: around half an hour to dump a single layer disc and an hour to dump SSBB.

Features:
- Dumps to SD, USB2 or USB1 (fallback if USB2 is not detected)
- SDHC support under any IOS (although it tries to use IOS249 if available)
- Ability to choose chunk sizes (mainly to suit 1GB, 2GB and 4GB SD cards) and which chunk to start dumping from
- Checks for available free space before starting dump
- Detection of FAT partitions other than partition 0
- Shows time remaining (for current chunk only)
- Unlike the USBLoader, produces 1:1 disc images and works with FAT partitions

If you have a picky USB2 device (like kingston datatraveler DT100 keys), try starting superdump with no USB devices connected and only plug it in after the text appears. For me this avoids the "USB2 device not found, using USB1 instead..." message and I get full speed writing. Also the "Checking free space..." step can sometimes take a long time to complete for large FAT32 drives.

Bumping. Anybody tried this one yet? Google brings absolutely NOTHING up. so i'm just a little bit cautious about booting a .dol file without really knowing what it will do with my system. but man am I desperate for a faster dumping program. for whatever reason it takes me about 5 hours on wifi to dump a single layer wii disc. fine to do while i sleep, but man it takes up so much time that i could spend actually playing the game lol.

 

Here is a thread, at a different site.

Confirmed that it works.

Also the Program was released today June 25 2009, so give google spiders some time to pick up the thread!

 

wow. ok i can attest to this one. i am extremely impressed by Superdump. I'm serious, plug your USB device into the lower slot (USB 2.0) not the top one and you will literally be able to dump an entire single layer wii game in under 30 minutes. sometimes under 20. i did not think this was possible! awesome, i recommend this one to everybody.

 

Soooo...Does this mean my funky rocketfish external enclosure might be able to run games with this program

 

I tried my Wii Sports disc and it got done in about a half hour. I got 0.bin and 1.bin. How do I combine these parts on OS X with Terminal?

 

Download HJ-SLit http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/

(Creating ISO) Now open “hjsplit”. Click ‘Join’. Click on ‘Input File’ and select the FIRST chunk of the game (note: all chunks MUST BE in the same folder!). The Output should automatically be filled in. Then click on ‘Start’. Once it finishes go into that folder and you’ll see the newly created image file of the game. You may continue to burn that file onto a DVD to later be played on your WII!

 

Note this step is done on your computer

 

I tried HJSplit Java on my OS X and it didn't recognize the .bin files (it wouldn't let me select them), so I did this in terminal:

cd to the folder where the bins are, then:

cat 0.bin 1.bin 2.bin > wii.iso

 

so I put superdump on my SD card and run it like dvd dumper?

Will this recognize an 8gb SDHC? My other card is only 1GB so if I go that route will I be able to use hjsplit to put the six pieces back together?

 

nevermind I got that part going.

I assume that I start with 0.bin and then do 1.bin and use split to combine them?

 

Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories" > "Command Promp

1) Open it
2) Type Without the quotes "cd c:\"
3) Type without the quotes "copy /b 0.bin+1.bin wii.iso"
4) Let it do it's thing

Note: On step 2 "Cd" to where ever your bin files are. In this case it's in the root of C drive.

Note 2: If you have extra bins you can change step 3 to this "copy /b 0.bin+1.bin+2.bin+3.bin wii.iso" type as many bins you have and it will convert it to an iso.

 

1.bin freezes at 51% every time. Guess my disc is scratched or something

 

USB Loader GX dumps games to USB flash drive a lot faster than 30 minutes.

 

Most people use Superdump to dump .bat files unto their computer and make backups.

Odds are (like me) we don't have enough cash to buy those dang USB drives. So we are sticking with the DVD's for now

 

can some one please help me?

every thing goes fine when being split into chunks except for at the last chunk it says 99% sector error. What does this mean?

 

This program does indeed give problems if you do have a modchip installed. If you have one, try disabling it while ripping the game.

 

easiest way to put them bat together.ripped maybe forty games not one problem merging....

Step 1: Put them all in the same folder, like C:/hidden
Step 2: Open up a command prompt by clicking Start/Run and typing “cmd” and click ok.
Step 3: In the DOS window, type “cd c:\hidden” to navigate to the folder
Step 4: Type "copy /b filename0.bin+filename1.bin+filename3.bin gamename.iso"

Replacing the filenames of the iso with the actual filenames of the iso.

 

ummm, how is this faster than say USB loader GX or other disc dumpping software? With USB loader GX I was able to backup Smash Brother Brawl (6.7gb) in under 20 minutes directly from my original disc and smaller games take even less time - sometimes 5 minutes or less.

Plus there are no .bin files or batch files to mess with. Simply copy your disc/.iso to WBFS/wii format on the fly and that's it. And speaking of WBFS, if you already have an .iso file, it takes seconds (not minutes) to convert it to wii format and copy it to a portable USB drive.
