This is for people who doesn't have a USB drive, not everyone can pay for a 70-100 bucks USB backup. This backup is for making Wii DVD games. Granted, yes it can be used to rip Wii games onto the USB drive, but as you pointed out. USB GX does the same thing (at a faster pace).
Maybe someone can offer some advice or suggestions. I have been playing around with this tool but I only own 1 game. WII Resorts. I have a 4GB USB Stick and the stick keeps running out of room. It gets to bin 5 and tells me there is not enough space.
It runs out of room because it's a 1:1 disk dumper and you're only giving it 4gb of space to work with. A 1:1 wii disk iso is 4.37 gigs.
That makes sense, so with an 8GB stick I should be ok. Once I have the bins on the USB Stick, I can then create an .iso and burn to DVD-R. Is that correct? Thanks for the information. I know DVD, Blu Ray and HVDVD world very well, but this is new to me.
