GameCube and Wii games may be ripped using a DVD-ROM and either Rawdump 2.0 (see this thread ), or FriiDump. Only DVD-ROM drives have been reported to work for ripping. Any DVD Writer can be used to burn. The DVD-ROM drives that rip are all manufactured by LG Electronics or H-L Data Storage, but are sold under various brand names (see the list.

It used to be easy to obtain ROMs for emulators. One could easily go online and download all the games they desired. But there are many reasons why you can’t and shouldn’t now. Legality issues, risk of viruses, and Nintendo’s actions against sharing their ROMs online make downloading ROMs a bad idea.
However, all hope is not lost! It is possible to dump your own games without violating any legal or copyright rules, and therefore have games ready to play on these emulators. In this article we’ll begin discussing how one could legally obtain ROMs of Nintendo games.

Preface

Emulators are very popular nowadays, and they’re a fantastic way of enjoying your favorite classic video games. They come with so many benefits, such as improved resolution and support for any controller or device, to name a few. You can even use a console as a dedicated emulator system. But, of course, you need actual games to play on the emulator.
Nintendo has made this very hard, as of late. They’ve threatened legal action against many ROM hosting sites and had their games taken down. Even if you do manage to find a (sketchy) site that still has ROMs available for downloading, technically you’re breaking the law. But not if you can work around it!

The Legality of Emulators and ROMs

CleanRip is a Gamecube and Wii optical disc backup tool for the Nintendo Wii. The 'Clean' in CleanRip comes from the fact that this tool does not require nor utilize any custom IOS (cIOS). It's generally easier and faster to rip game discs via a Wii console, if you have one: Ripping Discs Using CleanRip. CleanRip can rip a game disc to an SD card or an external USB storage device. It requires your Wii or vWii system to have the Homebrew Channel. No GameCube titles take up more than 1.36 GiB (Gibibyte, or 1024 3. Once that's done, exchange discs with whatever you're wanting to rip. Follow GCOM24's on screen instructions to start the ripping procedure. Once it's ready to rip, head to your computer. Navigate to whatever you set the Gamecube's IP address to be, and it should prompt you with an ISO download. Give it about 20 minutes, and it's done. A Gamecube or Wii game Software: Rawdump 2.1 Get it here: Link First you need one of this drive in order get this working dont got it? If you got one of this drives Congrats you ready to rip youre games! When you downloaded the software place it somewhere to find it easy Then insert youre Gamecube or Wii DVD in the Disk Drive.

Legally speaking, downloading ROMs from the internet is pretty much always considered piracy. It’s downloading games you didn’t pay for. On the flip side, however, there is nothing illegal about downloading and running emulators. So, if we want to use emulators for their various benefits over standard consoles, how do we get games to use with them legally? The answer is something I want to encourage and teach all readers here to do: dump your own game collection.
The legality of this is that it is perfectly okay to make backups of data that you legally own. So, if you legally own a cartridge or disc, you can take a backup of its data for safe keeping on your hard drive. It’s useful in the event your game gets lost or breaks (the downfall of both discs and cartridges). And it of course has the added benefit of being able to use with emulators.
However, this becomes illegal when you decide to share that game you just dumped. You end up with two copies of a game, and the person you shared with gets a copy that he or she did not pay for. I would like to make it clear that this article, this blog, and I myself do not support sharing or obtaining games by any illegal means whatsoever. We are only focusing on and encouraging legal methods of obtaining these games.

What Can Be Dumped, and The Methods of Dumping

I’d like to show that it is possible with little to moderate difficulty to obtain ROMs from pretty much anything. Many of these methods involve hacking consoles, which I won’t discuss, but I will include tools needed on those hacked systems. This article simply shows what systems and tools can be used to obtain ROM backups. Future guides will show in detail how to actually use these tools to dump your games. Click here for Part 2, which is on dumping Nintendo discs!

Dump from cartridge using a hacked console
This method is complicated and not recommended. The Nintendo Switch hacking process is much more challenging and risky than the other consoles.
