After 2 months of hardcore programming, the WODE team have delivered version 2.00 firmware.

This firmware update allows you to rip original games directly to your harddrive!

 

The software can rip to 3 different file Systems

 

Fat32

NTFS

EXt3

Ripping is really easy, but there are a couple of options that speed up the process if you have heaps of originals to backup.

 

1. Fat32 ripping is about 5 times faster than NTFS! If you have a blank hardrive, we reccomend formatting the harddrive to Fat32.

If you have a windows machine, you cannot format a big harddrive in FAT32 without a special program, we have hosted a free application here --

Just open the application, make sure the drive letter is correct, and click "Quick Format".

 

2. There are 2 file formats you can rip to. These are ISO and WBFS. An iso is always 4.4gb for a Wii game, and double that for a Dual layer game (there aren't many Dual Layer games). A WBFS game is just te size of the actual game, there there no "padding" on the file. So this is the best otion to choose and you can save about to 90% in space with certain small games.

 

3. There are then 3 options to choose after that "Rip All", "Rip no Update", "Rip Game only". We reccomend using the "Rip No Update" option. If you have the original game and it appears on your disc channel and it works...it means you already have the update on your Wii! So there is no point in ripping the Wii udpates with the game as they are not 150mb in size on newer discs.

 

If you have any questions please check out the WODE forums, as there is a dedicated ripping section to help you out!
