Hey guys i want to backup some wii games

i have 3 solutions

1 Lg dvd rom
2 sd gecko
3 usb gecko

i am thinking a $20 gecko that i can use a sd card might be the way to go what do you guys think ?

and any limit on the sd card size wise

what is the quickest and easist way people are doing this ?

cheers

I use the sd gecko. Bigest card you can put in is 2 gig which makes it quite slow to do. the other problem Ive had with it is if there are any problems in the copy process you only find out at the end wich takes 1 1/2 hours. It also requires you to swap the sd card to the PC 3 times which means you cant start it and go to bed and its done in the morning. This is where the other 2 methods would be better but for $20 the gecko is a great option. I would love to try the LG drive but havnt had a good look at the requirements for it yet.

Install Homebrew Channel and you can WiFi to your pc or back up on a SD Card, either way it takes hours to do

I did my 1st backup yesterday and used the LG DVD ROM. I followed the instructions from worked a treat. Took 3 hours to image the DVD and then 20 minutes to burn the ISO (because I burnt it at slow speed).

The good thing is....once you have a backup, you can backup a backup simply by using "Copy DVD" using Nero.
