CleanRip and sysmenu 3.2 datel FreeLoader
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2019 3:27 am
Hello to everybody, I have an issue with a disc on CleanRip and I'm not quite sure of the exact problem.
The disc I am trying to make a dump of is "FreeLoader for Wii (USA)" this is a bit of a strange disc. I'm using the modified version of CleanRip meant to be used on datel discs, problem is, CleanRip auto detects it as a Wii disc, it is not. The disc is the same type as that used for a GameCube disc, so CleanRip can't really handle it properly when trying to dump it as a Wii disc. I need a version of CleanRip that will either detect the disc size properly, as it must be a 1.35gb disc, or manually let me select the option.
Another issue I'm having is that the Wii Firmware update 3.3 patched out the ability to use this disc, which may also be affecting the proper dumping of this disc. A preliminary attempt saw to progress being halted at 33%. After removal of the disc the "dump" continued to progress and a 4.37gb iso filled entirely with large blocks of 00s and 55s after the header was the result, this can not be correct. In addition to a new version of CleanRip for this disc, I may also need to downgrade the firmware on my Wii from 4.3 to 3.2. Could somebody walk me through the do's and don'ts of this? I'm not finding much online other than "Don't downgrade your Wii, there's no reason to". On the contrary this might be literally the only reason to. I would definitely try a new version of CleanRip that lets me manually select the disc size first, but if that's not enough I may have to go down this route as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
