Hello, I am debating whether or not to use cleanrip to get iso files of the wii games I own since I sold my wii to my brothers (we do not live together) since theirs broke. I have a few questions which I would like answered:
1. what is the general read-write speed to usb2.0 ntfs? I know some said it is hard to do but that could be because of multiple partitions
2. which drive should I put the .dat files on? the SD card or the external itself?
3. is there a site to determine the size a file should be in advance? just want to check.
as stated above, I OWN all the games I am trying to rip, I just no longer have a wii to play them on. thank you

1. It's generally quite good, above 5mb/s for me. Use a simple drive with a single partition and you should be fine.
2. The .dat needs to go onto the drive you'll dump the files to.
3. Nintendo Wii ISO size: 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes) Nintendo Gamecube ISO size: 1.35 GB (1,459,978,240 bytes). I don't have the Dual Layer size off hand.

Thanks, i have One final question, is there any other way to get the .dat files? Seems like redump.org is down again

thanks for the files. will post the results.

FWIW, even after downloading the two .dat files, I have never seen CleanRip display that any of my discs have been verified against the database, which suggests that the feature is not working correctly in the current release.

thanks for the advice, still have not tried it yet. I have yet to try it out, should have results by tomorrow night.

Add it to the issue tracker then...
