/viewtopic.php?t=2872 … -usa-v101/

I encourage people to redump my dumps which didn't match the scene releases.  I'm pretty confident in them though, as my methods/hardware/software have been the same for my 200+ Wii dumps.  We can't say the same for the scene releases.

Thanks!
When you have time please try to redump a pair of the ones I questioned also with the other slower tool just to check if you got same results.
Havikoro, we need the proof that Superdump gives always same result as Rawdump to say it's a good tool. At least it's not wireless, so at 99% there should be no loss of data.

I just dumped Rockband 2 and Wii Sports Resort today, this will hopefully clear things up.

Moreover, I see your dump of Wii Sports Resort matches scene release. So please check what I asked in previous post then I can add Superdump as confirmed tool in faq and confirm your "suspicious" dumps as good.

I guess Superdump as dumping tool is okay.

Rocknroms, do you mean redumping some of these with WiiDump 1.5.1 (to SD card, of course)?

I already did that for "Cabela's Trophy Bucks" when I realized it didn't match the scene release.  Results were identical.  I think that's the only one in your list that I dumped with both Superdump and WiiDump (according to my notes).

Another game that didn't match the scene release was "Need for Speed: ProStreet".  For that one, I had access to 2 discs, so I dumped both with Superdump and got identical results.

By the way, Superdump correctly aborts the dumping when there is a read error, like when a disc is scratched.  It's frustrating when that happens, but it's nice to have proof that the error checking is there.

Yes, I mean redumping with WiiDump and Superdump.
I think it's enough.

About post linked by iR0b0t: I read it when it was posted but I have to find time to update my modded wii to new configurations, infos around are always a great mess and I try to avoid wanikokos tools on Wii.

I'll make some test on my own and then I will provide a guide.
To begin, here are the confirmed dumping tools and methods:

1) Rawdump (if you want also Friidump, but it's slower) with a supported LG drive.

2) Superdump with a modded (also softmodded?) Wii.

3) Wiikey dump disc (more info are needed).

About GC I think that old method is obsolete.

I was using this disc (Wiikey dvddumper v0.8) for GC discs on my chip-modded GameCube and the results were always matching LG-Drive method, so probably it will be same for GC/Wii discs on Wii console.

This method also requires a chip-mod, and like You, I try to avoid any soft-mods on my consoles where I am playing on.

tested superdump a few times (7 Wii , 23 NGC games) and all dumps matched my RawDump dumps.

Now that I remember I hope it's not the tool you suggested to tossEAC because he got a lot of wrong checksums, probably it's suitable only with a certain mod or chip or (I don't know) there is a bugged version.

yes, there was a problem, but it was an other tool

Wiikey dvddumper v0.8 is working for me !

Yep same results with me all the games I tested with SuperDump match the ones in the db that I dumped with RawDump. SuperDump is pretty awesome with it being able to dump NGC in about 10mins as opposed to RawDump taking 60mins.
