Plus I cloned my Wii's NAND so I have all of the Virtual Console games and savegames, and I also dumped all of my GameCube memory cards and put everything to the Dolphin memory cards images.
Everything is cool and future-proof now!Highly recommend doing this if you have a working Wii - just install Homebrew Channel and CleanRip.
If I were to try dumping my collection... do you know if you can do the same soft mod using wiiu? I know I cant do gc with it but it is backward compatible w wi ... Id love to save all my vc stuff...
Yeah, you can do the soft mod for the Wii mode on wiiu and dump your wii games. It actually might work for gc games too, I can't remember for sure.
Wii U cannot dump GameCube games sadly. I wish it worked too
Jailbreaking the Wii U is a little bit more involved as it requires some "special" equipment. It's in quotes as not many are going to have a USB A to ethernet adapter, nor a compatible model, but they aren't all that rare either. But once it's done you don't have to worry about jailbreaking it again. Dumping Wii U games isn't much harder than GC/Wii either.
