    There are apps to rip wii games from the gamecube mode using sd gecko or usb gecko what you'd need is such app burned onto a NR disc and you are good to go.

    I got a DVDROM drive in that rips Wii games, unfortunately the app tells me the drive might be broken when I try to rip the RVT disc. Any suggestions? Its ripping retails fine so I think its probably a situation like the Gamecube, where we need a specific laser to read them :\

    mathieulh, has anyone confirmed that would work with an RVT disc in place of an NR though?

    well RVT discs are basically 4.7GB NR discs so basically burning a gamecube application on it should work (as long as you run it on a wii) of course I may be wrong but I doubt it.

    Of course this method implies that you have a RVT-R reader, a burner for RVT-R or NR discs and blank NR or RVT-R media in the first place, not everyone has that kind of stuffs xD

    I would try this method to backup rvt-r discs:
    install wiikey or other chip in rvt reader, use gecko adaptor with big sd card, pop in the rvt-r game and backup it as you would with retail. It should work like a charm.
    I have some rvt-r discs, which I really want to play, but I don't have any working rvt-readers at home :(

    I pretty much doubt any wiikey is meant for a RVT-R drive, especially as those use other chipsets. Beside why would you try to mod a RVT-R Reader when you can already get code running on it by burning a RVT-R disc ?

    The point I think he was trying to make was that to dump an original game to sdcard you only need a mod chip to be able to run the dumping program. You just need to burn it on the correct media....

    PSO exploit is so five years ago. Get the latest SD Media Launcher and use that to boot a program that lets you dump to SD Card.

    Retail Wii games work, but RVT discs do not.
