Is there any way to rip music files off a Wii disc?

Post by Scooter »

I have a game with some great music and I'd love to rip it out to my MP3 player. My Windows system doesn't recognize the game disc at all so I suppose there's not much I can do.

If your wii is hacked you can rip a game over wifi to get the ISO, or you could track down one of the following four DVD drives that can read wii game discs;

* LG-8164b
* LG-8163b
* LG-8162b
* LG-8161b

Once you have the ISO you will need a program to open it up and find the music. Then you need to convert the music a format that your computer can read.

Since this is a long an complicated process, I would advice just searching torrent sites for game soundtracks. Its a lot easier then doing it yourself, and most major releases are not that hard to find.

I had this feeling it was gonna be De Blob from the moment i started reading this topic.

If you find a way to get hold of these tracks, share the love, I'd not mind having them myself!
