"Legit Backups" - hahahhahaahahhah

The Japanese Wii only operates in Japanese so menus and system options etc are all in Japanese, Games will be fine if they're English obviously.

sad thing is im running off of dial up, and do you have any idea how long it takes to download 2-5 gig games on it? ive tried and after two weeks i gave up on it i know it sounds fed up but its true, and trust me if i knew how to copy the games i rented into a playable version on a disk or image i would, now thas no lie my friend, i welcome you to my rural backwood city in V.A.

1. You could try googling around for a tutorial on FreeMCBoot, though I'm fairly sure someone here can help you if you're patient. All I know is that the slim ps2 can't use the hard drive, so I'm pretty sure you're out of luck there, but the fat ps2 should be fine.

2. I'm not sure if it's any different for japanese wiis but you should be able to install the homebrew channel, probably by using the banner bomb method. From there you'll just need to install a USB Loader (USB Loader GX is my personal favorite) and you'll need a compatible HD. I don't know where the list of compatible HDs right now, but it should be fairly easy to find if you just google it. Once you get all of that set up, it's really easy to rip your games to your HD and run them, and if you run into any problems with it, there's plenty of tutorials for any sort of issue, it shouldn't be too hard.

The same way you'd make your "legit" backups my friend!

Do you have any idea hw many people come through here claiming they're playing "legit" Backup copies, get some balls man. No one cares.

That guy can get in serious trouble for "selling" backups. Backup a few yourself , no-one is gonna bust down your door. Sell them or charge anything at all (heck even do it for others for free) and you're asking for trouble. The Man would love to make an example out of him.

thanx for the heads up, but i really have no idea how to copy my discs, if you could point me in the right software direction hell i'd save myself some cash and do it myself

Well if you're backing up Wii games, the aforementioned usb loader program can rip discs. It's literally as easy as loading the program, putting the disc in, and pressing a button. Very simple. Just try setting up the homebrew channel first, that's the hardest part, and even that's pretty simple. PM me if you need any help with it, I've done it a couple times.
