  Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
  The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it’s not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump each one.
  There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it’s rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.

    Yup, those times sound about the same as what happened with me. Plus the time spent swapping SD cards, because I couldn’t get CleanRip to work with the USB drives I had at hand, only FAT32 SD cards.

    Also, at every step of the way when converting ISOs to RVZ, I ran Dolphin’s verification thing, just for paranoia I guess.

      I don’t want to be condescending. Dolphin Wiki has an article about ripping games. You have to Google it. Or something. I can’t give a link because 🎶 Nintendo has orbital lazors 🎶 /bill wurz
