# Dumping Original Wii Discs
|
|
---
|
|
Dumping your Discs allows you to: play them on a Wii emulator (namely Dolphin), play them using a USB/SD Card loader such as Wiiflow, make Virtual Console injects that can be installed on a Wii U formatted USB drive or the NAND and launched from the Wii U Menu.
|
|
|
|
?> Dumping Wii games require a working Homebrew setup on vWii, so make sure to finish the [vWii Modding guide](vwii/vwii-modding) beforehand.
|
|
|
|

|
|
1. The [wii.dat](https://github.com/emukidid/cleanrip/releases/download/2.1.1/wii.dat) file
|
|

### Instructions

|
|
1. Select No on the screen that asks you to download redump.org DAT files
|
|

1. Go [on this page](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Category:Dual_Layer_Disc_games) to see if your disc is dual-layered
|
|
1. Set everything to match the following:
|
|
- Dual Layer `Yes/No` (Select `Yes` if your game's disc is dual-layered)

### Joining Split Files
|
|
|
|
?> If you dumped the disc on a FAT32 formatted, device, you should've got at least 2 files that end with `.partX.iso`. They need to be joined up.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy all the files that share the same name and end with `.partX.iso` in a folder on your computer
|
|
1. Open up a Command Prompt window
|
|
1. Use the `cd <path>` command and replace `<path>` by the path to your `.partX.iso` files
|
|
1. Use the following command as is: `copy /b *.part?.iso game.iso` |
