Help with Wii DVD dumper

I swear, I've looked everywhere trying to find help on this, and I just can't find any. And since nobody wants to answer me on the Instructables answers, I'll post it in the forums. I have a 3.2 downgraded wii (downgraded from 4.0, no thanks to my cousin), along with IOS249, and I'm trying to rip my wii games to a USB jump drive. I have tried several times, but it will NOT rip my wii games OR my gamecube games to the usb drive. It stops inconsistently, saying: ERROR, COULD NOT WRITE TO DEVICE! PRESS ANY BUTTON TO RESTART... I'm using a Sandisk Cruzer USB drive, with 16 GB of memory. What am I doing wrong? Should I reduce the split size of the ISO? Or am I using the wrong USB drive? Did Waninkoko even TEST the usb dumper before releasing it? I really need help, so If anybody could help, I would be very grateful. :)

u may have already tried this but i've been told that the USB device has to be in the 'bottom' USB port if u lay ur wii horizontally (the right port if u hold the back of the wii facing u)

Actually it needs to formatted WBFS. Try WBFS manager to format drive first.

hmmm, in that case i'm also having the same issue lol I knew it needed to be formatted in WBFS to install and run ISO's but to dump the ISO i thought it just used it a standard mass storage under FAT, i've not tried it like that as i only have the one external drive and dont fancy waiting for it to be formatted again and install all the ISO's back on it

as i thought, the USB device to dump the ISO too shud be formatted under FAT.
The DVD pieces ad guess just divide it to what will fit. i will attempt it with my 1gb usb pen and let u know

Yeah, my bad. Still I'm not sure of the advantage of dumper over using a usb loader and extracting the ISO.

yeah i've only just started playing around with a USB device and as of last night used USB Loader GX. game takes anything from 5-35mins to install to the HD depending on size of the ISO once on the USB Drive. Deffo beats the 3hours it takes with DVD Dumper.
