Step 4: Choose Your Path

Choose:

Goto Step 5 If you want to do a Network Dump, which goes at speeds dpending on the network taking a decent 4 hours for a single layer game (most of them are SIngle Layer), and could lose connection, and you could be almost done and you get an error, and the whole thing turns out to be a waste of time.

Requirements:

Wii and Computer both connected to the internet in the same house

Goto Step 6 If you want to do a Local Dump, (Over SD Card or USB Stick) which goes pretty fast, taking a shorter time.

Requirements:

SD Card or USB Stick that can hold 4.37GB.

Step 5: Go on your computer and open an Internet Browser.

Step 6: At the top, type in your Wii's IP address, and hit Enter

Step 7: The page should have 2 links: Download ????.iso and Restart Wii
