yup. You have to have a certain brand of DVD drive. It's an LG brand, and there are a couple different models that have the capability. The different models that can do it is:

* LG-8164b
* LG-8163b
* LG-8162b
* LG-8161b

No other drive will work. You'll also need a program called RawDump 2.0 and .net framework 2.0 to do it.

Once you get your drive and get it installed and you have RawDump and .net framework 2.0, put your Wii game into the LG drive and wait for a minute for the drive to quite reading the disk. Then open RawDump. RawDump will scan the disk and if it's recognized, it will display the name of the game where it says DVD Name. At that point, just click start Dump and it will rip your game into an ISO. This takes a while, usually about 2-3 hours. When it finishes, use IMGBurn to burn the iso at the slowest speed possibly. When it's done, take it to your modded Wii and try it out.

Probably so, but that would count as piracy, and I don't think you would want the stigma that comes with that
