Does GeckoDVD not work with the new GeckoOS 1.07b? Or is it just me?

Well, the subject says it all. I'd like to rip games now that I have (finally) figured how to install Backup Launcher with 3.4.

Any help would be appreciated.  :D

Who said it was piracy? I want to backup my LoZ: TP CD cause it's starting to get scratched pretty bad.

Making back-ups may not be Piracy per-say, but the whole concept of making copies of games, and possibly distributing them according to Nintendo, is one of the biggest reasons why Homebrew is getting killed.

And you can quote me on that.

You may be completely honest about making copies only for yourself, but we don't know that, let alone a money hungry video game industry such as Nintendo. So, anything related to Pirated games (including simple back up copies) is a "no-go" for me. I don't support it.

I'm just stating my opinion, so I hope that you don't feel offended. Ok? Okay.

2. NO PIRACY talk. Talking about modchips in general.. is fine.. where to get them.. or how to back up your own games... no problem! However, where to obtain your piracy. Is not! Where to obtain your VC or WiiWare games. Search somewhere else.

What the hell are you talking about? I never asked for a link, or where to get anything in my OP.

Guys, you're overreacting.  JetlagJad didn't say he wanted help with the Backup Launcher, he said he wanted help ripping his own games, and mentioned the (irrelevant) fact that he wanted to use his backups with the Backup Launcher.  Ripping games is even officially supported on USBGecko.com.  He didn't ask for help playing burned games.  Discussion of ripping games is fine here; it's been talked about many times, and Link says it's fine.

And if you're going to talk about what Nintendo likes or dislikes, you should know that Nintendo strongly dislikes playing imported games, and they consider that illegal as well.  So don't cite Nintendo as a "reliable" source on that, unless you're also prepared to yell at people who discuss imports.

JetlagJad: I haven't ripped any games myself with USB Gecko (yet), but if you're in Wii mode (which you are), you'll need a cIOS installed, if I recall correctly.  Take a look here: http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?topic=150.0
