I recently came back from holiday, [middle east], and got my PAL Wii chipped there.
I don't know what chip is in it, and I don't plan on opening it up to check either.

From the same place I got it chipped, I bought some games from there, they were around $6 each.

Super Paper Mario applied an update, and I didn't even think of it bricking the Wii..I also got several other games, including Mario Galaxy.
Since coming back, I haven't played any other games that I got, as I don't know what region the games are, or if theyve been brick-blocked/RegionFrii'd/whatever.

Is there a way to scan the discs and find out what region they are? Or might I may as well just download the games instead?
I know you need one of the 4 LG drives to rip them, but can you just scan them instead?

Also, what about one of these drives, are they ok to Rip games also?
# Hitachi LG GDR-H10NBLK (SATA)
# Hitachi LG GDR-8082N - USB SLIM Portable Drive
And can the 816xb drives burn games also, or only for ripping?

Thanks!!!

The 816xb drives are dvd readers only. The new rawdump 2.1 is supposed to work with usb drives.
