Rip on HDD from Wii

Ok I'm new to this but I'm using HBC to launch my game I have ATM using my USB Stick. But when you rip a game to the USB (HDD or Usb stick) is it alraidy Compressed or its full DVD size ?

If I rip my game and its compressed, how do I uncompresse my rip to burn it again on a DVD ?

If you use a USB Loader to rip the game, it will be compressed (scrubbed). But when you take it to your computer and use WBFS Manager to move it to your computer from the USB stick (or HDD), it will then be uncompressed (4.37 GB). There is another WBFS app called ncWBFStool v1.0 that will let you transfer the ISO onto your computer and the ISO will stay compressed, check the link.

If you want to burn the ISO, transfer it to your computer with WBFS Manager 3.0. Then use IMGburn (install it if you don't have it) to burn the ISO. All you have to do, once IMGburn is installed is, right click on the ISO and select "burn with IMGburn", that will launch IMGburn. If your new at this, don't worry if the ISO looks like a rar folder, and don't try to unzip it because it will not unzip.

EDIT - also, some USB Loaders have the option to remove the disc update while ripping the image to HDD, you may want to see if your loader is able to do this.

No limit as far as I know, unless you use one of the early versions of waninkoko's sd/usb loader. Just about all the current USB Loaders are based from waninkoko's USB Loader 1.5. USB Loader GX is popular around this forum, but I use Configurable USB Loader, and I see that WiiFlow has a few users. Just make the WBFS partition the primary partition if you are going to create a multi partition HDD.
