NKit Processing App
NKit is a Nintendo ToolKit that can Recover and Preserve Wii and GameCube disc images.
- Practically speaking you will only need this app if you encounter an "NKit.iso" or "NKit.gcz" game backup, which are not supported by WBM or GCBM.
- Usually these files have NKit in their names, but if WBM or GCBM cannot handle a backup it may be an unlabelled NKit backup.
- How to use the NKit Processing App to convert NKit backups to ISO
- Drag and drop source file(s) onto the NKit Processing App window.
- Select "Convert to ISO" Mode.
- Click "Process".
- When finished, the converted game will be saved to: ..\NKit\Processed\Wii_MatchFail\
- Click here for a short video tutorial.
- After converting from NKit to ISO, backups can be handled by WBM and GCBM like normal.
How to Backup Original Discs
Ripping original Wii discs cannot be done on a computer without one of the rare disc drives that are capable of doing so (most are LG branded).
