Backing up games is a simple process that has many advantages
Advantages
- Save wear and tear on your discs
- Faster loading times
- Install certain ISO mods
- Play your favorite games in Dolphin
Datel
Datel discs are a special case. Datel was the only company that managed to break Nintendo's proprietary Gamecube disc format. There's not much reason to rip them, as all their releases have better Homebrew alternatives. Regardless, Cleanrip has supported them since 2019.
Cleanrip vs USB Loader
There are two options for backing up games. Cleanrip, and USB Loader. Each have their advantages. Cleanrip doesn't require any setup, and supports ripping a disc in parts in case your output device is too small. In contrast, USB Loaders only support the most common use case, but it will automatically set them up in the proper directory for using with your loader.
