Finally finished dumping my entire library of GameCube and Wii discs for Dolphin! - SLRPNK

Plus I cloned my Wii’s NAND so I have all of the Virtual Console games and savegames, and I also dumped all of my GameCube memory cards and put everything to the Dolphin memory cards images. Everything is cool and future-proof now!Highly recommend doing this if you have a working Wii - just install Homebrew Channel and CleanRip.

How long did it take to dump them? I want to do something similar

Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it’s not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it’s rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.

Yup, those times sound about the same as what happened with me. Plus the time spent swapping SD cards, because I couldn’t get CleanRip to work with the USB drives I had at hand, only FAT32 SD cards.

Also, at every step of the way when converting ISOs to RVZ, I ran Dolphin’s verification thing, just for paranoia I guess.
