Hi! i have quite a good computer to run dolphin, i also have a wii and some games. and i was wondering since dolphin only runs isos, if do i need to create the isos with any specific settings and whats the best app for that.

I use UltraISO. Alcohol 120% is brilliant as well.

I personally use my Wii to rip the ISOs.
USB loader GX lets you install the games from disc to a USB drive, formatted in WBFS.
Then WBFS manager for Windows lets you extract from the USB, for use with Dolphin.

As for Gamecube, I use a Wii homebrew called WiiDump 1.5, it can dump to the SD slot or a normal USB Drive. Takes me about 100 minutes to dump a GC game to USB.

yes, i dont have an harddrive for the wii at the moment, so i might try the alchool to create the isos....

You need an LG drive to read them on your PC. You don't need a drive, you can dump wii games to SD card (in several pieces) or wirelessly to your PC

It's a little more complicated than that.
There's USB Loader GX, but you also have to have the Homebrew Channel installed, and you have to install custom IOS.

Oh, you can also install HackMii whilst you install the Homebrew channel, and use that to dump your NAND for Dolphin.

Yeah, sorry I confused this with another thread where I had already explained that
