Can I play a game using the original disc?

I found my old Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 disc! Big Grin

It fits in the disc drive and everything, but can I play it using the emulator, and if so, how?

No.

You have to dump your game with Rawdump (on the PC with a special LG drive) or with your Wii (via CleanRip)

Thanks for the quick reply!
If I use that, can I play then?

Yes, once you have an iso of the disk you can run it in dolphin.

It can't be read from my disk drive.

Do you have a wii, or a friend with a wii (preferably already with the homebrew channel)?

If yes, you can dump your game with CleanRip and afer that you've got a ISO which can be started with Dolphin Wink

Just out of curiosity even if the emulator could play the game with just the disc wouldnt using an iso make it faster because the emulator can just access things faster?

btw nice sig. Smile

Yep, it would do, just like it does in PCSX2.

I was going to mention PCSX2 but I was worried I might get yelled at -.-
