I tried playing my Xenoblade Chronicles ISO, but i'm getting glitches which I can't find anyone else having. Is it ok if I get another Iso from a website ONLY to see if there is a problem with mine?

To clarify, I have not downloaded the iso yet. I just wanted to check.

And to clarify, downloading a game, even one you own, is against the law (copyright laws). Thus it's against the rules here

What do you mean? If it isn't stated in the forum rules? You can read the forum rules here https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Announcement-global-forum-rules that lets you know. You can also read the FAQ which specifies..

"Where can I download game ISOs/ROMs ?
Short answer: You don't. Buy games and dump them with a Wii.
Long answer: Downloading commercial games is illegal and thus strongly frowned upon by the Dolphin developers. To prevent legal issues, this includes gray areas like downloading games which you purchased earlier. You don't necessarily need to own a gaming console by yourself because you can buy a game disc and dump them with a friend's console. On the other hand, copying a friend's game dump is considered illegal again.
For dumping games with a Wii, you'll want to install the homebrew channel and run an application like CleanRip."

Also, people should be familiar with copyright laws. As the law states, "ignorance of the law isn't an excuse to break it". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorantia_juris_non_excusat
And it's a good rule of thumb, that if it's against the law, then it shouldn't be discussed here

Forum Rules Wrote:Warez/downloading games talk is prohibited and frowned upon. To prevent legal issues, you may not post links or refer to any kind of NAND, BIOS, ISO, game, or other copyrighted material that has been illegally obtained or shared. If any post like that is found, the thread containing it will be closed and further support will be revoked. Stating that you've downloaded a game will get you banned immediately, no matter if you purchased the game or not. Asking where to find or download games will get you banned immediately. Providing where to download games will get you banned immediately. You must legally dump/rip your own games, NAND, BIOS, etc.


Additionally, you can check whether your ISO is corrupt or not directly in Dolphin. For GC ISOs, there's a "Calculate MD5" option in the game properties so you can compare your hash with known good dumps from Redump.org or other sources, and for Wii ISOs there's a "Check partition integrity" if you right click a partition in the Filesystem tab, under game properties window too.

Do you have the cheats setting enabled, although you don't use any cheats? If so, can you try disabling cheats? Right now Dolphin does something a bit unexpected there, which causes issues in at least one other game.
