Mac is not reading Wii Disc

[richiemellow]

Hi,

I installed Dolphin v4.0 in my Mac in hopes to substitute my Wii (burned motherboard). When I insert the disc in the DVD/CD unit the system won't recognize it. Therefore, I cannot open the game from the emulator.

I have done the normal steps to install any app since I browsed for instructions on how to install it but did not find any for Mac.

Am I missing something?
Any help file I can use?
Do you know if it is because I recently updated to Yosemite?

I am clueless.

Only certain cd/dvd drives support reading wii discs unfortunatly, theres a list of supported drives somewhere on the forum but right now I can't remember where it is.

Its got nothing to do with software, more to do with hardware (and also firmware of supported hardware).

So you might be out of luck if your disc drive isn't on the list.

Heres the list I previously mentioned (just found it): https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-howto-dump-wii-or-gamecube-games-with-pc-no-wii-needed

You'd need the dumper mention within too.

Yeah, continuing from what Dan said, you either need that special drive, or get a replacement motherboard for your wii and dump the games on there. You can get a cheap wii board from eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=270977884549

Or just install the homebrew channel and use cleanrip like 99% of people do.
