Hello!
I read in a post a while ago that Dolphin can't boot (dol) files directly on Wii mode, since it defaults to GC, it's true? If yes, there's some commandline switch or option to change this? 10-10-2018, 07:21 AM
Dolphin tries to autodetect whether a DOL file is for the GC or Wii, which works in most cases, but fails for certain homebrew such as Not64 (which is Wii but gets treated as GC). There is currently no way to override it.

Unless you're using some kind of packer that compresses the program code, the detection will probably work correctly.
If you're curious about how Dolphin's detection works, here it is: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/Core/Boot/DolReader.cpp#L61-L66 10-10-2018, 10:02 PM

And well, I'm not sure... I'm with some problems related to this, my homebrew simply isn't recognized as Wii. I thought it was some problem with me, but I tried some examples from DevkitPPC and the Wii examples from there isn't recognized properly too. By now I already done a custom build to force the Wii mode, but well, it's kind of annoying xD. 10-11-2018, 05:53 AM
You can try using CustomizeMii to inject your dol file into a wad that Dolphin can boot up directly. I've used it to get Not64 to boot directly.
