Questions about Dolphin

[gnrfan228]

Hello, I am new here and have one question.

I am getting a Wii soon, but wanted to start buying some games in preparation. So I purchased Tales of Symphonia from a local gamestop. Can I emulate it with dolphin just by putting it in the dvd drive?

Also. Is there any way to save settings so that I don't have to reconfigure my controller and graphics settings every time I start Dolphin?

Thank you.

unless you have an LG Drive you will have to dump the game from an actual wii.
Dolphin automatically saves your settings
