I am using the latest Android release of the dolphin emulator app. I'm having an issue whereby I've installed and loaded up dolphin emulator and I've swiped to the wii tab and there are no games. So I click the plus icon at the bottom of the page and locate the folder on on my device which contains all my wii ROMs (extracted using zarchiver and extracted into the ISO format) and I see the ROMs in the folder after selecting the folder in the dolphin emulator app but there is no way to "accept" this as my ROM folder as the only button I can press is "Up one level". I also tried loading the ISO files (numerous games actually), but upon selecting the ISO file (also I've already check and the game is compatible as seen on the official site's compatibility page) the file browser closes out and I'm taken back to the empty Wii tab with nothing on there.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, how do I get games to load?
Thanks for the help!

UPDATE: It seems as though the latest Android release of the dolphin emulator is broken and won't detect/load any Wii/GC games on your device even if in the ISO format. I used the version prior to the latest release and the games load fine.

Oh damn, let me guess, 5.0-997 is broken and 5.0-993 is working fine? Sounds like an issue because of updating the buildbot / SDK. May you verify that the issue appears between this two versions?

Another idea: Might you try to revert the compileSdkVersion to 23? This is the most likely source of this issue.

Tips on how to compile are on https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-compiling-the-android-port and https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin#building-for-android

Hi, yes that seems to be the case at the moment, 5.0-993 works fine while 5.0-997 doesn't.

I tried this, and there was no apparent difference. The phone UI still couldn't display anything in the game list.
