isos and rom sites that have Nintendo roms or isos are closed. so how do i get roms? do i have to buy a game? if i do then it would be impossible  because my computer doesn't do CD roms.

FAQ Wrote: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.

We have a guide on the process here - https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/ripping-games/
