Hi, I'm new to this so just bear with me please. I have Dolphin running properly on my laptop. I was able to run a game that's in GCM format just fine. Recently, I obtained a Wii game that's in WBFS file format. I did not have the option of selecting the file format. That's the format the game came in. Dolphin wasn't able to play it. I did a search on some of the threads on this forum and found that WBFS is not supported by Dolphin. My question is this, what do I need to do in order to convert that game into a format that Dolphin will recognize. I know that there are different conversion programs that can convert certain file types to different ones. But like I said, I'm new to this. I don't really know where to go. Could someone please steer me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I know what to do, but I am curios about how you got this ^^

And maybe you shouldn't be judging people prematurely? I did not do anything illegal to get it. It's not a retail game. It's a 3rd party game that someone made. I just want to know if I can run it on Dolphin, because I don't even have a Wii.

Same thing I said to the guy above.

I agree
Homebrew, eh?

I gotcha.
Maybe if you state the name of the game and provide a link, nobody would be suspicious. You seem to be aware of how suspicious the forum members are around here and yet you don't provide info that would disprove it
