Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi I've managed to extract my nand through BootMii and followed the steps to extract my nand for Dolphin basically following this (https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/nand-usage-guide/). However, I loaded Dolphin and it gave the Wii loading screen (black with silver channels) fading to black on endless loop.
I thought next I needed the Wii System Menu added so I followed this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsqTChRnXjc). I followed it to a tee, but unfortunately I got the same result as above.
What should be my next option? Should I remove all the Wii files in Dolphin and start fresh? Is there something I might have missed? Much help appreciated!

Did you know that some games bring the Wii System Menu files? (For instance, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart Wii bring them within the game´s content). All you have to do is to go to any of these game´s properties, then look for the game´s files in there (I think they are in the game´s properties last tab).

After you find the System Menu folder, right click it and select "Extract folder", and choose where you want it to be dumped.

Considering that a NAND dump from a real Wii would inevitably contain the system menu, I don't think extracting it again from another source would be helpful.

If you followed the guide properly, e.g. you extracted the unencrypted contents of your NAND dump and threw them in the Wii folder, it not working would probably be either a Dolphin bug or an incorrectly-set Wii NAND root (Config > Paths).

Thanks, I actually reinstalled my computer and it worked now.

you reinstalled your computer...?
