You have to dump your game with Rawdump (on the PC with a special LG drive) or with your Wii (via CleanRip
And this is the legal method of getting games from old games and using them on dolphin? Similar to how you used to have to burn old CDs onto a file and then transfer them over to an ipod. Because the system of burning disks is legal so long as you do not redistribute. 
Also, this doesn't negatively affect the original disk does it?

No, it doesn't.
