Can a computer read Gamecube disks? - GrumpySanta - 09-11-2014
Hohoho,
I wanna play the Resident Evil 1 Remake but its only out for gamecube. Thats why I found Dolphin. The Game costs 10 € on Amazon so I wanna buy it.
My question is, could I just use the CD of a gamescube on my pc or do I need and .ISO? And if I need one, is there a legit way to get it?
Thanks for answers!

you'd need to dump the game via a GameCube, Wii, or special DVD drives that can run special programs to dump games on PC.

As JMC47 said, you must buy a special DVD drive and use special software to copy the disc with a PC. The drives are pretty cheap on eBay.

It might be cheaper to buy a used Wii, use cleanrip, and then sell the Wii again once you've verified that the dump is good if you're only doing one game.

I bought one of the supported drives from Amazon and they sent me a different model. When I contacted them about it they told me "The Drive we sent you should be a compatible replacement" and while I'm sure it would work fine as a generic drive replacement for IDE MOBO's it did not dump wii games.
So just a warning if your planning on buying one of those.

Tell the person you bought it from that you were trying to buy that drive for a specific reason and the replacement doesn't fit that specific reason.

I did I got a refund but they didn't have the one I wanted.

Yea, I can rip wii games with my wiiU but I can't get any of my Gamecube ones.

Did you try the trick to get the WiiU to read GC games?
Can you get one of the other drives from someone else?
