Using actual wii disc as an ISO - tino153 - 12-02-2009
I have downloaded Dolphin and the build which works best for my pc, I was wondering, instead of downloading an ISO for a wii game, could I just use the actual wii discs that I have? I heard of people doing this but I don't know how to get Dolphin to recognize the wii disc, or how to extract the files from the wii disc. Anyone know how to help? Thanks.

In Dolphin menu , File - Boot from a DVD Drive and choose the drive you put the disc in .

Ok, I put Zelda TP Wii disc into my DVD drive, I'm in Dolphin, but under file there is no option to 'Boot from" I try to open up DVD drive from my computer but it doesn't recognize a wii disc.
I'm talking about using the actual Nintendo Wii hard copy disc, not a dvd with ISO burned into it.
