What game folder formats does Dolphin support? - Videogamer555 - 05-17-2019
I know it supports games played from ISOs and DOL files and ELF files, etc. What I don't know is this. Does it also support playing games from folders that hold the contents extracted from ISOs? There are 2 ISO-content dump formats. These are known as DiskEx and GCReEx, and are produced from a tool called Gamecube ISO Tool. Does Dolphin support playing from either of these formats? If it does, that would simplify testing mods. It would mean that after editing the files, I wouldn't need to pack them back into an ISO, and significantly reduce mod-production time. If it does support at least one of these formats, which one of them (or both) does it support?

Dolphin supports extracted discs, but not in either of those formats. The format that is supported can be extracted using Dolphin or using wit.
