What tool did you use to dump the game?
What type of file is it?

I don't use imgburn. I don't have an optical drive that can read gc/wii games.

You need an LG drive, or softmodded wii to dump the game properly (wii games are read backwards of normal DVDs)

Your drive could be going bad and making faulty iso dump. Like khrz said only some older LG and pioneer drives can run & rip gc/wii games for dolphin. I currently use lg-8162b which cost 5 bucks on ebay and it works like a charm.
There is a list of compatible drives here. It also shows which ones will have errors or not rip.

do people still believe this nonsense? Wii games aren't read backwards - they are just protected well.
