Ripping games for Dolphin emulator
To play games on Dolphin emulator, you need to have the game data in a file format that the emulator can read. This file format is called a ROM or ISO file. A ROM or ISO file is a copy of the game data from the original disc.
You can obtain ROM or ISO files from various sources online, but this is illegal and may expose you to viruses and malware. The best way to get ROM or ISO files is to rip them from your own GameCube or Wii discs using a disc drive on your PC.
To rip games from your GameCube or Wii discs, you need a disc drive that can read these discs. Not all disc drives can do this, so you need to check if yours is compatible. You can find a list of compatible disc One of the compatible disc drives for GameCube and Wii discs is the LG GDR-H10N with firmware 0B10. This is a SATA DVD drive that can read GameCube and Wii discs using a software called RawDump. However, this method is very slow and may take hours to dump a single disc. It also does not work with dual-layer discs, such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Metroid Prime Trilogy.
A better alternative is to use a Wii or vWii console with the Homebrew Channel installed and a software called CleanRip. This method is faster, more reliable, and supports dual-layer discs. You will need an SD card or a USB drive with enough space to store the disc image. You will also need to connect your Wii or vWii to the internet to download a file called redump.org.dat, which is used to verify the integrity of the disc image.
To rip games from your GameCube or Wii discs using CleanRip, follow these steps:
Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii or vWii console.
Launch the Homebrew Channel and select CleanRip from the list of applications.
At the CleanRip Setup screen, choose the device where you want to save the disc image. You can also change other settings, such as chunk size, dual layer mode, and redump.org.dat download.
Press A to start ripping. Insert the disc that you want to copy when prompted.
Wait for the ripping process to finish. Depending on the size and type of the disc, this may take from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
When done, press A to exit CleanRip. You can now eject your SD card or USB drive from your Wii or vWii console.
You should now have a file with the extension .iso or .gcm on your SD card or USB drive. This is the disc image that you can use in Dolphin emulator. If the file is larger than 4 GB, it may be split into multiple parts. To join them together, you can use a simple command from command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux) as explained in [this guide](^5^).

One of the advantages of Dolphin emulator is that it supports all kinds of PC controllers, including keyboards, mice, gamepads, joysticks, steering wheels, etc. You can configure any controller to emulate a GameCube or Wii controller in Dolphin emulator.
