Disc Channel

This channel allows the user to launch Wii or GameCube games from the disc drive of the Wii.

There are two methods to "insert" a disc. To set the Default ISO, you can either right click a game in the Game List and select "Set as default ISO"; or you can set it in Config -> Paths -> Default ISO. Alternatively, you can insert a disc while a game/Wii menu is running with "Change Disc", located in File -> Change Disc or by right-clicking a game in the game list.

Persistent Game Settings (GameINI) on Next Game Load
Because of the state of Dolphin's current config system, GameINI will not reload on next game load. This will be solved in the future with the new config system.

Cheats, Savestates Not Working
Dolphin only recognizes the first thing loaded as the game that is being played. For example, if Super Smash Bros. Brawl is loaded from the Game List, and use the home menu to go to the Wii Menu, then change disc and load Xenoblade Chronicles, the game cheats, and even any savestates made will be for Brawl and not Xenoblade.

Fixed in, which introduces proper title tracking. Savestates, screenshots, cheats, custom textures, etc. should all work.

GameCube Games Do Not Load
Disc Channel can recognize GameCube games but launching them with the Disc Channel is not possible at this time due to the complexities of the Starlet coprocessor and the Wii's GameCube Mode (MIOS). Fixed in.
