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


This channel allows the user to launch games from the disk drive of the Wii. They may be either Wii games or GameCube games. Ideally, this channel in Dolphin would allow for the launch of the default ISO currently selected in Config => Paths.

Wiimote stop working after launching ISO or returning to Disc Channel from a game. The workaround is using "Reconnect Wiimote" function every time that you launch a ISO or return to Wii menu, but it will only work in Dolphin {{revision|6202}} or newer.

Dolphin doesn't fully emulate the Device_ES function, so GameCube ISOs are unknown for Disc Channel:
