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/system menu is running with "Change Disc", located in File -> Change Disc or by right-clicking a game in the game list.

Due to how Dolphin works, Dolphin only recognizes the first thing loaded as the game that is being played. For example, if you load [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] from the Game List, and use the home menu to go to the Wii System Menu, then change disc and load [[Xenoblade Chronicles]], the game settings from the GameINI, cheats, and even any savestates you make will be for Brawl and not Xenoblade. There is no solution at this time.

=== 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).  

=== <s>Hang on Loading Disc</s> ===

Previous versions of Dolphin gave an error when attempted to load a game with the disc channel. Now that it better emulates Wii Menu functions, the emulated Disc Channel is able to read the discs, and will even try to launch the game, but it will hang, stuck on a black screen unable to load the game. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-1953}}.
