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.
This channel allows the user to launch [[Wii]] or [[GameCube]] games from the disc drive of the Wii.
 
== Emulation Information ==
=== "Insert" a Disc with ISO ===
You can "insert" (or change) a disc with File > '''Change Disc''' or by right-clicking a game in the game list and change to it. For disc to be inserted on startup, right-click a game in the game list and select '''Set as default ISO''' (or set it in Config > Paths > '''Default ISO''').


== Problems ==
== Problems ==
=== Unknown ISO ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
Launching a Wii ISO, pressing the Home button, selecting "Wii Menu" and selecting "Yes" to the "Return to Wii Menu?" dialog works correctly, provided a Wii System Menu is currently installed. Although, some revisions may give the following error if the "Use Panic Handlers" are on: "Unknown pointer 0xffffffff Continue?". However, Dolphin doesn't fully emulate the Device_ES functions, so the Disc Channel will show the message below if a GameCube ISO is set as the default ISO in Dolphin settings, or if you start the Wii Menu and use the "Change Disc" option under the File menu in Dolphin to select a Wii ISO whose region does not match the installed Wii System Menu.
 
[[File:Disc_Channel_unknown.png|200px|thumb|left|In some situations ISO files are unknown on Disc Channel]]
=== <s>Cheats, Savestates Not Working</s> ===
<!-- Shared problem with [[GameCube Main Menu#Cheats, Savestates Not Working]] and [[Wii Menu#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 {{revision|5.0-2712}}, which introduces proper title tracking. Savestates, screenshots, cheats, custom textures, etc. should all work.
 
=== <s>GameCube Games Do Not Load</s> ===
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 {{revision|5.0-2449}}.
 
=== <s>Persistent Game Settings (GameINI) on Next Game Load</s> ===
<!-- Shared problem with [[GameCube Main Menu#Persistent Game Settings (GameINI) on Next Game Load]] and [[Wii Menu#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. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-4896}}.
