See [[Ripping Games]] to learn how to rip games and saves to your new Dolphin set up. For complete Wii NAND dump to use on Dolphin, see [[NAND Usage Guide]]. The homebrew apps are freely available over the internet and can be added to the game list at any time. | |||

You can simply launch a compatible file by hitting File > '''Open...''' then open a file. To add a game to the game list, select Files > '''Browse for ISOs...''' then select a folder to be added to the game list. | |||
Banners for Wii games will not load at first. Making a save file for that game fixes it. This is a limitation with the format of Wii games rather than a bug. | |||
