A disc image in split parts will need to be joined before dolphin can read it. A simple command from command prompt and terminal can do it! Use the example command for your system. Use the "cd" command to change directory to the file's location. The example command assumes CleanRip's "GAMEID.part#.iso" filename nomenclature, and creates "GAMEID.iso". | A disc image in split parts will need to be joined before dolphin can read it.

The Wii system may also be able to rip GameCube game discs as long as [https://code.google.com/p/diosmios/ DIOS MIOS] is installed. Wiis sold after late 2011 and Wii Us lack the GameCube controller and memory card ports, and can make no use of DIOS MIOS. CleanRip is recommended over USB Loader GX for not requiring any cIOS and it does not leave out any data when ripping (USB Loader GX leaves out unused data). | ||

Download [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM GameCube/Wii Memory Manager] (GCMM for short) and launch it through Homebrew Channel on the Wii. It's a homebrew app that can transfer save files between a real GameCube Memory Card and an SD card. It can extract an individual save as '''.GCI''' file or dump the entire contents (RAW or batch dump '''.GCI''' files) from a real memory card to the root of SD card<!-- What directory actually? -->. For the purpose of this guide you should extract what you need for Dolphin onto the SD card. Then they should be placed into <var>\GC\</var> for Dolphin to use while emulating a game. It is also possible for the data that was created with Dolphin to be added back into the real GameCube Memory Card using GCMM and an SD card. | Download [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM GameCube/Wii Memory Manager] (GCMM for short) and launch it through Homebrew Channel on the Wii.
