Extracting Wii ISO Files For Emulation

[WildHobbits]

So I have been wanting to run some of my old Wii games in Dolphin for awhile now, but not 100% sure how to do it. Guides online are long and complicated, requiring several programs and a ton of steps. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this without all the hassle? Are there any external optical drives that can do this easily, where I just put in the game disks and then extract?

These guides are "long and complicated" for the simple reason that Wii CDs are not in a format a PC can read. And I suppose this is done on purpose 😉

Can't remember the process back when I played around with it, but it was a pain having to sync the wiimotes every time you fire it up. Just get a cheap wii and soft mod it - way easier.
