Never played it before, but always wanted to. If I can manage to get Dolphin working, I'll definitely give it a try. :3

do you have the specs to run it? the setup is pretty easy as far as emulators go, if you can run it.
I am asking because cpu-z tag in your sig lists a mobile processor? (qm) and notebooks usually have integrated gpus (which probably won't run it well) so didn't know if you had a gaming laptop or a desktop also.

lol bro, this laptop has a quad core 3.1 GHz w/ Hyperthreading CPU and 16 GB of Dual Channel RAM with a 2GB dedicated + 2GB shared VRAM giving me a total of 4GB of VRAM (Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M). This computer runs EVERYTHING. Running Dolphin in terms of hardware, simple. Running Dolphin in terms of getting it to actually play a game or run from disc since my Disc drive seems to be unable to read GCN discs for some reason, that's the pain. >.>'

so why not store it in iso/gcm format, and have dolphin read the HDD file, not a disc? you could even burn the files to a dvd, keeping the format, putting multiple .gcms on one disc instead of a 1:1 iso burn, if HDD space is a factor.

Because I haven't downloaded any ISOs, I was just trying to run Resident Evil from Disc, and it didn't work so I got frustrated and quit... Eventually I will get around to fixing it, but until I stop being angry at it, that's not going to happen. :p

Yea, I'm not a fan of the Wii to be honest. I only care for Wii sports. :p
