Dolphin Help :I

So Dolphin boots up fine, but then it comes up with the message, "Dolphin could not find any GameCube/Wii ISOs or WADs. Double click here to set a games directory...", although I have my games directory set to This PC > Downloads, where all of my ROMs are stored. At first I thought this problem was because I didn't have any .iso or .wad files (I had .torrent mostly), but downloading ISOs and WADs didn't help the problem, and neither did reinstalling Dolphin. I downloaded the games from loveroms.com and some from emuparadise. I tried troubleshooting on google, but nothing I found had the same problem that I had. Has anyone else had this same problem/can help me with this problem? {FIXED}

Download ISO,WAD,WBFS to your desktop extract them then start your Dolphin EMU

Tried it, dolphin doesnt notice it and i cant start it from finding it in the directory

They're probably not extracted properly. Check the file extension, if they're 7z or rar you'll have to extract with 7zip. You will end up with either gcm or iso files. Once the directory is set (I would just create a folder for gamecube games on your C drive) it will populate the Dolphin main screen with the games. There's absolutely no magic reason why they're not showing up, just has to be set right. Always run as administrator.


If you're still having problems post a screenshot of the game files.

thanks so much! i extracted with 7zip, created new folder, and it popped up even when i didnt run with administrator. now i can finally play pokemon colosseum and gale of darkness (legally, ofc) :bigahhh:
