I have downloaded 4 different roms (Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Battle 2, Zelda WW, and Zelda TP) dolphin only recognizes TP i have the paths set up to the games but it doesnt show up. am i missing something?

Are they still compressed, they need to be in there .ISO or .GCM Format

The copy of Wind Waker I picked up from this site unpacked as a GCM file. Dolphin read it fine but it confused me a little the first time. I dunno if that could be your issue though

Dolphin WILL read .GCM files though.
Wish he wouldve given a bit more info though...

Wait for the OP to reply pointless talking about this further until there is more info

im back. they were compressed and i used bit zipper to extract them. when that didnt work i tried winrar. the twilight princess says ISO but the rest just say nothing. also the Twilight Princess looks like a disk and the rest look like folders.

look like folders or are folders???

they are just folders. i click on them and it has a bunch of stuff in it i cant read and then when i set paths to the folders with dolphin nothing shows up on the screen

Do you still have the original Archives before extracting???

GameCube games are usually in GCM or ISO so to me it sounds you have extracted too far and extracted the iso contents, most Archive extracting tools can also extract iso files
