* Dolphin has support for Wii Optical Disc dumps/[[Save disk space for ISOs#GameCube .2F Wii|images]]. Most regular optical drives for PCs are unable to read GameCube & Wii discs. However, you can use some out-of-print models of DVD drives that may read GC and Wii discs but they are rare and primarily used for dumping the game data into an disc image file, and you need a compatible software tool to dump it.
