;Emulators:;[[Dolphin]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://dolphin-emu.org/compat/ compatibility]) ([https://wiimmfi.de/stat?m=25 servers])</small>: The only option for Wii emulation. This is probably due to the project going open-source, allowing more developers to pursue it early in the console's lifespan. It's updated on a near-daily basis and is very compatible, barring some noticeable issues with GameCube games. In addition, it is recommended to sync a Wii remote to play games, mainly because it can be difficult mapping the motion controls to a controller.

===ConnectivityWii Optical Disc===The Wii Optical Disc (RVL-006) is the physical game medium for the Wii, created by Panasonic. Nintendo extended its proprietary technology to use a full size 12 cm, 4.7/8.54 GB DVD-based disc, retaining the benefits of the GameCube Game Disc, and adding the standard capacity of a double-layer DVD-ROM. Wii Discs always include a partition with files to update the Wii system software, which are installed before starting the game if needed. This ensures that systems that cannot connect to the Internet are still updated. For the same reasons as the GameCube, the Wii cannot play DVD-Videos or CDs. However, earlier Wiis can play DVD-Video using [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] such as WiiMC.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs#Wii_Optical_Disc]

====Wi-Fi Connection===={{main*Dolphin has support for Wii Optical Disc dumps/[[Save_disk_space_for_ISOs#GameCube_.2F_Wii|Dolphin Online}}This was the first Nintendo console images]]. But unfortunately most regular optical drives for PCs are unable to read Gamecube & Wii discs, so you need to make online rip your discs. However you can use some out-of-print models of DVD drives which may read GC and Wii discs but even then you'll need a standard featurecompatible software tool to dump it. See [[Ripping_games]] page for more information. The service was discontinued on May 20, 2014Other than that, there is no support for DVD-Video if you plan to use Dolphin with WiiMC [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] software for most gamesDVD-Video.<ref>http*Virtual Wii has support for Wii Optical Disc ([https://wwwyoutu.nintendobe/4iaq_mKn7mE demonstration]).

Custom servers for some of the more popular games exist thanks to the [https://wiimmfi.de Wiimmfi] or [https://github.com/barronwaffles/dwc_network_server_emulator/wiki AltWFC/DWC] projects. However, some popular servers ban emulator users who drop frames since it can give some unfair competitive advantages.
