Question

Do I have to use FAT32 or NTFS?

Milos Tosic

Community Answer

You'll need to use FAT32, as the computer is the only platform that can recognize NTFS.

Question

In an earlier comment you said you didn't need a Wii to play Wii games on Dolphin, but you need a keyboard. Why?

Community Answer

You don't need a keyboard to use a Wii; you need one to use a computer. Dolphin is a program on the computer, so you need a keyboard to control the Wii emulation.

Question

Is it possible to play games using onboard Intel graphics?

Community Answer

Yes, but it may lag some. If you try to run Wii games your computer might have a hard time, but GC games might work.

Question

How can I speed up WWE 13 on Dolphin Emulator 4.0?

Community Answer

I'm not sure if it's the same for dolphin 4.0, but here's how to do it on 5.0: hit config, in the window that pops up it should say speed limit (100% by default), adjust to the desired game speed.

Question

Can I run it without having a Wii?

Community Answer

Yes, you can but you do need a Wii to get the game files. You need a keyboard to play the games on your computer.

When I put the SD card in, CleanRip doesn't show up. I even tried selecting Front SD card on the options menu but nothing happened. What can I do to get it to work?

Try placing the directory in the "apps" folder on your SD card (or USB stick).

Question

Is homebrewing legal? Will my internet provider see it as copyright infringement?

Community Answer

Homebrewing your Wii, in itself, is legal. The illegal part is piracy. Plus, you only need internet to download Homebrew and Homebrew apps, so your provider won't know what you use these for. If you are concerned, use a VPN when you download Homebrew and Homebrew apps. Your ISP won't know you did anything if you use a VPN.

Question

Can you play Wii or Gamecube games on Android?

Community Answer

Dolphin is available for Android but the game will not run properly. It is recommended to use a new generation phone for Dolphin.
