I have a gamecube ISO file and Dolphin Emulator, the problem is that I can't seem to run it... I think I need to extract the ISO to whatever the file is needed, but PowerISO and WinRAR dont work... It would be great if someone could direct me to a program that would work.
if you need to extract a GC iso file, use a tool called GC-Tool, it let's you do many things, you should try it. it even tells you the region/format of the iso source. just google it and you'll find it whenever a gamecube iso has an iso extension instead of gcm, just rename it to gcm or the tool won't open it.
The fact is Dolphin the emulator and your PC are not powerfull enough to emulate GameCube games.The last time I checked in the readme of the program the emulator requires atleast Radeon 9500 cards and up.The other thing is that Dolphin is really buggy meaning alot games will not play past the menu screen.I mean it just buy a GameCube they are really cheap now and emulating doesn't even compare to the real system.
definitely, emulation is always at least a step ahead from the original system, i don't dare to emulate anything more recent than PSX or N64
