How to use our Wii ISOs
Nintendo is known for being a family-friendly company and the Nintendo Wii takes this even further. The Wii games we have available for download include a ton of multiplayer and party games. Some great examples are the classic Mario Kart Wii and the slightly more mature Super Smash Bros Brawl. Naturally, the Wii continues the famous Zelda game series from both the N64 and GameCube with Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword.
The best way to play our Wii ISOs (a game is called an ISO when it's stored on a disc and a ROM when it's stored on a cart) is by softmodding your real Wii console. There are various procedures depending on the version of the software on your Wii. The video shows one method but you will want to check for a method specifically for your Wii version.
The Dolphin Wii emulator is amazingly stable and plays most Wii games. It's highly recommended to use a real Wii motion controller when playing via Dolphin, though.
