A Question for a Newb...

Ok, before we get started i want to make it clear, that i DO own a Gamecube, and any games i ask about here i own......
now that thats over and done with,

From what ive read so far, the only way to play a game on Dolphin is to download the ISO off the net, is that true??? (don't worry, i won't ask where to get them, like the post says, google is my friend....)

There are tools for dumping the data from gamecube discs. I'm not going to link to them, as they are of dubious legality.

Is that using a DVD-ROM, or the GC's BBA???? i have seen some about the BBA, and tried puting it into my DVD ROM, but it locks up my comp....

Or is there a way to just put the game in the DVD-ROM and play it like that??

To make your own iso's you have to use a BBA and PSO.

Normal dvd drives on the pc can't read the mini dvd's.

Not now, not in the future (unless a new drive comes out that can read them... very, very unlikely)

...and with the help of a certain game you may do it.

Only 2 ways:
1)Rip your own GC games
2)Download games from the net
