Below are things you will need to run game smoothly in 720p and AA enabled.

- 3.0 Ghz or higher dual core CPU (only uses 2 cores)
- 2 GB or higher of ram
- GTX 260, 4850 or higher
- iso file of the wii/gamecube title you want to play
- latest Emulator build you can find

How to make a Wii or Gamecube iso?

Download Rawdump 2.1 and insert your Game DVD into your DVD Drive. Press "Start Dump". This may take a while. The game will be saved as a .wii or .wod file. After the dump has finished, press "Convert raw to .iso" and you are done. Open the .iso file with Dolphin and have fun.

doesn't that only work with a small number of DVD drives which are no longer in production?

I wouldn't say a small amount but there are some trouble games. Anything dual layer pretty much is screwed...

Most people don't bother with these as softmodded Wii's themselves can dump games on to USB hard drive which can move them to comp. But it should still work...
