And I always enjoy reading their thorough progress reports.&lt;p&gt;I still have my old Wii laying around, with all my old Wii and GameCube games. I followed the dumping guide on dolphin’s site (and a wii hacking guide) and it was shockingly simple.  
I successfully dumped my entire Wii and GameCube library. And even backed up the Wii onboard memory to dolphin on my PC. And even got dumps of my GameCube memory cards. Dolphin now &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; matches my physical wii, including the complete home menu and all game saves.&lt;p&gt;I was surprised that all of this was possible. I click a button in dolphin and it’s &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; the same as my wii. All the Miis are there, all of the channels. Main difference is that I can swap disks with a click. I was shocked at how simple doing all of this was. The hardest part was just swapping disks and coming back every 15 minutes to swap another disk.&lt;p&gt;I didn’t really play these games anymore on the wii, and I don’t play them in dolphin now either, but it does give me comfort that I could go back and keep playing if my Wii finally bites the dust. I can connect my  original Wiimotes via Bluetooth too. It’s really impressive what the dolphin team has done. It’s &lt;i&gt;identical&lt;/i&gt; to my console. I could plug my pc into the TV and set the resolution lower and you probably couldn’t tell the difference.</text></comment>

Explain the issue, what the developer did to solve it, and what is now enabled. Probably the best I’ve ever read and I’ve not used dolphin  in a decade, but I still read each one.</text></comment>
