InfinityFox Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I started watching the Wii and GameCube YouTube video and have so far added a small collection of Wii roms in the .wbfs format. Now I want to add GameCube but the roms are in the 7z format. I see that Dolphin will not run 7z files. So I will need to select the tick box I assume for Launchbox to decompress the archives. Now I just wanted some clarity with a few things... When I setup the emulator for the Wii platform I selected various things and then went ahead and imported the files. Now that I'm adding GameCube files and using the same emulator will any changes I make during the importing process to the GameCube platform change what I originally selected during my Wii import eg by selecting the decompressing of archived files within Launch Box to deal with the Gamcube roms in 7z. I hope you can follow what I'm getting at? Essentially, I'm wondering if I need to have another dolphin folder for my GameCube platform?

DOS76 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 If you Wii games are not in 7z or any other archive then it won't matter if the box is checked or not it will work for unpacking the GC games but open the Wii games as normal. If you ever need separate settings for any emulator it is easily done by just adding a 2nd instance of the emulator with a small naming variation and the settings you need that are different from the 1st there usually isn't any need to make a new folder or have two actual copies of the program.
