The Wii is a console created by Nintendo in 2006. It is one of the top five best-selling game consoles in history, and it shares many traits in its file system to Nintendo's previous console, the GameCube.

Ripping Tools

The Wii uses DVD-based technology, which generally would mean that files are visible from a disk through any standard ISO viewer or by inserting the DVD into your computer's disk drive. However, Nintendo specifically designed their disk drives to read files in a unique manner, making the reading on Wii game's disks require a special piece of software. There are a number of tools available.

Dolphin

It's possible to read the files from a Wii ISO through the Wii/GameCube emulator, Dolphin.
