Why won't Dolphin read any of the roms i download? Need help please!

[Gbeast24]

I downloaded Dolphin for windows 32-bit and no matter from where i download the games i want to play it will not load them. Are the files supposed to be .iso, .rar or .gcn? It seems as though no matter which one i download none of them load. I really wanna play some games! PLEASE HELP! (im kinda new to the emulators)

No it wont read rar gut iso and gcn are disc images and should work. Downloading off the net does not promise its a working image. When you run the game do you get a screen, is it black, does it have any text?

Most the game files out there do not completely unzip to the .GCM format Sometimes you will end up with a large .iso or .rar file, etc. The standard size should be about 1.4 GB. Change the file extension to .gcm (Tools>Folder Options>View-extensions)
