# Dumping Wii Discs
|
|
---
|
|
Dumping your Discs allows you to: play them on a Wii emulator (namely Dolphin), play them using a USB/SD Card loader such as Wiiflow, make Virtual Console injects that can be installed on a Wii U formatted USB drive or the NAND and launched from the Wii U Menu.
|
|
|
|
?> Dumping Wii games requires a working homebrew setup on vWii, so make sure to finish the [vWii Modding guide](vwii-modding) beforehand.
|
|
|
|
!> It is **ILLEGAL** to share the files dumped with this guide.
|
|
If you intend to use this guide to share your dumped games, don't.
