I downloaded the file for GameCube and Wii burned the dol file for each on a dvdr disc but neither will load in either game system, nor do they even see the discs. What did I do wrong?

Hello, the dol files are executables that run as homebrew. You run them from Swiss or the home brew channel.

How do you boot homebrew in your system?

Thank you so much for the reply. I'm not that familiar with these gaming systems. I just assumed all I had to do was download and burn the disc. I didn't see anything on either machine's menus regarding Homebrew. Do you know where I could find a step-by-step guide to properly installing your software either for the GameCube or Wii. All of the texts I've read were very vague in their descriptions.

Wii would be the easiest:

For gc you'd need extra hardware

Thanks so much for the link. Is it better to use the SD card over the dvd/cd disc? Also, off subject, do you know if the GameCube controller works with the Wii? Mine doesn't seem to work. I wouldn't want to buy one if my GC is supposed to work.

You can't use the dvd/cd since it has protection.
Yes, the GC controller works with the wii, but only in supported software, it won't work on thewii menu
