[Answered] Trouble reading files off dolphin?

[Sandoreos]

Hello!

Hope everyone is having a good time around the holidays. I recently started emulation on dolphin with a recently acquired Hyperspin Drive, while I'm having a grand ol' time with it, there is something I cannot figure out and I'd like some help if there someone who may be able to help me.

I have a singular ".Wbf1" file, I've read countless times on the internet that I have to merge files to complete the game and then I can run it... but I only have 1 file for the games I want to play.

I've tried copying the file and renaming it to the format ".WBFS" which did read on Dolphin but gave me a question that the game is an invalid GCM/ISO file, or is not a GC/Wii ISO. I agreed with the program and pressed "Ok" and it spits out an error "Failed to intl core"  (Apparently it does the same thing even without renaming the file) so I'm kind of stumped on what to do.

If there is nothing I can do then I guess that's my answer. I'd really like to get it working because as much as I'd like to bust out my old wii that's buried 20 feet deep in the garage with the games I want to play, I'd rather use my new computer with emulation just to play it.

If there is something of what I said is not appropriate for this forum, please let me know as I am quite new to emulation and not very smart.

 

Edit: I've been told that there is absolutely no way for me to play these games without the other half the files. I'd like to delete this thread/post but I'm unsure how to.
