Yes, it's possible. No more need for Wiiscrubber or a replacement.

You need:
* All of SMG's files extracted in a folder
* SMG's DOL (main.dol) in that same folder
* an apploader. Typically you're going to take SMG's, but all the apploaders are the same anyway

Dolphin needs some setup though.

Open Dolphin's config and go to the Paths tab. Set the DVD root path to the folder that contains your SMG files, and set the apploader path to your apploader file.

Now, for Dolphin to see your game's save data, there's an extra step needed. You can skip it alltogether if you don't have save data.

Open Dolphin's 'User' folder. Go into 'Wii' then 'title' then '00010000'. You need to know your game's ID. Here are a few known IDs:

Game	ID
SMG1 PAL	RMGP
SMG1 NTSC	RMGE
SMG2 PAL	SB4P
SMG2 NTSC	SB4E

Once you got your ID, convert it to hex, with a tool like this: http://www.dolcevie.com/js/converter.html
The hex ID is the result, with the four numbers stuck together. For example, for SMG1 PAL the hex ID would be: 524d4750

In the '00010000' folder, find a folder whose name is the hex ID of your game. Copy that folder.

Go back to the 'title' folder. Create a folder named 'ffffffff' (if it already exists, rename it or delete it). Inside that folder, paste the folder you previously copied, and rename it to 'ffffffff'.


You can then load the game's main.dol and Dolphin will run the game as if it was running from an ISO.


There are a few problems though:
* lack of flexibility: you would have to change the DVD root if you want to switch between SMG1 and SMG2 (and/or other games) -- you pretty much need to have one Dolphin copy for each game you want to hack
* SMGExtractor doesn't dump the apploader, so you can't use it alone to get your game's files looking at SMGExtractor's code, it should dump the apploader
* If any of the game's files has been opened in Whitehole, you will need to completely close Whitehole, or Dolphin will fail to access the concerned files, causing the game to crash. This is inconvenient. We'll try to find a fix...

It took me to look closer into Dolphin's game loading code I guess. Which happened when I started thinking about making Dolphin parse Riivo patches.

Yes, since Dolphin basically builds the FST from the folder

As for Riivo memory patches, well, I guess we can just code something to insert them into a .dol

Of course.

As I said, you'd have to change the DVD root between each game, though.

So I finally found out how to get Dolphin to load saves when running the game from a directory. Added those instructions to the first post.

Actually SMGExtractor doesn't extract the .dol or the apploader. This is planned for the next release though.

As for what the apploader is, well... it does what its name says, it loads your game. It is run before the game itself and initializes certain stuff.

I should also mention that all the games come with the same apploader, so it doesn't matter where you get it from as long as it's a Wii game
