Plus I cloned my Wii's NAND so I have all of the Virtual Console games and savegames, and I also dumped all of my GameCube memory cards and put everything to the Dolphin memory cards images.
Everything is cool and future-proof now!Highly recommend doing this if you have a working Wii - just install Homebrew Channel and CleanRip.
congrats! I did a similar thing a few years back. I dumped disks and was playing everything off a hard drive attached to the Wii before the disk drive died. I then dumped my NAND and GameCube cards when the video card in the Wii started to die (low signal/dim display). Moved it all to dolphin emu with dolphin bar, real wiimotes, and mayflash GC adapter for real GC controllers.
