If you have a homebrewed Wii console, you can use a [BootMii NAND dump ](bootmii ) instead of installing the system files with the System Update option. See [this page ](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NAND_Usage_Guide ) for more information.

##### Section II - Installing RiiConnect24

If you use a Windows version before Windows 10, you unfortunately cannot use WiiConnect24 inside Dolphin. You can use [this program ](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/.VFF-File-Downloader-for-Dolphin ) to run it instead.
