GameCube ISOs can be burned on standard DVD-Rs.

If Wii Sports Resort is a retail copy, install IOS55.

If it is a backup, use a modern loader (i.e.- Configurable USB Loader, NeoGamma) to load it. For the first time (and only the first time!) running, you will need turn on alternate DOL loading, and load "player.dol" from the disc. A 3+ minute video will play, and return to the System Menu once finished. Start the game up once more, with no need for the alternate DOL.

okay thank you for your answers now, so just to be sure, it's on the disc the "Player.dol" i don't need to put this in a SD card or other ? just turn on "Alternative .dol" and select the disc and choose player.dol and it will play ? for the first time and then after that no need to do this anymore, i understood this part

i have 2 other questions for gamecube backups, can i do a multi-iso dvd to play gamecube games ? and if i can, how can i do this ?

Yes, player.dol is on the disc/ISO. No need to place things on your SD card. (Just remember Wii Sports Resort does require a Wii MotionPlus!)

It is also possible to put multiple GameCube games on a regular DVD disc. There are quite a few utilities like GCMUtility that can do this.

Good, i know that i need Wii Motion Plus to play the game, but, if i open the game without it, will the game crash or something ? i don't have this by now, but i will ASAP ..

Thank You for your big help
