No, Dolphin cannot directly use Wii discs as it is an emulator designed to play Wii and GameCube games from files obtained from the discs. To play a game, you'll need to create a backup of your Wii disc as an ISO file or a WBFS file for smaller size. This process requires a PC with a disc drive that can read Wii games or a real Wii console to transfer the games.
