Normally you'd fill your post's body with useful context, eg. what game you're trying to rip, what methods you've tried, what roadblocks you've encountered, etc.
On that note, with some Wii/Gamecube games it's as simple as:
1. Open the Dolphin Emulator.
2. Load the folder containing the game you want to rip (but not the game itself! Just make sure Dolphin can see it.)
3. Right-click the game in Dolphin's game selection menu and clicking Properties in the context menu that pops up.
4. Navigate to the "Filesystem" tab in the Properties window
5. Locate the files you want to rip, right-click them (or the folder containing them), then click the "Extract File..." / "Extract Files..." button that shows up and navigate to the desired location you want to put your extracted files.
Voila, you now have the raw files from the game itself! Now, at least some games will require asset conversion before they're useable - I'd recommend researching filetypes you don't recognize, either by searching on this website or on Google. You may get lucky and find tools already built to assist in the conversion. If not, you can ask for further help somewhere around here or on the Discord, which is significantly more active.
Hope this helped!
