I really just want to rip from Wii games, but I say Gamecube since they use (mostly) the same hardware
make sure not to rip a piece of paper instead of a game asset

Hi! As a starting point, use Dolphin and its file viewer. If you don't know how to do this, you right click the game, click Properties, and click the right arrow until you see Filesystem. Go into that tab and you can see the files stored in the game.

Places to get help:
DYKG/VG Resource Discord - This is where most of the ripping experts on the VG Resource hang out these days, so you should probably start here. Any requests to rip stuff (i.e. "Please rip sounds/models/sprites from game X!") are only allowed here as per the rules.

ResHax forum - Another forum that is home to most of the reverse engineers who were on the old ZenHax and XenTax forums. A great place to get help for any mysterious files. I'm also there under the same username.

And remember, always upload example files. That way, people don't have to dig in and fetch them for you.

Any game you're looking to rip from specifically? Games have different file types.
Some more common ones to look out for are .bmd for GameCube models (Mario Sunshine, MK Double Dash, Pikmin 2, etc.) and .brres for Wii archives (a LOT of games)
