Wii U Virtual Console - farmerbb/RED-Project GitHub Wiki

Using a modded system ROMs may be extracted from the Wii U Virtual Console. Please note that these dumps are not clean.

Currently GBA, DS, NES, FDS, SNES, PCE, TG16, N64 and Wii roms can be extracted.

ROM Extraction Instructions

  1. Open the Wii U browser and go to https://dumplingapp.com/
  • If you have Aroma CFW installed, restart your Wii U and hold R during boot to launch the vanilla Wii U menu.
  1. Tap the button that says "Launch Dumpling"
  • If it freezes or gives an error, restart your Wii U and try again.
  1. Use Dumpling to dump the virtual console game of your choice off your Wii U, a guide is available here https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Wii_U:VC_Extract

For DS game dumps, the ROM will be in the content/0010 folder inside of a "rom.zip" file, in .sdl or .nds format. .sdl files can be renamed to an .nds format.

For N64 games, the ROM will be in the content/rom folder and can be renamed to .z64 format.

NDS, FDS, NES, SNES, PCE, TG16 and GBA games

In order to extract these titles, a program called Wii U VC Extractor will be needed to extract the rom files.

  1. Download Wii U VC Extractor from here https://github.com/AwakeEchidna/wiiu-vc-extractor

  2. Run Wii U VC Extractor on the dump file created by Dumpling.

Wii games

In order to extract Wii titles, a program called nfs2iso2nfs will be needed.

  1. Download and install .NET framework 4.5.2 or later from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/

  2. Download nfs2iso2nfs from here https://github.com/NicoAICP/UWUVCI-Tools/raw/master/nfs2iso2nfs.exe

  3. Extract nfs2iso2nfs to the "content" folder of your Wii game dumped by Dumpling.

  4. Open CMD or terminal in the folder and run this command:

Windows:

nfs2iso2nfs.exe -dec

wine nfs2iso2nfs.exe -dec
