From the underground: DOL Tool 3 - Wii hack conversion from .DOL to .ELF |
Ó
At the French Wii Gen Forums, we discovered that a Windows-based executable, called DOL Tool 3, that converts .DOL GameCube ROMs to Wii-friendly .ELF files was released. ELF files are basically executable and by theory could be run after you've crashed your Nintendo Wii via the Twilight Hack.
Of course, that's in theory. A direct convert doesn't ensure that the .ELF file is 100% Wii-compatible - it only makes it accessible on the Wii. And though the conversion process may look like a direct renaming, the author claims that your target GameCube game undergoes a genuine conversion process.
You might want to test this for yourself, so head on over to the Forums via the source link below to better understand the instructions. Basically, all you have to do is download the archive, extract it to a manageable folder on your desktop, navigate to it via command line, and execute doltool.exe by typing "doltool.exe -e [gamecube-filename.dol]". Of course, you'll have to have the target file in the same directory.

We *are* talking about different hardware here.
It Work at 70 % It doesn't Work with Emulators ...
care to translate the french page?
QJ .... GAMECUBE .... not DREAMCAST !!!! .dol files are for gamecube, this app enables the use of a gamecube executable in WII mode ... This is mainly to convert a homebrew Gamecube to Wii So that with little tweaking you can use the new hardware of the wii... Quite handy for coders
I was confused about the whole dreamcast thing. DOL stands for Dolphin, the codename of the gamecube. probably wii homebrew will be in the format of .rev, rev for Revolution, codename of the wii. So with this, r wii going to see a gamecube backup loader thru GCOS? if the SNES emu for the wii can load roms of a dvd, surely a hack can be done to load backups. What does anybody else think of this? Oh, and I forget we can inject N64 roms thru GCOS, so possiblity of N64 emulation, total bypass of the VC system. wow, things are unfolding fast on this scene.
umm like lets say region free game exicution, i mostly want this for the gamecube at the mo, as i have a few american games(i live in uk), but region free wii would also be nice
And thanks for replying.
