Hi, community.
I want to know how I can extract the main.dol file from a Commodore 64 VC WAD that I need for patch it for change video mode with Wii Generic Patcher (Generic Wii Patcher), but I don't know how to do it. Can anybody say me how I can extract a main.dol from a WAD? Thanks for your answers.

I use a program called ShowMiiWads. My account is new, so I can't link to it. Please just Google. There's probably better programs out there, but I'm not aware of them.

It's been a while since I last used it, but from memory, it's usually 00000001.app. Or another one. The executable is not actually called main.dol. Just try to extract all the apps. The one you can't extract is your dol.

Edit: so that was my fifth post ;)

Thanks for your answer, I'll try it. I have this program and I also include this tool in my all-in-one pack for Wii VC injecting:

You should also look into customize mii, trust mii (lol see what I did there?) I use show mii wads / show mii nand too and think it's an amazing tool but imho it's better suited for other tasks. In this particular use case I works reach into my Wii toolkit and pull out Customize Mii
