Homebrew Converting Virtual Console to ROM

[shindonkeypunch]

Is there a simple way to extract or convert a rom from a Virtual Consle WAD? Specifically stuff like NES? Same for WiiU Virtual Console.

Sorry for necrobumping...

Not sure if this helps but look at this quote from https://gbatemp.net/threads/any-way...roms-for-use-in-retroarch.579958/post-9318330 :

You don't need to decrypt Wii Virtual Console ROMs for use them. But, since the VC games are dumped in WADs, you must extract the content of the WADs in order for get its original ROMs fro the WAD, using a WAD unpacker, such as wwPacker.

Here's the location of the ROMs located in WADs as shown:

• NES Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000001.app (but you need to extract the rom from here using the NES ROM Extractor tool by @DarkMatterCore: https://mega.co.nz/#!YIYWAShT!nwElJwqBt5iaq_uSrSR62mHrVVbbbwlBvHeBdm9GiE0
• SNES Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000005.app, extract the 5.app using an U8 tool (i use @HowardC's U8 Tool) and the file with extension *.rom is the rom file
• N64 Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000005.app, extract the 5.app using an U8 tool (i use @HowardC's U8 Tool) and the file called "rom" is the rom file
• SEGA Master System Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000005.app, extract the 5.app using an U8 tool (i use @HowardC's U8 Tool), then extract the data.ccf using @HowardC's CCF tool and the file with extension *.sms.zlib is the rom file, rename it to just [rom_file_name].sms (without adding the .zlib extension) and you get the rom
• SEGA Genesis / SEGA Mega Drive Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000005.app, extract the 5.app using an U8 tool (i use @HowardC's U8 Tool), then extract the data.ccf using @HowardC's CCF tool and the file with extension *.sgd.zlib is the rom file, rename it to just [rom_file_name].bin or [rom_file_name].smd (without adding the .zlib extension) and you get the rom
• TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine HuCARD Wii VC WADs: the ROM is in 00000005.app, extract the 5.app using an U8 tool (i use @HowardC's U8 Tool) and the file with extension *.PCE is the rom file

Hope this help
