What it says on the title. I want to extract the Metal Gear 2 rom from the VC WAD I have, but after unpacking and trying all the files in blueMSX, none of them seem to boot on it/be like a MSX rom. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, if I need a special program, or it's just that they can't be extracted at the moment.

Any help or info would be great.

EDIT: Nevermind. Figured out how to do it!

For extract the rom file of MSX/MSX2 Wii VC WADs, you need to extract the WAD with a WAD unpacker tool, then extract the 00000005.app file with an U8 Tool and you'll get the rom, as described here:

* SLOT1.ROM is the rom if it is a MSX game
* MEGAROM.ROM is the rom if it is a MSX2 game
