Virtual Console – TurboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD – WAD Injection Guide
By RadioShadow
Special thanks to 0RANGECHiCKEN/squidman for the tg16inject tool and HowardC for the Nintendo Wii WAD injection tools.
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THE WAD YOU EDIT BRICKS YOUR WII WHEN YOU INSTALL IT ONTO YOUR NINTENDO WII.
PROCEED TO FOLLOWING THE GUIDE AT YOU OWN RISK!
Step 1:
- In the “Control Panel”, open “Folder Options” and click on “View”. Make sure “Hide extensions for known file types” is UNTICKED!
Step 2:
- Download the “PC Engine CD - Wii Injection Tools” from this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?bayc2q91n23zcts)
- Extract the files to your computer using “Winzip” which can be downloaded from this website: http://www.winzip.com/index.htm
Note: The download does not contain the "common-key.bin" file since that file is illegal to host on GBAtemp. You will have to find and download this yourself and place it inside the "PC Engine CD - Wii Injection Tools" folder. Make sure it is renamed as: common-key.bin
- Please beware that these tools require a PC that uses “Windows” as the operating system.
- If the “Windows 7” operating system is the 64 bit version, then you will have to install “Windows Virtual PC” to run the 32 bit tools and install other programs. It can be downloaded from this website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
- Mac and Linux users will have to use vitalization software to run the programs or install “Windows” as a second operating system (don’t ask me how to do this I don’t have a Mac or Linux operating system).
Step 3:
- Download "Microsoft Forms 2.01" from this website: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Micr...oad-89056.html
- Install it onto your computer.
Step 4:
- Download and install “DAEMON Tools Lite” from this website: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/downloads
- Install onto your computer.
Step 5:
- Download and install “CDRWin” from this website: http://cdrwin.en.softonic.com/
- Install onto your computer.
Step 6:
- Download and install “MeowMultiSound” from this website: http://meow-prod.com/Ogg_to_mp3_to_wav_to_...er_en_100.html
- Install onto your computer.
Step 7:
- You will need to install the files for the East Asian Languages, otherwise the Japanese characters will be displayed as ? characters when you view, paste or type them in.
- For details on how to do this under Windows, check this website out: http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Prog...llation_XP.html
Step 8:
- To install Wii WADs (files that contain the Nintendo Wii Channel data) onto your Nintendo Wii, you will need to install the Homebrew Channel. For more details, check this website: http://hbc.hackmii.com/
- Once the Homebrew Channel has been installed onto your Nintendo Wii, you can then run a Homebrew application called "WAD Manger" to install Nintendo Wii WADs . "WAD Manger" can be downloaded from here: http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=11391
Step 9:
- Download the IOS53 WAD (GBAtemp won't allow links) and install it onto your Wii.
Step 10:
- Download a Virtual Console WAD (GBAtemp won't allow links) that runs a “TurboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD” game. It does not matter what region (the Nintendo Wii console) the WAD is for.
- MAKE SURE THE WAD YOU DOWNLOAD IS A CD GAME, NOT A CARTRIDGE GAME. If unsure, check this website for a list of TurboGrafx-16 CD games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Turbo...Engine-CD_games
- I advise you go and install the WAD on your Wii, to make sure the WAD you downloaded works.
- If your Wii is PAL (Europe / Australia), please beware that the games run in PAL60, not in PAL50.

[titlebtaining the TurboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD ISO]
Before you go and download a TuroboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD game, I need to mention three things.
Important Mention 1:
There are three types of CDs used:
- CD-ROM²: Standard CD-ROM game.
- Super CD-ROM²: Requires a compatible system or upgrade card.
- Arcade CD-ROM²: Requires an upgrade card.
Without going into too much technically detail, the Nintendo Wii emulator can play both CD-ROM² and Super CD-ROM² games. The only different between them is CD-ROM² uses 64K of RAM while the Super CD-ROM² uses 64K of RAM and 192K of Extra RAM. The RAM for both the CD-ROM² and Super CD-ROM² were used for data storage which could be accessed directly. The current Nintendo Wii emulator on the Virtual Console at the moment has not been set up to run Arcade CD-ROM² games, due to the data from the RAM being accessed in a different way. There weren’t that many Arcade CD-ROM² games anyway and all of them only had a Japan release, so it’s not a big loss. You will notice that some support both CD-ROM² & Super CD-ROM² or Super CD-ROM² & Arcade CD-ROM². These should work fine on the Nintendo Wii as they will act like a Super CD-ROM².
Important Mention 2:
Be carefully when picking games that use voices as audio (ogg) files, especially during cut scenes in games like “Puyo Puyo CD”, “Hellfire S” and “Final Zone II”. The main problem with the Nintendo Wii emulator is it plays the music about 2 seconds early. Usually in the cue file on the actually CD, it tells the game how much of a delay to give for each audio track used. The cue file used in the Nintendo Wii emulator doesn’t have this information and what you will find is the voices play first before the characters move their mouth, causing the voices not to be in sync in certain games. Check this Youtube video out and you can see for yourself that the voices during the “Puyo Puyo CD” cuts scene voices don’t sync:
[youtube]
It doesn’t stop the game from being playable and if you don’t mind this, then by all means go and inject that game. Games like “Bonanza Bros.”, “Lemmings” and “Rainbows Islands” only have background music and no voice files, so it won’t make a different if the music starts too early and you wouldn’t notice it either. Also a game like “Juuouki [Altered Beast]” does have some speech but is only telling the story while pictures are being displayed, so you won’t be able to notice that the audio file is playing two seconds early.
Important Mention 3:
Beware that not all injects are going to work correctly (not referring to the voice sync issue). Basically, be prepared for some games to have issues. Below is a list of some games that have issues:
- "Steam Heart's" audio (ogg) is good but in the game, audio doesn't work.
- "Valis" has no video during audio scenes.
- "Valis II" and "Valis III" audio sync is completely off. A lot of overlapping.
- "Last Alert" audio sync is completely off. A lot of overlapping.
- "Legion" has graphical errors, can't see the enemies.
- "Forgotten Worlds" screen isn’t central when you go into the shop.
Getting the ISO:
Now what you need to do is obtain the ISO and CUE files for the required game. There are two ways you can do this:
- Method 1: Dump the ISO and CUE files yourself (requires a CD / DVD drive)
- Method 2: Download the ISO and CUE files from the Internet
Method 1:
Step 1:
- Obtain a copy of the original “TurboGrafx-16 CD" / "PC Engine CD” game.
Step 2:
- Open the CD / DVD tray.
- Insert the CD.
- Close the tray.
Step 3:
- Open “CDRWin”.
Step 4:
- Click on the top middle icon (see the blue circle in the image below).
Step 5:
- Select the “CD Reader” drive that you inserted the CD into.
Step 6:
- Click on the bottom “...” button (see the blue circle in image below).
- Select a location to save the BIN and CUE files and give the file a name.
- Then click the “Save” button.
Step 7:
- Make sure the “Extract Mode...” is set to “Disc Image/Cuesheet”.
- Press the “Start” button.
- Let the computer do its magic. Just sit back and relax!
- Once the data has been dumped, you will get this message.
Step 8:
- Close “CDRWin”.
Step 9:
- Copy the BIN and CUE files to the “PC Engine CD - Wii Injection Tools” folder.
Method 2:
Step 1:
- Download the full ISO / BIN and CUE files from the Internet.
Step 2:
- If you are really lucky, the download will contain the ISO and CUE files.
- If that is the case, skip to Step 4.
- Sometimes the download will contain the BIN and CUE files.
- If that is the case, skip to Step 4.
- Most of the time the download will contain the ISO and the audio files in ogg, mp3 or wav.
- If this is the case, you have extra work to do.
- The first thing you have to do is check the music is in the right format. Most of the time it isn’t and you will have to convert it to the correct format.
- Anyway, open the “.cue” file in "Notepad".
- The file that you have opened will show you what format the audio files are meant to be in.
- If they are the same, then skip the Extra Step.
- If not, then read the Extra Step.
Extra Step:
- If you are really lucky, the game you downloaded might have come with a “.bat” file which will convert them into the correct format. Just double click it.
- Once the audio files have been converted to the correct format, press any button on the keyboard to exit the “Command Prompt”.
- The audio files will now be in the correct format.
- If not, then open “MeowMultiSound”.
- Change the “Output format” to the format mentioned in the “.cue” file.
- Click on the “Output Folder” button and select the same folder that the “TurboGrafx-16 CD / PC Engine CD” files are in.
- Select (hold left button on mouse and drag) all the audio files and then drag and drop them into the “Files to covert” area.
- Click on the “Convert” button.
- Let the tool convert the files.
- The audio files are now in the correct format.
- Close “MeowMultiSound” tool.
Step 3:
- Open “DAEMON Tools Lite”.
- Right click the mouse on the “Device 0: [E:]” icon (please note the drive letter might be different to the one shown in the picture below) and select “Mount”.
- Open the “.cue” file.
- This box will appear. Once it disappears, then the CD ISO / BIN has been mounted to the Virtual Drive.
- Open “CDRWin”.
- Click on the top middle icon (see the blue circle in the image below).
- Select the “CD Reader” as the Virtual Reader (DAEMON Tools Lite) drive. In my case it is the “E:” drive (please note the drive letter might be different to the one shown in the picture below).
- Click on the bottom “...” button (see blue circle in image below).
- Select a location to save the ISO and CUE files and give the file a name.
- Then click the “Save” button.
- Make sure the “Extract Mode...” is set to “Disc Image/Cuesheet”.
- Press the “Start” button.
- Let the computer do its magic. Just sit back and relax!
- Once the data has been dumped, you will get this message.
- Close CDRWin.
- Going back to the “DAEMON Tools Lite”, right click the mouse on the “Device 0: [E:]” icon (please note the drive letter might be different to the one shown in the picture below) and select “Unmount All Drives”.
- Close “DAEMON Tools Lite”.
Step 4:
- Copy the ISO / BIN and CUE files to the “PC Engine CD - Wii Injection Tools” folder.

Step 4:
- Open the “config.ini” file in Notepad.
- What you have to do is modify these settings. You can add settings and/or remove settings. Basically, each line represents a setting and they can be put in any order. Below I have mentioned what these settings do:
“Name=”
This option does not do anything. Just put the title of the game’s name here (keeping it short and using ASCII characters only).
Make sure you KEEP this setting!
“ROM=”
Tells the emulator which “.hcd” to load. Replace the option with “CDROM.hcd”.
Make sure you KEEP this setting!
“BACKUPRAM=”
Saves data (if game uses a save feature) so if the power is turned off (not using the Wii VC Save State), the data won’t get loss.
0 = Doesn’t backup save data
1 = Does backup save data
“MULTITAP=”
The "TurboGrafx 16" / "PC Engine" only had one once controller port and in order for multiplayer (up to five players) to work, a multitap has to be connected.
0 = No Multitap connected (only 1 Controller is connected)
1 = Multitap is connected (4 Controllers are connected)
“PAD5=”
Use this option if the “MULTITAP=” option is set to 1 and the game you are injecting supports 5 Players.
If activated, when you start the game, an option appears which will allow you to set which “Wii Remotes” / “Gamecube Controllers” to use.
0 = Controller 5 is not connected to Multitap
1 = Controller 5 is connected to Multitap
“RASTER=”
I’m not a 100% sure but I think this option is to allow scrolling backgrounds to display correctly.
I know “Star Parodier” uses this option and in “Puyo Puyo CD” (inject Nintendo Wii Channel, not official Nintendo Wii Channel), it fixes a tiny 'glitch' in the scrolling of the high score screen.
You will just have to experiment with this option as I don’t know which games are programmed to use it.
Also beware that games that don’t support “raster” might slow down. I had to disable it in “Rainbow Islands” because the game slowed down when too many enemies were on the screen.
0 = Raster affect is off
1 = Raster affect is on
Below I have quoted what Wiki says about “Raster”:
“NOFPA=”
No idea what this option does. It is always activated in official Wii Channels.
Make sure you KEEP this setting!
0 = NOFPA is off
1 = NOFPA is on
“IRQMODE=”
No idea what this option does. It is activated in “Gradius 2: Gofer No Yabou”.
0 = IRQMODE is off.
1 = IRQMODE is on.
“CD_VOLUME=”
“ADPCM_VOLUME=”
“PSG_VOLUME=”
Adjust the CD (.ogg music), PSG (music playing from the .bin files) and ADPCM volume.
Used in “Gradius 2: Gofer No Yabou”.
Use 1 decimal point for the volume value, for example: 0.8
“HDS=”
“POPULUS=”
“SPRLINE=”
No idea what those options do. These settings are not activated in official Wii Channels.
0 = Disable setting.
1 = Activate setting.
“EUROPE=”
Disable if installing on a Japan Wii, activate if installing on an American or Europe Wii.
Make sure you KEEP this setting!
0 = If installing WAD on a Japan [NTSC-J].
1 = If installing WAD on a USA or an American [NTSC-U] Wii or Europe [PAL-E].
“PATCH=”
No idea what this option does but it is activated in “Gradius 2: Gofer No Yabou” - Europe version.
0 = PATCH is off.
1 = PATCH is on.
“HIDEOVERSCAN=”
By default, this is set to “off”. It is set to “on” in “Castlevania: Rondo of Blood”.
An over-scan is an extra image around the four edges of a video image, which is not meant to be seen by the viewer.
Turning this on basically puts a small Black Border around the image. Depending on the type of TV you have will depend if you can see them or not.
I’ve no idea when you need to use this option, so will you just have to experiment.
0 = HIDEOVERSCAN is off.
1 = HIDEOVERSCAN is on.
“YOFFSET=”
Used in “Castlevania: Rondo of Blood”. It moves the screen down (y axis) to centre the image.
If you get any injected ISO’s that do not display in the centre of the screen like “Bonanza Bros.” (inject Wii Channel, not official Wii Channel), try using this.
Use whole positive numbers like 0, 3, 7, 9 etc.
“ARCADE=”
“CHASEHQ=”
“PADBUTTON=”
These are options that don’t get used in any official WADs.
No idea what these options do.
0 = Disable option
1 = Activate option
- Now you should have something like this:
- Save changes to the file [File -> Save].
Step 5:
- In the “PC Engine Wii Injection Tools” -> “VC Files” folder, copy:
#### “TITLE (JP).TXT” – If you are going to install the WAD on a Japan [NTSC-J] Wii.
#### “TITLE (US EU).TXT” – If you are going to install the WAD on an American [NTSC-U] Wii or Europe [PAL-E] Wii.
- Paste the file into the “00000005_app_OUT” folder.
- Rename the file to: TITLE.TXT
- Open the “TITLE.TXT” file in Notepad.
- Edit the Save Banner title in the first line.
#### You can use ASCII, ASCII Extended and UNICODE characters.

- Save changes to the file [File -> Save].
- Close Notepad.
Step 6:
- Copy the “RLmessages.bin” in the “PC Engine Wii Injection Tools” -> VC Files into the “00000005_app_OUT” folder.
- If the “RLmessages.bin” file is already in the 00000005.app, then skip this step.
Step 7:
- In the “PC Engine Wii Injection Tools” -> “VC Files” folder, copy:
#### “syscard3P (JP)” – If you are going to install the WAD on a Japan [NTSC-J] Wii.
#### “syscard3P (US EU)” – If you are going to install the WAD on an American [NTSC-U] Wii or Europe [PAL-E] Wii.
Note: If the game you are injecting is Juuouki (Altered Beast), then copy “syscard3P (Use only if game is Juuouki [Altered Beast]).pce”. This is because the game will crash after completing the first level if the other system cards are used.
- Paste the file into the “00000005_app_OUT” folder.
- Rename the file to: syscard3P.pce
Step 8:
Move all the files in the “CD Tools” -> “CDROM” folder into the “00000005_app_OUT” folder.
Step 9:
- Going back to the “U8 Tool”, click on the “Pack” button.
- Close the “U8 Tool”.
- In the “PC Engine Wii Injection Tools” folder, open “U8Tool.exe”.
- Click on the top right “…” button and open the “00000005.app” in the “WAD” folder.

0 = Raster affect is off
1 = Raster affect is on
Below I have quoted what Wiki says about “Raster”:
Code:
“Some display systems have only one layer. These include most of the classic 8-bit systems (such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, the original Game Boy, and the PC Engine). The more sophisticated games on such systems generally divide the layer into horizontal strips, each with a different position and rate of scrolling. Typically, strips higher on the screen will represent things farther away from the virtual camera or one strip will be held stationary to display status information. The program will then wait for horizontal blank and change the layer's scroll position just before the display system begins to draw each scanline. This is called a "raster effect" and is also useful for changing the system palette to provide a gradient background.”“NOFPA=”
No idea what this option does. It is always activated in official Wii Channels.
Make sure you KEEP this setting!
0 = NOFPA is off
1 = NOFPA is on

- Next you will be given an option to change the WAD’s ID. Enter four ASCII letters with your choice. Just use the ASCII letters A-Z and 0-9. Press Enter.
Note: Beware that using the same ID as other Nintendo Wii channels is not a good idea. If you install the WAD onto your Nintendo Wii with the Wii Channel that has the same ID, it will get deleted and replaced with the one you are installing. It is best to make a note of the ID you are giving the injected WAD.

Step 4:
- The new created wad will be in the “PC Engine CD Injection Tools” folder.
