the tpl was a file named BG_16x9 and folder named that contained the ash files. I found out from another user, ASH files contained the images I needed and they were in tpl format. Also, I need a U8 tool of some kind to extract the ash file and a tpl converter. I found that Show Mii Wads a tpl converter. I overlooked the U8 extractor in Show Mii Wads and Show Mii Wads extracted and converted the images I needed. Thanks again for helping me. I like this forum, though I feel stupid cuz when I did this a year or two ago, I didn't go this deep to hack a Wii make it unique. I'm glad users are willing to help, I just hope I didn't aggravate anyone. I really appreciate the help.
