The "Donkey Kong Country 2" rom, extracted from PAL Wii Virtual Console, is matched to "Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest (Europe) (En,Fr) (Rev A)" on the dat.
It's very great, what we preserved from retail cardridges matched nintendo official data. :)

SPADNP1.548 matched.
JBDP.rom is modified, maybe musics are relinked to JBDP.PCM.

So this could mean one of two things

One) Dumper units create accurate 1:1 dumps of snes roms
Two) Nintendo used a dumper unit or google to get the snes roms on VC

NES remakes for the gamecube use iNES headers. It's pretty obvious Nintendo steals scene material.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me. Wolfenstein 3D (UE) for the GBA contains Ecks vs Sever intro hack code...

Here's waiting for a dump of Sin & Punishment. Let's see if a new N64 ROM can be extracted. :lol:

How did you extract the roms? I have bought a bunch of VC games but never copied them over to an SD card and see what format they were in.

Have any of the NES ROMs been extracted? I'm kinda interested in seeing if their are any changes to the version of SMB2 Lost Levels that was on VC.

You can decrypt the data in SD with this tool. (sdkey.bin, sdiv.bin are needed)

how to make sdkey.bin and sdiv.bin (a Wii iso is needed):

After decryption, you can extract the roms with hexeditor, or extraction tool http://neosource.1emu.net/forums/index. ... 19.msg7582 current one supports only DK2).

EDIT: the tool seems to be able to decrypt only savedata, not VC. -_-

I assume that once decrypted, there is no way to use the unlocked game on the actual Wii correct?

yeah, there's no way for now.

Still, it's amazing that it matched with what no-intro considers a pure ROM. It also is a step in the right direction for being able to play your SNES ROMs on the Wii VC.

I bought the DKC2 Virtual Console game for my Wii because I loved it so much.

I wish they had spent more than 5min designing the classic controller for the Wii. Its just feels so uncomfortable and cheap. Can't stand playing F-Zero X with it.

Well, hacks have been successfully made so you can play a wireless NES, SNES, and Genesis controller for Virtual Console. I'm sure somebody will eventually figure out how to do the N64 controller...

Yeah, somebody did a mod of a NES, a SNES, and a Genesis controller to work wirelessly for Virtual Console games through the Gamecube port. Here's some info about it (including a link to a YouTube video showing the first two listed in action):

that is sweet. Can't believe I haven't seen that before. Wish someone would make a wireless Wii Classic Controller(without it requiring the wiimote) or even just a usb adapter for the classic controller

Well, that didn't take long. :lol: Has anyone managed to extract any of the released N64, NES, Mega Drive or PC Engine ROMs to check which format they're in?

as reported in some spanish forum :

mariokart 64 vc rom matches Mario Kart 64 (U) [!] rom from goodn64

so i guess, all roms will match dumped ones

Paper Mario did not, in fact it was odd file size, something like 27.5 mb. Due to a hard rive crash of my secondary hard drive, I have not been able to investigate further to see what might be different though.

EDIT: I have discovered (not my work, read about it) that the paper mario rom is in fact compressed, as are several other n64 VC titles. Using a program I found the original file can be restored. In the case of the paper mario rom, when uncompressed it also matches what is found in the dat.
