The Wii Homebrew Scene is really hotting up with the release today of the DOL to Elf converter which allows you to convert Gamecube Homebrew DOL files to Elf Format.

Heres the french to english translation


For the moment, there is no homebrew using the Wiimote, but you can still play homebrews Gamecube.

But the Gamecube homebrews are often proposed. Dol.
Do not worry, Doltool3 is there for you, allowing you to convert your file in fraud. Elf, and thus able to read it with the fault Twilight Hack.

So start by downloading Doltool3: (via Comments)

Extract the contents on your hard drive.

Next, run the command prompt: click Start> all programs> accessories> command prompt.

Browse on file with the command:

Cd .. To return to the previous folder.
Example: if you are in C: \ Users \ Hadrien28 and you write cd .. You will be in the file C: \ Users.

Type the command: cd "foldername" to return to a folder.

Example: you are in C: \ Users \ Hadrien28 and you have a case where you have Wii retrieved doltool3.rar. Write Wii cd and then you are now in the file C: \ Users \ Hadrien28 \ Wii.

You have to navigate through your files until you are in the directory where you extracted the contents of doltool3.rar earlier

Write now: doltool.exe-e snowlords.dol

Corresponds to the snowlords.dol. Fraud that you want to convert. Elf.

Now click Enter.

Now you can play your. Elf fault with the game Zelda.
Attention all. Fraud will not work with this flaw.
Do not be surprised if this does not work, like emulators.
We therefore hope that a new version will be coming in the days ahead.

I'm surprised I'm only the 2nd post, as this sounds really useful. Anyone have any success using this converter?

Figured I should let you guys know that you actually need to type doltool.exe -e snowlords.dol
to convert snowlords(or any other .dol for that matter) to a .elf
instead of doltool.exe-e snowlords.dol

there's a space in between "doltool.exe" and "-e"

I saw somebody mention in another thread that all you need to do is change .dol to .elf. Can anyone support this or correct it?

A dol is not an elf.

A dol is not an elf.

Right. General intuition gave me that idea. *shrug* If I come across the post again, I'll PM the person to see what they meant. In the meantime, I ♥ this tool.

Hello, new here and was wondering, is there is a action replay homebrew for the gamecube that I could run on the twilight hack and load codes on a gamecube game from the homebrew?

Your question doesn't make much sense but from what I know, I don't think you can run homebrew on the gamecube using the Wii's twilight hack. You can using an action replay though, more info at this thread: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=45125.

It's currently the only safe, released way to run homebrew on an unmodded Wii. More info: http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Twilight_Hack

I used this today. I converted the new version of the snesGX emulator to elf. It should work. After all the dol executable is meant to run on the Wii. It seems to work. The classic controller is awesome with Super Metroid!!!


When it first came out, I installed the Jay Paradox homebrew channel and I launch with Hell Hibou Launcher. The Hell Hibou Launcher only works with elf files.

I learn that Team Twiizers has a new homebrew channel that is also a launcher that is also upgradable.

I decided that simple is good and that brilliant, clever, creative does not === in your corner, on your side, got your back. The source for TT's homebrew channel/ launcher/ automatically upgradable is not available!!!
