== How to extract ROMs from Wii U VC games ==

Extracting the ROMs out of your VC Games means that you can use the ROMs from this guide on an emulator on your PC or another console.

Before you begin, if you are using Windows, make sure that File Name Extensions is enabled in File Explorer, like in the image below.

[[File:Windows_file_extension.png]]

Also make sure that your USB storage device or SD card is formatted as FAT32. If it is not, use one of these tools to do so:
* Windows - [http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm GUIFormat]
* Linux - [https://gparted.org/download.php GParted]
* macOS - [https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/format-a-disk-for-windows-computers-dskutl1010 Disk Utility]
** macOS Users: Always select “MS-DOS (FAT)”, even if the device is larger than 32GB.

=== Dumping the VC Games ===
==== Dumpling ====
# Insert the USB Device or SD Card into your Wii U
# If prompted, '''do not''' format any USB devices through the Wii U.
# Open the Internet Browser on your console and go to <code>dumplingapp.com</code>
# Tap “Launch dumpling”.
#* If your console freezes for more than 10 seconds, hold down the Power button for 4 seconds and reboot.
#* Once rebooted, [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history reset the browser’s save data] and try again.
# Select “Dump Digital Games”.
# Select all the games you want to dump using the DPad/A button and then press Start.
# Make sure the account is set accordingly, then select Start to begin dumping. (this could take a while)
# Once finished, press start to exit Dumpling and insert your USB storage device or SD card into your computer.
# Copy all the games you want to extract from <code>sd:/dumpling/games</code> to somewhere on your computer.

==== DumpsterU ====
{{info|text=DumpsterU requires a USB Device that has been formatted by the Wii U, and the <code>otp.bin</code> and <code>seeprom.bin</code> from your [[wiiuguide:tiramisu/nand-backup|NAND Backup]]. DumpsterU also does not support macOS.}}
# Download the [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/DumpsterU/releases/tag/v1.0.1 latest release of DumpsterU] for your OS.
# Insert the USB drive into your Computer. Do not format the drive if promted to.
# Open up DumpsterU on your PC. Ubuntu users may have to open it through the terminal with <code>sudo</code>.
# Select your USB drive and insert your otp.bin and seeprom.bin into DumpsterU and click Ok.
# Select the game you want to extract and select a place to store it. (You have to do this step with every game you want to extract.)

===== What you need =====
