Using DolRecomp

Now that you have successfully built DolRecomp on your PC. Here's a guide on how to recompile GameCube DOLs, Wii DOLs, and even Wii U RPXs!

Usage

1. GameCube:

You will first need to extract the .dol file from your GameCube ISO rom. This can be done using Dolphin Emulator, or, you can use DolRecomp's built-in disc extractor.

dolrecomp.exe extract path\to\iso extracted
dolrecomp.exe extract path\to\iso extracted

Note: Currently. The Disk extractor only accepts .iso and .wbfs. Support for .gcm and rvz may arrive in future updates.

Once you have that extracted. You can now run DolRecomp with it!

You can simply do so by using this command

dolrecomp.exe --gamecube path\to\main.dol build

The "build" argument is where the recompiled output folder is stored. If you do not wish to store it this way, you can simply run:

dolrecomp.exe --gamecube path\to\main.dol build

Which will only generate the recompiled output folder in the directory where you are running dolrecomp.exe.

Here i've used DolRecomp to recompile the extracted main.dol file from the Luigi's Mansion USA (GLME01) ROM .iso:
