The Dol file format is the main executable file format for both the GameCube and the Wii. The name presumably refers to "Dolphin", which was the GameCube's codename.
It is a simple file format consisting of a header and up to 7 loadable code sections (Text0..Text6) and up to 11 data sections (Data0..Data10). All values in the header are unsigned big-endian 32-bit values.
Header:
| Start | End | Length | Description |
| 0x0 | 0x3 | 4 | File offset to start of Text0 |
| 0x04 | 0x1b | 24 | File offsets for Text1..6 |
| 0x1c | 0x47 | 44 | File offsets for Data0..10 |
| 0x48 | 0x4B | 4 | Loading address for Text0 |
| 0x4C | 0x8F | 68 | Loading addresses for Text1..6, Data0..10 |
| 0x90 | 0xD7 | 72 | Section sizes for Text0..6, Data0..10 |
| 0xD8 | 0xDB | 4 | BSS address |
| 0xDC | 0xDF | 4 | BSS size |
| 0xE0 | 0xE3 | 4 | Entry point |
| 0xE4 | 0xFF | padding |
