View source for DOL

The '''Dol''' file format is the main executable [[:Category:File formats|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:
