'''SEL''' files are some kind of symbol files for the Wii. It seems to be used for dynamic linking, and it is present in all [[title]]s that use Opera.
+
'''SEL''' files are a type of symbol table used by Wii software. They are required in order for a game to link to [[RSO]] files.
+
+
These files contain symbol names and mappings for any function required by the RSO files that the games link to, however in some cases the SEL file contains all functions available in the game.

Megazig's [https://github.com/Megazig/WiiTools WiiTools] contains an IDA loader plugin as well as a Python script to parse these files.

+
== Notable Uses ==
+
+
* Wii System Menu (versions [[System Menu 3.4|3.4]] and below include all(?) function definitions, versions afterwards appear to be more conservative)

SEL files are interesting because they contain official function names for almost every function in some titles. Sir_Kane has written a <!-- link this word once you find the link to it-->plugin/script/thing for IDA to load the data from SEL files for easier reverse engineering.
