Patcher is a user-friendly tool designed to simplify the process of patching your Just Dance games on Wii to let you access the DanceParty Legacy servers.

• ISO
• WBFS
• DOL (main.dol)
• NKIT / GCZ
  • NKIT files aren't currently supported. You can convert your NKIT files to ISO by using NKIT tools by Vimm.

There are three different ways you can use Patcher:

You can easily download pre-built releases of Patcher from the releases page. Once downloaded, simply drag and drop your WBFS / ISO or DOL file onto the tool, and it will automatically patch it for you.

To run Patcher with Node.JS, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Node.JS version 16 or higher installed on your system.
2. Clone the Patcher repository using the command: git clone https://github.com/dancepartyteam/patcher.git && cd patcher-wii
3. Install the necessary dependencies with the command: npm i
4. Once the installation is complete, you can run the tool and view the available CLI options by executing node index.js -h or using the GUI by running node index.js.
5. To patch a bundle directly, use the following command: node index.js path/to/wbfs/iso/or/dol. For example: node index.js C:/Users/Example/Desktop/JD2016.iso
6. Patcher will automatically patch your ISO file and save it as a new file. If you're patching DOL files, it will create a backup for it.

If you prefer to build Patcher from source, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Node.JS version 16 or higher installed on your system.
2. Install the "pkg" package globally using the command: npm i -g pkg.
3. Clone the Patcher repository using the command: git clone https://github.com/dancepartyteam/patcher.git && cd patcher-wii.
4. Install the necessary dependencies with the command: npm i.
5. Build the tool using the command: pkg ..
6. Once the build process is complete, you can find the built packages in the dist/ directory.

With these simple instructions, you can easily patch your main.dol files and replace the original servers with DanceParty servers using Patcher. Enjoy the enhanced experience!

We cannot provide such information, you need to dump your legally owned game from your homebrewed Wii to WBFS or ISO format.

A DOL file, contains the source code of a game. Our tool patches this file to replace the old server URLs with our own, establishing a connection between you and the servers.

To obtain the DOL file, you can extract it by dumping the files from your legally owned game via tools such as WiiBackupFusion. Look for the DOL file in the DATA/sys folder. If you're using Dolphin emulator, you need to dump the entire disc starting from the root directory.
