Is there a reliable method of doing this conversion? I need to do it for a hacked (translation) version of Majora's Mask. Any help?

Thanks!

You can install an N64 emulator on your wii and play the rom on that
AFAIK no one has found a way to play roms via VC

If i remember correctly VC channels are essentially mini emulators. I heard its possible to dump a VC and then replace the game inside using a Hex Editor. There was a tutorial online somewhere, i suggest searching something like 'Inject N64 roms into Wii VC'.

All you need to do is to get an existing WAD, extract the files, compress your .z64 N64 ROM with romc (http://puu.sh/drAsY/ce1bddb73c.zip, command-line usage: "romc e file1 file2"), replace the one in the extracted WAD files with your compressed one, recompile the WAD and then install it on your Wii.

It can be done, but each VC game includes an emulator tailored to that game, so it's a crapshoot whether it'll work with other games.

Yes it's exist a way. You can make a forwarder as *.wad. And this Wad will open your file on the SD.
But it's no porgram can convert N64 ROMS to *.dol, *.wad etc.

Or here is a Documentation by Skelux for Z64 porting to Wii Wad:

Right, I've done the romc compression for my hacked Cruis'n USA with the uncensored pope girl and works perfectly, but only in its own original WAD. However is a good choice use Virtual console extractor, with that tool you can also extract all the files in the WAD channel and delete the t1 files that cut out some features by the original game (in Cruis'n USA the t1 files cutted out the Hollywood giant words in Beverly Hills and the logos from the cars)

However there is a WAD channel that is compatible with the injection of Cruis'n World or Exotica?
