Using this information I was able to dump the ROMs using Dolphin's file browser on my USA copy. Interestingly, it seems like the BIOS is also included on the disc because I was able to find it by opening the entire disc image in a hex editor. Can someone find out which file includes the BIOS?

According to this page, under "Emulator":

"The roms included with Pokemon Channel have the BIOS in the first 0x1000 bytes."

You’re right! I could have sworn that I read otherwise, though I probably just misremembered things. Now I’ll get to work on a wiki page for this.

It was Lunch Time (the European Snorlax’s Lunch Time variant) that was stripped of the BIOS like original hardware. All of the others have the BIOS added as a header.
