Emulator

Please don't thank me, you're the ones that should be thanked. So thank you for
considering my requests, and for developing Dolphin so fast.

Don't forget a Wii ISO shrinker.

Wii ISO shrinker isn't possible atm, because the generic Wii decryption isn't hacked
(thanks god!) it's only possible to scrubb it, that means the image will be as big
as before, but compressed better, because some parts are replaced with Zeros.

Just want to ask if there's still work to be done on this. To be honest, it works
fine for me on all of my Gamecube GCMS. Of course, this could still be open unless
you were attempting at Wii ISO shrinking.

"Scrubbed" wii isos can be shrunk, so we should handle those.

yes, and the scrubbing source is gpl'd, i think. BUT, I'm guessing it's not
technically "safe": currently no way to go from a scrubbed image back to the exact
original image.

I suppose either we can not care, and just show a warning message, or maybe create of
file of all the original data that got zero'd, so it can be merged with the scrubbed
image. (Of course, this wouldn't save any space, just divide the garbage data from
the rest)

I say "Aye" for a warning message!

If the opinion of a lowly user counts, I vote for the one-way compression with a
warning message as well.

maybe add one way gcm shrinking and a warning with http://code.google.com/p/gcm-tool/

I'm not sure the GCM shrinking works extraordinarily well. I tried to shrink my
GameBoy Player disk dump and the GCZ wound up being nearly the same size (I want to
say bigger, but I can't check right now) as the GCM.

Run a "garbage cleaner" on the iso and try again.

By the way, if an iso doesn't get smaller, it's not a bug - maybe the iso data just
is so "random" that the compressor isn't able to find anything to reduce away.
