Description

What is a ciso file?

Much like Dolphin's gcz compressed files, ciso files are isos with all the
junk data removed. I compared the sizes of 2 wii games in gcz and ciso, and
apparenly, ciso is smaller.

Super Paper Mario gcz - 526 306 KB
Super Paper Mario ciso - 434 208 KB

New Super mario Bros. Wii gcz - 571 502 KB
New Super mario Bros. Wii ciso - 366 624 KB

Also, USB loaders can rip games directly in ciso format, so you won't have
to dump the whole iso and then compress it. Here is a program that can
convert your isos to cisos, for the devs to figure out how to add support:
