In January 2014, I added support for GCZ files (Dolphins file format).ĭolphin supports also ISO and WBFS. The beta test of WIA ended in October 2010. Needed disc space and can be handled with my tools directly. In August 2010 I developed a new format: WIA (Wii ISO Archive).įirst it was more a proof of concept to find out a format that reduce the No info about the original file size, blocks must be stored in ascending order.īut it has also a great advantage: It can be used by USB loaders. It has some design impairments: No network byte order, In March 2010 I noticed, that there was an other file format: CISO (=WBI).ĬISO manages hole like WDF but with larger chunks (standard 2 MiB). (greater equal 2 MiB, always power of 2). WBFS can be used by USB loaders because of the large chunk size This was the third ISO image file format in my personnel history. Who discovered WBFS files as data format for single ISO images. Since the beginning I worked with WBFS files instead with WBFS partitions for
#GCM TO ISO CONVERTER DOWNLOAD ARCHIVE#
Since October 2009 it is my standard archive format. WDF allows random access and is as fast as plain ISO.
The WDF images are a little bit smaller than compressed imagesĪnd WDF images can be read and written as fast as plain ISO images. This was more efficient than packing with tools like zip or rar: The first commit into the repository was at September 23Īnd the first alpha was released at September 28. Handy file format: The tool wwt and the file format WDF was born,
I thought about that problem and decided to create my own tool with a more In August 2009 my WBFS was corrupted again. It size is always 4.7GB (double layer are larger)īecause of the sparse effect of scrubbed images they take less disc space.īut copying such sparse file with simple copy tools removes the sparse effect. The tool wbfuse exports all Wii ISO images as Of all my about 40 Wii discs to a linux ext3 disc. In summer 2009 my WBFS was corrupted.īecause this failure and because disc space is cheap I made a copy I have used the linux tool wbfuse and the USB loaders When I started with USB loaders and backup copies in spring 2009.
