NKit is a Nintendo ToolKit that can Recover and Preserve Wii and GameCube disc images
Recovery is the ability to rebuild source images to match the known good images verified by Redump
Preserve is the ability to shrink any image and convert it back to the source iso
NKit can convert to ISO and NKit format. The NKit format is designed to shrink an image to it's smallest while ensuring it can be restored back to the original source data. NKit images are also playable by Dolphin

Version 1.1
-----------------
- NKit format fix: Fixed a bug when converting Wii to NKit. This was introduced during the last 2 days of development while adding support for a Customs preservation bug.
- Fixed a minor ProcessingApp bug where the output path would be used.
Any Converted NKit Wii images from v1.0 are not corrupt. Just not 100% correct to the format. Reconverting will correct the issue.
==========
Version 1.0

- Fixed a bug in the GC Format (This alters 12 of the GC Redump images - just reencode them if you verify against NKit dats)
- Added Wii NKit Format (100% Redump tested, Scrubbed & Custom Support)
- 2 Windows (Sorry Linux & Mac users) GUI Apps added, including file extraction
