Nope
The short
The long version is you can't repack or create a wud Image.
Wud images are disk dumps and afaik there are no tools available to create them on your own.
A wud isn't compressed. On the contrary, it's always 25 GB sized no matter what size the game is.re-compress it again?
As I said the wud is a disk image and you can't update a disk.The current workflow now to archive an updated .wud dump every time a game update comes out would be to update the game with the Wii-U, re-dump and re-compress it again?
As I said the wud is a disk image and you can't update a disk.
So there is no way to have an updated version of the game as wud file.

As example nsmb is about 1.5 GB i guess. The wud is still 25 GB.

My first question for you is why do you even want to do this? Extract your monstrous WUD file and then delete it. Why keep a WUD around?Hi,
As the title say, I was wondering if it is possible to compile downloaded NUS updates into an existing Wud. Either direct - like Winrar, let's say, or by first extracting everything, adding the update and then re-compile a new .Wud.
TIA
I'm not sure if the wuds are the same after compress and decrompress again because they are disk sector dumps.My first question for you is why do you even want to do this? Extract your monstrous WUD file and then delete it. Why keep a WUD around?
Now having said that, here's something that might work for what you want to do.
1. Extract WUD to a "ready2play" loadiine version of the game.
2. Update that using new-nusgrabbergui
3. Put back in WUD format using http://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-image-wud-compression-tool.397901/
So yes, there is a WUD compression tool available. I just don't know why anybody would want WUD files. You can't play them, or do anything with them besides extract. Plus they're 25GB in size!

Maybe the size is the same as before but idk if the structure is the same.
(https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-image-wud-compression-tool.397901/)"It is lossless, meaning you can compress and uncompress a file and the outcome will still be the same. This is different to tools like WiiScrubber which actually modify the data
Not really, a) because there's no tool outside of the SDK that can let you repack disc images (the SDK does let you do that, only they call it "wumad") b) because that's technically making a new disc, if you have the original release, the wii u installs updates virtually under a different title (0005000E instead of 00050000) and the Wii U maps those new files and code over the ones on the disc when the game loads, which is how it's "updated", everything's still mapped to /vol but it just loads the new stuff instead of the old stuff when the filesystem asks for it, that'd be like going from Mario Kart 8 revision A with 4.1.0 or w/e to revision C with 5.4.0, just rebuilding the game with the latest files and putting it back into a disc
