GBAtemp Exclusive: WiiScrubber
Remove garbage files to reduce ISO size

Member Dack of GBAtemp.net has released a very useful tool. WiiScrubber v1.0 allows you to 'scrub' away the garbage data of Wii ISOs and in most cases drastically reduces the size of the ISO. However this is not just for smaller storage, the ISOs still work on the Wii AFTER being compressed. Download below!

Things are starting to get better and better in the Wii scene...

BoneMonkey · Feb 22, 2008

wow very useful indeed

lets see those games shrink !

Opium · Feb 22, 2008

Brilliant tool. Just what the scene needs

rdurbin · Feb 22, 2008

Really nice, all we need now is a multi game dvd maker thing for people that dont want to use 1 dvd per game.

Opium · Feb 22, 2008

Geometry Wars Galaxies shrinks to around 600MB and Zack and Wiki shrinks to 2.2GB.

Very handy indeed.

Anyone try this with Dairantou Smash Bros X?

I doubt there would be little if any garbage data, but it would be nice to shrink it down to a standard dvd.

lookout · Feb 22, 2008

yeeeah!, save me time download and space drive....

Why do you think that they put it on a double layer dvd? Probably because it didn't fit on a single layer disc, right...

I was running around in the discussion thread but I might as well post here too.
Nice work Dack, hope this becomes standard.

LordMelkor · Feb 22, 2008

I dont really see a practical use for this besides storage on a computer/other storage medium. In terms of burned games it's not like you can play multigame disks (or can you??), and like Snick mentioned it's not useful for shrinking dual layer disks, afterall why would they pay to use dual layer disks of all the data fits on a single layer.

Nekobibu · Feb 22, 2008

That is most excellent! Congrats!

hanndn · Feb 22, 2008

excite truck is 836MB but when i create a new compressed iso wiiscrubber make a 4,37GB iso, the same of the original

Teams that dump games can now shrink the games before they release them.
A 300 MB iso is much faster to upload and download than a 4.5 GB one that's full of garbage

Click to expand...

Not quite sure on that part. I remember God of War for PS2 could go for single layer. Was just a bunch of dummy data or something.

Cyan · Feb 22, 2008

Great job Dack

Now, which scene group will use it first ?

For those how didn't understood yet, this tool is not used to shrink the Iso size so the data to burn is smaller.
It's a tool to replace garbaged and crypted data unused on the Iso file. The resulting ISO is the SAME SIZE as the original, it's just the data which differs, allowing the RARs to better compress the file to be released by the scene/store them on your computer with less size.

tjas · Feb 22, 2008

If the release groups use it ofcourse...

chadtheyakuza · Feb 22, 2008

When I first read the headline and saw the pic I thought it was a disc cleaner you guys were going to sell lol. But cool reducing the size of images sounds great. Scrub that garbage clean!
