    Hacking WIA = Wii ISO Archive

    The WIA format developed by Wiim is probably the most underestimated Wii format. It is the ultimate storage solution for backing up your games and doesn't require extraction to access the disc image's contents. And contrary to what Foxi4 said here you can choose if you want to make an intact...

    Hacking WIA = Wii ISO Archive

    Most of Wiim's formats are unsupported by many applications, which is a real shame because they're all really useful and interesting. I myself backed up all my Wii games with CleanRip and stored them as WIA. You can't use your games if they're in WIA format because the compression is too heavy...

    Wii #XXXX - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (USA)

    Game data amounts to ~4GB. Garbage data is roughly 400MB. Agreed. Why you hiding in a jungle?

    Wii #XXXX - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (USA)

    Game weighs 3GBs compressed as a WIA file without scrubbing the garbage data. Wish scene releasers would use WIA instead.

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader

    Before copying your to the external hard drive, ALWAYS verify their integrity with WIM's ISO Tools. You can always check to see if your backup is damaged or if it was ripped incorrectly. It's a crying shame that hardly anybody makes good use of this tool... crying shame. All my personal backups...

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader

    Thanks guys for all your answers. I've decided on leaving it as default which should be PAL. Either way I haven't had any issues so far but if I do I'll be sure to post back.

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader

    I have an NTSC tv that displays up to 1080p and my Wii is hooked up thru component cables allowing for 480p display. All good rite? Game in mention is Xenoblade Chronicles btw.

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader

    I have a quick region compatibility question: I have a NTSC Wii. I'm playing a PAL game. I'm using the "Game's Default Region" for the display. Should I change it to force NTSC? Or will nothing bad happen if I leave it at default?

    Mythologies in Gaming

    In my opinion, the strongest and richest lores I've seen are in Mass Effect, WarCraft and Legacy of Kain. I seriously love plot twists and these three have that in abundance.

    Hacking wwt+wit: Wiimms WBFS+ISO Tools

    Hi. I've been using WIT frequently to dump disc contents (FMVs mainly) and now recently to backup my games to WIA and without scrubbing. At first I thought I was making 1:1 backups by setting -psel RAW but I noticed that the garbage data that scrubbing takes care of is still intact. Isn't there...

    Hacking Want to create a self-contained Super Smash Bros Brawl+ disc

    Yeah, having it all laid out like that makes the project seem too complicated. My expectations were about using a few tools to get the job done without so much hassle. Coding is just too deep for me. Thanks for making it clear tho.

    Hacking Want to create a self-contained Super Smash Bros Brawl+ disc

    Hey giantpune! Thx for reading this. It still sounds a bit technical but I'm understanding a bit more now. I know I can simply replace the source material with the modified files on the SD (I was thinking of using WIT for that). What I have no clue as to what to do is about the Ocarina codes...

    Hacking Want to create a self-contained Super Smash Bros Brawl+ disc

    Hmmm... sounds like something way over my head. Has anybody done it before or discussed it in more user-friendly detail?
