I recently dumped all of my GameCube Discs using CleanRip on a homebrew'd Wii. All of the ISOs are 1.35 GB. I'm wondering if it's possible to compress them in such a way that the original file can easily be reconstructed AND the compressed file is compatible with Dolphin Emulator. Additionally, since I have a lot of them, it would be ideal if it could compress all of the ISOs at once (such as with a command-line utility).

Does such a tool exist? If so, what is it?

There's actually a new tool called NKit, which should fit your criteria perfectly. It can compress games to the smallest possible size while still maintaining playability in emulators (and hardware on the GC, too!)

There's a command line version, which should let you convert everything at once in any given path.

https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/NKit/UserGuide < here's a user guide with more info on that.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just tried it out and it works flawlessly. I'm able to play the compressed versions in Dolphin and recover the original ISOs perfectly with no issues. Thank you!

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
