Hacking Ciso, iso, or wbfs

[1234turtles]

Im trying to make my wii back ups as small as possible. So i was wondering, which format is the smallest?

Well I just converted a 4GB Twilight Princess ISO to WBFS and I was shocked to see it was only about 1GB. So WBFS in my opinion.

fat32 and .wbfs files is best because also u can store almost all homebrew on your drive as well.

if you want to load it on the wii use .wbfs
if you only want to keep them as backup wiimms wit has some better formats

for only backup use wia: http://wit.wiimm.de/info/wia.html

The best compression at all is:
1.) convert it with --wia=none
2.) compress it with the best compression tool you find (try 7zip first).

wbfs, wia and cios all have good compressions. They really are not going to differ to where its going to matter.

Format your drive to fat32, and use isotowbfs to convert your files. Unless you are just dumping your games in a usb loader.
Configureable usb loader or usb loader gx is what you want.
