Version 1.4
Version 1.3
Version 1.2
Version 1.1
Version 1.0
A lot of effort has gone in to ensuring this version is as stable and reliable as possible. The NKit Format is stable and reliable. Always use FullVerify as it's always accurate as are the Hashes when CalculateHashes is on. Please report any issues and ask any questions.
First stable version
- Recovery: Rebuild and repair images to match Redump verified images. This is aided by use of Recovery files that can be extracted from good sources. Recovery uses these files to rebuild the iso and repair modified disc headers, unscrub blocks, reinsert missing Wii partitions, move and reorder GameCube filesystems
- Convert: Converts anything as is. When converting to the NKit Format the source data is preserved so that it can be restored back to the source iso
