Thanks for the report! I reeeaaally hope that that was done by the group and not the developers.it compressed well coz its multiple copies of the same piece of garbage..surprise surprise.. this could be interesting though
if you search for 6F 32 BF 5C E8 D0 9A 17 you'll see the pattern...
Wow it's a major breaktrough ! Major Breaktrough !! (sorry how I met your mother...)it compressed well coz its multiple copies of the same piece of garbage..surprise surprise.. this could be interesting though

Just tested on PAL wii with wiikey 1.9g and NOT WORKING. Locks on black screen at boot (tried 50hz and 60hz)

Yup. PC and 360 versions are identical (even their size at roughly 80MB) and you can crank up the resolution real high. I really can't go back to the DS version anymore...
Great game, but the AI cheats!Â
Then you clearly don't understand the point of encryption and compression.What are you guys talking about lol. This is just basic WinRAR compression. If there's a lot of dummy data in a game, it'll be compressed a lot, the release group obviously didn't hack anything... This has been around for like forever, I remember Vagrant Story for PSX being like 90 MB when compressed.
The fact that this iso compresses well is a sign that the encryption process is not as efficient as it should be,
No it isn't. Most likely they just duplicated their entire game until the disk was full. The game is probably just 250MB big.
and one can (it's more sci-fi than a real fact) exploit this to break the compression.

I don't know why it's so difficult to understand, but the encryption used on wii disks "should not" encrypt the same way same data at different locations until they are using a very small block size. Just think of it, take a file called A of length n and create a new file with A then A then n zero bytes, and another file with A then n zero bytes then A. Then computes CRC (which are a very lossy encryption...) they are not the same ! It's really a rough analogy but real encryption will not encrypt ten blocks of A with ten blocks of encrypted A !

Good luck with that. Call me in a billion years when you've cracked it.
Or perhaps it's already been done?The fact that this iso compresses well is a sign that the encryption process is not as efficient as it should be, and one can (it's more sci-fi than a real fact) exploit this to break the compression.
