This tool allows you to inject SNES game backups in *.smc / *.sfc to official "new" Wii Virtual Console WADs of SNES games which ROM file uses LZ77 type 0x11 compression, used on most new Wii VC WADs. I made this tool because I saw newer emulators of Wii VC of SNES sometimes have better emulation than old ones that didn't use any kind of compression. I've also known that SNES SA-1 Chip games on VC also used LZ77 type 0x11 compression on its ROM.
Special thanks to @stev418, @lolsjoel and also to @0RANGECHiCKEN (for the SNES injection on new Wii VC WADs info), fxxkmii and @alpha0000 (for the wwPacker and wwcxtool tools), @icefireicefire (for the u8it tool from WADder), Superken7 (for FreeTheWads tool), @torito21 and BFGR (for their WAD tools), @Zorg1996 (for the big Wii VC injection support to me) for the help and also for pushing me to make this tool.
