Re: Nkit 1.3

Ah, that explains the better compression. To save the most space I've dropped update partitions too, though that makes the Redump restore harder. I'm worried beginners with USB Loaders will be lost but I'm willing to give .nkit.iso games a trial. The size difference is too big to ignore.

It'll take a couple weeks to process everything so I kicked it off last night.

The reason Wii NKit games compress so well is because unlike wbfs they're unhashed and decrypted. Wii games need to be hashed and encrypted to work on hardware. It's a choice between saving a ton of space and bandwidth and having the end user have to do a little work, or using wbfs like you are and the end user doing no extra work.
