Yes, it has essentially the same effect, with some minor differences such as most WBFS writers excluding the update partition unlike Dolphin.

The reason why conversion from WBFS to ISO hasn't been added is because WBFS doesn't store the size of the ISO. Dolphin would have to use some kind of heuristic to essentially guess how large is supposed to be. If it wasn't for that, converting from WBFS to ISO would already be working.

As for why conversion from ISO to WBFS hasn't been added... Well, nobody seems to be interested in writing the code for it, and I know I'm personally not interested because WBFS is the worst possible format to store disc images in from a preservation perspective and is also the second worst format when it comes to playability problems, only behind NKit.

Would it be possible to choose to launch Dolphin on Windows with the Android TV UI ?
It would help immensely with couch gaming and I would only need to launch Dolphin from Steam Big Picture instead of adding each game with Steam Rom Manager.

Also, Thanks for this perfect piece of software .

No, unfortunately the Android TV UI is coded in a way that makes it only work on Android. Adding a similar interface to non-Android versions of Dolphin would require a complete rewrite of the interface.

Not really an urgent request, but it would be nice to see the compression level alongside the block size for WIA/RVZ games. This would make it easier to verify that your games are compressed to the correct, or max, level in Dolphin, instead of using an external Hex editor and searching for the value manually.

Adding the ability to build extracted iso's back into isos would be epic, as it would allow certain code mods to be non riivolution dependant.

I'd like a Release file for Focal (20.04) on the PPA, now that it's released. (Then again, the page on Launchpad claims to be unofficial builds, yet is referred to by the download page on the main site via a wiki page... Hmm...)

Per-game graphics, audio, controller, and advanced configuration. For example, I want to play Sonic Colours at 60fps, so I have to overclock the emulated CPU to keep it at a stable 60fps, but this breaks or speeds up other games. Mario Sunshine doesn't play nice with scaled EFB Copy, but it's useful to almost every other game. This would be the use case, basically. Different games require different settings, and it is very tedious to memorize / look up and apply the changes.

Dolphin has had per-game configs for years. Not sure how up to date this thread is, but it should give you an idea.

I didn't even know it can be done like that. Huh. I'll change my request then. My previous post but with a UI configurator. Leaves 0 room for user error at making the config, and makes the emulator easier to use, because this way, you don't have to mess around with making custom config files.

We've talked about this for a while and there was always a question on how this could be done cleanly. But I think yuzu's recent change shows that it is possible. We probably need to move to a unified UI menu though.
