Can somebody tell me how to shrink the real size ISOs to smaller size and still be compatible with Dolphin? Is there a PC (or Mac) program that can do that?
How to shrink ISOs?

Right click on the game in the emulators game list and select "compress iso".

OK - I found it. I didn't see it first as I did not set the paths to my ISOs directory but started the ISOs manually...

Shouldn't affect speed.

you will want to compress ALL iso's and then delete the originals ... and if you need the originals for whatever reason you can uncompress

Try Wii Backup Manager to see the possible percentage of compression.
It's not really compressing is it? You're just removing all the "garbage" data so the file will be the game's real size.

If i remember correctly it does both for Wii games, while for the Gamecube games only compresses, since there is only empty space without garbage data. A developer will know better. But speed at least with my cpu is not affected at all in any game from the compression. |
