Hi everyone!

I see when unrared some isos only cost hundreds of MB, while some other cost constantly 1.36GB. But when I compress them they have a very small size. So I guess there is dump data in them. Do we have a tool to trim it?

It is so annoying because I have to compress each one of them to save space, and have to decompress one of them before I can play.

You can compress gamecube games by right clicking them in dolphin's game list. You can also select more than one at a time to compress.
After compressing to .gcz format, they'll be small AND playable by dolphin.

Note that this does not support Wii games at the moment.

Oh thank you very much! Poor me not finding that out. Tongue
But how can I decompress them back in case I need to burn them on DVDs? Blush

The compression is 100% safe and does not destroy any parts of the game itself ?
