I know it scrubs it. I was planning on leaving it as a gcz since I mothballed my Wiis. I was thinking that having a built in MD5 that would hash the non-tag data would be useful. A better idea for hashes would be for it to hash the internal files of the iso instead and store those in the meta tag. I'm guessing the md5 hash was just a nice idea to be able to handle it from the inside of dolphin for a quick check. I use total commander so I can make hashes and save them as .md5 files for the iso. I'm just interested in a better method. I'm always looking for a better way to keep data safe. I don't expect for these changes, more like a "Why isn't it?"
