I have a simple question here. When I was here long, long ago, I remember there were issues with compressing Wii ISO's, they would be corrupted when compressing. Is it safe now to compress all of my files without having to redump them each for 2 hours long? :X And if I decompress it, it's like the original game? (same CRC?).

Copy the iso file and try to compress one of them.

First attempt: saved 1 gb...
decompress...crash XD
well with wii games they are scrubbed first, then compressed but when you decompress they are only decompressed, the extra data that was scrubbed away won't come back. And i always compress my wii games so it's safe

So if I use wiiscrubber with the decompressed file to unscrub it's basically the original?
when the game was compressed to .gcz ,it's will never back to original iso no matter what tools you decompress

Compressing/decompressing should work 100% perfectly
