i have a simple question...

does dolphin rip isos 1:1? or does it rip some things off...

because my new mario bros went from 4,5 gb to 370 MB ! is that possible without ripping it?

Impossible is nothing Tongue.

For just the wii games there is ripping, but of data which is garbage. Meaning that by decompressing them they won't be an exact copy of the original, but then again they won't be missing any game data either. They will be missing just random data that fill the disks. So practically no wii game is altered the slightest by compressing it with dolphin. For gamecube games there is absolutely no ripping. Use compression without fear Big Grin.
this will give me a lot of free space on my hard disks ^^

thanks a lot..
