Trim Your Wii Disc smaller size than compress/scrub - admin89 - 02-08-2010
First I begin with all wii game ,yes you must have a legal wii disc in order to do that.When i Try to trim Wii iso ,for example,New SMB true size is 366 MB after i trim is 348.1MB
The only problem is the save game won't work i mean it will save in the different folder ,only the banner work(but some game not work too)
Game after trim make it more playable?
Yes only a few game won't work without trim
Minigame(Wii game small size like 76 MB) it asked for my SD card then i set dolphin "insert SD card" but it won't work so I continue without save game
My Question : Where is the trimed wii iso save,I open wii save folder and see nothing but the banner but when i play the game the save file still there

Trimming is retarded and I'd love to never support trimmed ISOs.
However there's already an issue about it on the tracker; It'll get fixed sometime.

wiiscrubber gets rid of a partition. That's why some saves dont' work. Dolphin's compressor does a much better job. Unfortunately, it isn't in a iso/burnable format for real wiis.

so that I could burn it as a disk and play it from a smaller medium like cd-r. Oh well. My hdd is big enough.

nope. I'd like to burn my backups to a cd-r because I have a lot of them and play it on the comp.
