wiiscrubber 1.30

The latest and final release of WiiScrubber 1.30 was just released a few days ago by its developer Dack. Use WiiScrubber to prepare any Wii or GameCube ISO for compression to trim its disk space. By replacing unused portions of the full disk image with the same bit, it allows a compression tool to offer better compression and make the file smaller. Scrubbing an ISO is always useful if you’re sending or sharing an ISO with other people or for personal backup storage purposes as normally each ISO is 4.7GB. It also allows you to extract and replace files within an ISO image. WiiScrubber 1.30 comes with a list of new improvements:

Extra options on right click menu related to partition operations (you can now delete them and resize the data area)
Increased speed of file replacement by blocking it (and progress bar)
More accurate indication of size as headers are now included in calculation and dynamically considered when header button pressed
Extra option on right click for WIIDISC as it allows for changing between system boot and normal boot
Common key check possible to over-ride in case Korean key becomes available
Can now replace the partition.bin file
Can add data partitions/channels
Can ’shuffle’ up the partitions to the start of the disc for where some have been deleted – doesn’t use Trucha bug
Can Shrink the partition by moving the data up in the partition (meaning all the free space then appears at the end – Uses Trucha Bug
Can save a decoded partition
Can load/replace a decoded partition
Can import a new disc partition
Can resize a partition
Can cater for discs that have non-standard disc IDs by using the ‘force wii’ check box e.g. iso_template.iso.bz2
Can extract/replace the sub parts of partition.bin i.e. tmd.bin, cert.bin and h3.bin

Steps to Run WiiScrubber

Download WiiScrubber 1.30 and extract the files
Run “MakeKeyBin.exe” and enter “42″ as instructed and then click “GENERATE.” to create the key.bin file necessary to run WiiScrubber. (Don’t ask me why Dack didn’t just give it to you).
Click “Load ISO” and browse to the ISO image you want to prep for compression.
Scrub the ISO. The process takes about half an hour.
After the ISO is scrubbed compress it as a RAR or 7-Zip for best results.

For more details on the tool check out the documentation that comes with the WiiScrubber package.

How small does an iso file go when you scrub or compress it?

I’ve seen as low as a few hundred megabytes, depending on how (un)complicated the game is.

>>(Don’t ask me why Dack didn’t just give it to you).

Perhaps he is a fan of Douglas Adams’ “Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy”. In this book series 42 is the answer to “Life, The Universe, and Everything”

  Or it could just be the fact that giving out a key.bin file is illegal.

I’ve injected a more appropriate icon into the WiiScrubber executable. It’s a solid piece of software and I felt it needed an icon that reflected that quality. Send me an email if you’d like me to share it with you.

If I have a 7 GB game can I shrink the ISO to fit on a 4.7 GB DVD so that I can play the back up with out burning it to a DL DVD?

Thanks
