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:

1. Extra options on right click menu related to partition operations (you can now delete them and resize the data area)
2. Increased speed of file replacement by blocking it (and progress bar)
3. More accurate indication of size as headers are now included in calculation and dynamically considered when header button pressed
4. Extra option on right click for WIIDISC as it allows for changing between system boot and normal boot
5. Common key check possible to over-ride in case Korean key becomes available
6. Can now replace the partition.bin file
7. Can add data partitions/channels
8. Can ’shuffle’ up the partitions to the start of the disc for where some have been deleted - doesn’t use Trucha bug
9. 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
10. Can save a decoded partition
11. Can load/replace a decoded partition
12. Can import a new disc partition
13. Can resize a partition
14. Can cater for discs that have non-standard disc IDs by using the ‘force wii’ check box e.g. iso_template.iso.bz2
15. Can extract/replace the sub parts of partition.bin i.e. tmd.bin, cert.bin and h3.bin

Steps to Run WiiScrubber

1. Download WiiScrubber 1.30 and extract the files
2. 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 my why Dack didn’t just give it to you).

3. Click “Load ISO” and browse to the ISO image you want to prep for compression.
4. Scrub the ISO. The process takes about half an hour.
5. 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.
