Wii Scrubber v1.0/v1.0a released!

[PS3 News]

Dack has released a very useful tool. WiiScrubber v1.0 allows you to 'scrub' away the garbage data of Wii ISOs and in most cases drastically reduces the size of the ISO. However this is not just for smaller storage, the ISOs still work on the Wii AFTER being compressed. Source code is included as well.

Update: Changes from 1.0 to 1.0a:

1. Way of scrubbing changed slightly so that the sector crypto header is left
unchanged. This makes it a bit more difficult to detect but lessens the compressability.
2. Disc Filename display corrected so titles like MoH2 show correctly

From the ReadMe:

This is first release of an application I've been playing with. It allows you to: 1. open up the WII iso's and extract individual files from them 2. Change the iso so that unused areas are overwritten with 0xFFs. This has the effect of then making the ISO compressable You need: You will need a copy of the ubiquitous "key.bin" in the same directory. You should not need to install any extra runtime files. A descrambled wii iso Plenty of disc space A fair bit of time. How to use: Copy the key.bin file to the same directory as the exe. (included) Load the software. Load the ISO file by clicking on the 'load iso' button What the program is doing appears in the bottom window Disc filelist appears in the top window as a standard treelist Name of game and size of the data on the disc appears in top right How to extract files: Only one at a time at present In the treelist click on a file to select Right click the mouse button Select 'Save' from the popup menu The fields on the filename shown are: name, partition, Offset into decrypted file, Filesize How to scrub the disc: Click on the clean and save button This creates a copy of the loaded ISO with the same name but (compress) appended to the name before the .ISO part (so SPM.ISO would become SPM(compress).ISO). You still need 4.5 Gig of storage at this point but can specify which ddrive etc. to save it on Compressing this image should give you a figure close to the size of data detailed earlier

Dack has updated the popular WiiScrubber to fix the problem with Mario Kart Wii not being able to install the Mario Kart Channel.

The new version allows the unscrubbing of files with a special .dif file for the ISO in question. Restoring Mario Kart to its original state will fix the Mario Kart channel not being able to install.

Wiiscrubber 1.1 - BETA Updated release of an application I've been playing with. Whats new? 1. Allows for creation of DIF files to allow unscrubbing of data 2. Allows for merging of scrubbed and dif files to produce original ISO 3. Also works on gamecube discs but probably still better to use GC Tools 4. Display of region and number of files in disc 5. Key.bin verification - to stop the 150Meg files 6. 4.5 Gig limit removed - now at Dual layer 7. Different scrubbing options available See below 8. registry saves for chosen options 9. If you don't have the key.bin you can still unscrub Bug fixes: 1. Release version bug now corrected thanks to Juster. a freed pointer was accessed just after being freed. 2. Several text display bugs cleared. 3. File size now checked during processing so that ALL of the ISO is copied) 4. Gamecube offsets now correctly accessed (they are different as they are not encrypted so you have the full 32k in each block) 5. I actually check for file read/write errors It allows you to: 1. open up the WII iso's and extract individual files from them 2. Change the iso so that unused areas are overwritten with 0xFF/0s. This has the effect of then making the ISO compressable You need: You will need a copy of the ubiquitous "key.bin" in the same directory. You should not need to install any extra runtime files. A descrambled wii iso Plenty of disc space A fair bit of time.

Dack has updated his Wiiscrubber program. WiiScrubber is used to shrink a Wii iso's filesize when compressed.

In this new version, ISOs can be compressed smaller. There are a few other changes, as well as some bug fixes. See the changelog below for more information.

What's new? 1. Smaller compressed sizes possible as a bug fix was marking data that wasn't actually used. 2. Allows for replacement of files on the ISO -i.e Right click LOAD menu works 3. Allows for replacement of files larger than the original 4. Auto Trucha signs if a file is replaced Bug fixes: 1. Another 32/64 bit error meant that I was marking data used that wasn't. This saves about an extra 100-200 Meg from an image. 2. Few display errors corrected 3. A 32/64 error meant some files could not be extracted correctly Thanks to Waninkoko for releasing the source of the WiiFrii code as it allowed me to implement the Trucha bits.

From Dack, via the ReadMe file:

*sigh* Just couldn't leave it alone version. Lots of changes, some subtle, some not so. Whats new? 1. ticket.bin is displayed under the partition.bin breakout 2. cert.bin and tmd.bin can now be different sizes 3. Extra button for Trimming an ISO - this makes an ISO slightly larger than the indicated data size - USES TRUCHA 4. Confirmation window on Shrinking partition 5. Proper Korean key support so can open and scrub/trim/extract/replace Korean ISOs 7. Deleted the 'force Wii' option as I followed the advice of Marcan 8. Partition support corrected due to a Wii limitation on Primary partition (you can only have three partitions in the primary. To paraphrase Star Wars "Many verbatims died to bring you this information"). 9. Can save/load/import crypted partitions making replacement much quicker 10. Full 4 partition offset support 11. Partition titles displayed in the window.
