Haven't messed around with Xbox 360/PS3 ISO's but they are out there. WiiU uses some weird file formats for eShop games I haven't looked into too much. Archiving nerds will need to make tough choices, there. On the Wii specifically, discs are filled with algorithmically (sp?) generated garbage data, so they are difficult to compress without trimming. Encrypted 3DS dumps end up being about 1TB, I think.įormats start to get weird from the Wii on up. Gamecube is 1-2TB uncompressed for everything. Once you move into the PS1, you start looking at >1TB for each region uncompressed. da rules.įor anyone who is curious, though, these 40GB figures you keep seeing are for all ROM's from the mid-90's and below. Questionable posting about any of this stuff here - definitely dancing on the line w.r.t. While I would agree trimming is pointless, especially if also compressing (so many times most of the compression gains are the trimmed section) here for the Wii it could serve a greater purpose and if done properly not trouble any existing device, and likely not any future one that people will care about. You might also want to contemplate the nature of Wii scrubbing if you are going that path. Not to mention many games there will need redumps if you want archival grade - for the sake of my sanity I am not going to contemplate the 50000 iso formats that the PS1 era saw (nrg, clonecd, cdrwin, straight iso, cue+bin.) for too long and instead look at the original xbox where a lot of things were cut down for size, or reconstructed from hard drive dumps. Probably not so much that any one system can not be handled by home storage, albeit one that will see you have to learn the fundamentals of proper data storage (it will be a proper array for probably at least the next 8 years and even then it will be on the ragged edge).
