Historically, Wii games were ripped from their physical optical discs into standard .iso files. However, a standard dual-layer or single-layer Wii disc image takes up exactly 4.37 GB of data, regardless of how much actual game data is on the disc. For example, a game that only contains 500 MB of actual assets would still require a 4.37 GB ISO file because the rest of the space is filled with useless "dummy data" or padding. A WBFS archive solves this storage inefficiency completely. Why Use the WBFS Format?
