I couldn't find a guide how to dump the saves from a real GameCube memory card. MayImilae ( talk) 08:13, 29 April 2015 (CEST) Dump Real GameCube Memory Card Saves Guide? Even with disclaimers, just telling users how to do is is encouragement, and I think that's a bad idea. The only way for us to know if something is dolphin or their dump is to eliminate the dump as a possible error, and that means their dump needs to be a valid uncompressed ISO. It usually will be ok, but often it isn't, and since the dumping process itself is already messy and error-prone, I don't really think it's appropriate to guide users to something that can compound those problems. Most compression techniques work by stripping data from ISOs. So should a guide exist how to compress disc images, and if so, should Dolphin only method be mentioned? - Wildgoosespeeder ( talk) 07:34, 29 April 2015 (CEST) I don't really think it's appropriate to guide users to compression tools. I guess it would need to have a warning if someone were to use the GCMUtility method that some GCMUtility-compressed disc images have issues vs. I see three methods to rip game discs to images so I don't see why we can't have more than just the Dolphin compress option available, if there will exist a guide to compress disc images. The Wii in GameCube mode froze the same way as Dolphin did. I just tested the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc image compressed with GCMUtility through DIOS-MIOS on Wii. However, if you guys really want to add an optional section for ISO compressing, I think it should use Dolphin built-in GCZ compressor only instead of GCMUtility or other 3rd party tool - GCZ is reliable (never caused issues to any title as far as I know) and also works with Wii ISOs. I disagree using 3rd party tools, this can flood Dolphin forums with users that got random issues because they screwed their ISOs with 3rd party tools. Wildgoosespeeder ( talk) 00:37, 29 April 2015 (CEST) Have to test it on my real Wii using DIOS-MIOS to be sure it is GCMUtility or Dolphin. Not sure if it is the fault of GCMUtility or Dolphin. Noted as the first test I performed with GCMUtility caused Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc to hang when loading the Jirachi mode. I recall the shrinking performed by that tool caused problems for a sub-set of titles, though I can't remember the details.
Should the guide be extended (as an optional step) to compress GCMs/ISOs using GCMUtility? - Wildgoosespeeder ( talk) 07:50, 28 April 2015 (CEST)
