A PC tool for compressing WUD (Wii U images/dumps) to WUX format. It works by identifying duplicate sectors and storing them only once, removing empty ranges and retaining only those containing file or filesystem data. Despite its simplicity, the algorithm is highly efficient, often reducing the size of images by more than 50%.

It is lossless, meaning that compressing and then decompressing a file will result in the same data without any loss. Unlike tools such as WiiScrubber, this does not modify the data.

Here are some examples of size reduction achieved by the tool (based on an uncompressed size of 23.3GB):

  • Super Mario World 3D: 2.61GB (20.69GB saved)
  • DKC Tropical Freeze: 11.7GB (11.6GB saved)
  • Zelda WW HD: 2.70GB (20.7GB saved)
  • Darksiders 2: 9.43GB (13.87GB saved)
  • Mario Party 10: 4.01GB (19.29GB saved)

User guide

The easiest way to use the tool is to just drag the file you want to compress/decompress onto the executable.
