The U8 Update
WiiExplorer now supports U8 files
U8 files are more commonly found in Wii Games that use the G3D system (Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros Wii, etc.)
All functionality of RARC Files has been applied to U8 archives, (With the exception of File Settings because U8 files do not have that)
Tested games:
- Mario Kart Wii - Fully functional (YAZ0 encoding with WiiExplorer gives a smaller file than SZSTools)
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii - WiiExplorer doesn't give any errors, so it should work but I didn't test it
When making a new archive, you can pick between making a U8 archive and a RARC Archive. This cannot be changed anytime after the archive has been made.
Users who have scripts from previous versions of WiiExplorer do not have to edit the scripts. The archive format will be RARC by default, and a new U8 parameter has been added for making a new archive. (Example: `WiiExplorer --pack -u8 C:/Folder)
Converting a RARC to U8 (And Vice Versa)
- Step 1: Export all files to a new folder
- Step 2: Make a New Archive with the format you want and import the folder
This works both ways
