NKit documentation is WIP, once released this documentation will be fleshed out and cover as much as possible...
Overview
NKit is a Nintendo ToolKit that can Recover and Preserve Wii and GameCube disc images
Recovery is the ability to rebuild source images to match the known good images verified by Redump
Preserve is the ability to shrink any image and convert it back to the source iso
NKit can convert to ISO and NKit format. The NKit format is designed to shrink an image to it's smallest while ensuring it can be restored back to the original source data. NKit images are also playable by Dolphin
Key Uses
- Unscrub/Rebuild Wii/GC images from scene/scrubbed/wbfs(file)/iso.dec/iso/gcz to match Redump good images
- Convert Wii/GC images to NKit format (small, playable, reversible) - with optional gcz compression
- Preserve and shrink Scrubbed and Custom images
- Preserve Wii images with controlled removal of update partition
Recovery
- Recover scrubbed, scene images to match Redump verified images
Preservation - NKit Format
- Convert Redump, Hacks, Scrubbed images to NKit format and back to the original iso data
Features
- Read the above images from Rar/Zip/7zip etc
- GC nkit format CRC matches source image CRC
- GC nkit format can be gcz un/compressed by the included apps
- GC nkit format aligns audio and tgc files to 32k for playability
- Rename restored images to match Redump dat crc
- Rename restored images to match a secondary Redump compatible dat crc
