Junk Data it's preserved

Why I used the default compression settings?

"RVZ with the default settings achieves the most optimal balance between compression ratio and playability. Or if you want to save as much space as possible, RVZ with LZMA2 compression at the maximum level.

(just make sure you don't use RVZ with a too big block size, otherwise you'll experience stutters when the game seeks data from the disc -- if unsure, keep the default 128 KB block size)"

RVZ (Modern Dolphin format) - GC/Wii

The Dolphin team developed a new compression format based on WIA called RVZ. Unlike all the previous formats, RVZ is lossless and can preserve the padding data on Wii discs as well as the necessary files needed by the Wii's IOS. Usage is very similar to GCZ in Dolphin itself, but it only works on newer Dolphin versions.

Keeping the junk data it's important for the preservation sake, but if you intend to play on the real hardware, you're better off converting to ISO with junk data removed.

Everything I've checked in dolphin runs great. I've converted a few to iso/wbfs to load on hardware and they run as they should, and isos check out on redump's latest dat.

@ChadMaster Thank you so much for uploading this set in RVZ. It must have taken forever to convert everything. Your efforts are really appreciated!
