Dolphin RVZ/ISO Conversion Scripts

Capability: Dolphin RVZ/ISO Conversion Scripts

Use it when

  • Your GameCube and Wii ISO library is eating disk space and you want batch conversion to RVZ, the lossless compressed format Dolphin reads natively
  • You need to extract RVZ files back to plain ISO in bulk for tools or workflows that only accept ISO

What it solves

Not the fit when

  • Other console formats such as CHD for PS2 or PS1
  • Systems without PowerShell (Windows-oriented; PowerShell Core needed elsewhere)
  • Anything beyond format conversion; it does not download, patch, or manage ROMs
  • media-transcript-quality
  • install-path-confusion

Install

Download Convert_ISO_to_RVZ.ps1 and Extract_RVZ_to_ISO.ps1 (or the .bat variants) from the repo's latest release, and obtain DolphinTool.exe from the Dolphin emulator download package; requires Windows PowerShell or cross-platform PowerShell Core

Invoke

Edit the variables block at the top of the script (DolphinTool path, input/output directories, recursion, compression format lzma2/zstd/bzip, level, block size), then run the .ps1 and wait for the batch conversion to complete
