RVZ is a compressed game file format introduced by the Dolphin emulator team in 2020. It was designed specifically for GameCube and Wii games as an improvement over previous compression formats. RVZ files compress game data to significantly reduce file size while maintaining complete game integrity—they are fully lossless and retain all original game data, including padding data on Wii discs and necessary files for the Wii's IOS.

Unlike older formats, RVZ preserves the original disc’s cryptographic hashes, meaning the emulator knows the dump is 100% accurate. Why You Might Need an ISO

To understand the necessity of conversion, one must first understand the nature of the RVZ format. Developed specifically for Dolphin, RVZ is a lossless disc image format. Its primary advantage over a standard ISO is its ability to compress game data significantly—often shrinking massive Wii disc images to a fraction of their original size—while simultaneously preserving critical metadata. Crucially, RVZ is "scrubbing-friendly" yet preserves the integrity of the game data better than its predecessor, the GCZ format. It is tailored for the specific architecture of GameCube and Wii discs, handling the unique block sizes and "junk data" (padding) inherent to these media types efficiently.
