If there is a single champion of high-performance compression for the Dolphin emulator, it is the format. Developed by the Dolphin team in 2020, RVZ is not just another compressed file; it represents a fundamental rethinking of how to handle GameCube and Wii disc images [2†L10-L11][12†L24-L25]. Before we explore its benefits, here's a quick overview of how to handle these files within the emulator.
