Now unlike scrubbed ISOs, it actually needs a bit of extra CPU to actually decompress, so for all I know support may only be practical on vWii if it also takes advantage of the Wii U's extra CPU grunt and/or cores (I recall early Wii U homebrew attempts unlocking all three cores in Wii mode running at 729MHz).
But according to the Dolphin devs, the real bottleneck is likely memory.

RVZ is a new lossless format by the Dolphin devs, and I'm wondering just how possible would it be to have support for it?
