Mario Party 8 Wbfs

While the format is fantastic for old-school USB loaders on the Wii, the emulation community is shifting toward RVZ (Dolphin's native format). RVZ compresses games even smaller than WBFS (Mario Party 8 can hit 400MB) while retaining checksums. However, RVZ does not work on real Wii hardware. For a pure Wii console, WBFS remains the king.
