RVZStudio 2.5.0 is the first cross-platform release: the WPF/Windows-only application has been
rebuilt on Avalonia UI and now runs on Windows, Linux and macOS on both x64 and ARM64.

Highlights

  • Cross-platform UI — the same application now ships for Windows, Linux and macOS, and
    automatically locates the platform-specific helper executables.
  • Native RVZSharp engine — the built-in RVZSharp
    library is now the primary engine for encoding, decoding and verification (100% managed codecs),
    with DolphinTool as an automatic fallback. Input files are pre-validated against their real
    container magic bytes so invalid data is never wrapped into a broken RVZ.
  • Disc Explorer tab — browse the file system of ISO, RVZ, WIA, GCZ, CISO, WBFS, TGC and NFS
    images without extracting them; copy files/folders out and compute per-file SHA-256 hashes. The
    log viewer is hidden while this tab is active so the tree gets the full width.
  • Archive extraction with 7za fallback — ZIP, 7Z and RAR archives are extracted with
    SharpCompress first; when SharpCompress cannot read an archive, the bundled 7-Zip 7za
    console tool is used as a fallback. 7-Zip 26.04 binaries are bundled for all six platforms
    (Windows/Linux/macOS × x64/ARM64).
  • Structured logging — all logging goes through Serilog with an on-screen log viewer,
    rolling daily log files and automatic bug reports for warnings and errors.
  • Update checks, usage statistics and bug reporting — the application checks GitHub releases on
    startup, sends anonymous launch statistics and reports unexpected errors to the developer.
  • Screenshot capture — press F8 to save a PNG of the application window.
  • Donate button — support development directly from the header.
  • Compact single-file bundles — release packages are framework-dependent single-file binaries
    (the .NET 10 runtime is required) with the helper tools, license, readme and these notes included.

Improvements

  • Smooth overall progress bar, per-file progress, statistics cards and write-speed display.
  • Drag and drop files onto the Conversion, Verification or Extraction tab.
  • Wii discs with multiple partitions expose a partition selector in the Disc Explorer.
  • Native extraction of ISO, WIA, GCZ, WBFS, CISO and TGC without DolphinTool.
  • Scrub option zeroes non-game Wii partitions before encoding for smaller RVZ files.
  • Verification logs CRC-32, MD5 and SHA-1 of the decoded image for every verified file.

Fixes

  • Fixed a startup error in the tab-selection handler that logged a spurious bug report on every
    launch.
  • Fixed message boxes failing when shown from a background thread after a batch operation.
  • Fixed cancellation during verification sometimes being reported as a completed batch.
  • Fixed temporary extraction folders and orphaned 7za processes being left behind when an archive
    could not be extracted or an operation was cancelled.
  • Fixed .nkit.gcz files producing a .nkit.rvz output name instead of .rvz.
  • Fixed drag-and-drop of files from several folders refusing to start the operation.
  • Fixed "Copy Out" of a folder from a disc image not sanitizing the folder name.
  • Fixed fatal error dialogs closing before they could be read.
  • Removed stale Avalonia.Diagnostics 11.x package that conflicted with Avalonia 12.
  • Native SkiaSharp/HarfBuzz debug symbols are no longer shipped in release packages.
