1G1R is a curation methodology designed to create a curated set that contains only one copy of each unique game, prioritizing specific regional versions (often EUR > USA > JAP) and discarding duplicate revisions or prototypes. While this significantly streamlines a library for emulators like Dolphin, achieving a true "Perfect Collection" requires high-quality source material—specifically, verifiable and undamaged dumps. 1G1R - Redump - Nintendo - Wii WiiWare -Part 1-
Why Part 1 ? Because the full WiiWare library spans over 600 titles globally (Japan, NA, PAL, Korea). 1G1R across all regions would still exceed 400 unique games. But “Part 1” suggests a deliberate sub-set—possibly alphabetical (A–M), possibly chronological (2006–2009), possibly by genre or size.
