+''Original page text regarding size'':
+After the initial release, there were concerns rising about differences in file sizes between official WADs and NUSD ones. A first, obvious difference is in that official ones have a footer, and NUSD packed ones do not. This adds a few bytes onto the official ones which will not be present.
+
+A second difference may be noticed in the Certificate Chain added to the WAD. While it may appear entirely different, it is simply ordered in a different way, and the Wii sees nothing different. V1.1 of NUSD will order the certs in the most common way, so that difference is covered.
+
+The only real difference is in some tickets. NUS has a variation on the ticket for a title, as do the WADs that come in discs. While they are different, the only changed values are small (ticket_id and DLC purchases). The big things like Title Key remain intact. There has been no issues using these tickets, which is understandable as many are probably on your Wii right now.

I think you should write out the footer because I've found for some things (comex's formatter), it will fail an assert and completely crash because (as far as I can tell) the sizes differ. Could you do something about this and try to make the wads 1:1 with official wads? Thanks! [[User:Tpw rules|tpw_rules]] 21:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
