Wii games are padded out to 4.37gigs regardless of the actual game size. WBFS manager and other methods to load them will automatically scrub them, removing the padding.

Edit: Typo

what penguin said. also, when you extract it from the drive, it will automatically be padded back to 4.37.

it's actually benefitting us, since there's more usable space on the drive.
