The MLC dumping process using dimok's dumper comes with several drawbacks: * most consoles, being 32GB units, will require a 64GB SD, which requires a bit more setup to make it functional with the Wii U; * the dump produced is encrypted + uncompressed, wasting space; * there is no way to use the raw dump as-is, since there is no procedure to restore the MLC by each bit; moreover, the dump will be locked to the SCFM at that point in time; * compared to dumpling, reading effective "zero"/filler bytes wastes time.
