GCMwipe wipes out the garbage data from a gcm so that it compresses better but the gcm still stays the same size.
There is another tool GCMUtility that removes garbage and compacts the gcm. So far i tested it on Luigi's Mansion and the difference is amazing. Luigi's Mansion.gcm was compacted from 1.4gb to a mere ~280mb.

Other games like the Wind Waker will still take ~1gb since they fairly big and don't have much garbage data.... but even that is better than 1.4

You run gcmwipe from dos window...
