==PlayStation 2==
Cemu (since 1.27) can convert installed titles to WUA, combining the title itself, update (if available) and DLC (if available) into one file. The conversion tool is available via the Cemu title manager.
Based on a small testset of 44 titles with updates and dlc, WUA reduced the overall file size by roughly 16%. It also reduced the number of files per title from 3,500 on average to 1.
