What is a G1L file

G1L files mostly belong to Wii U Tool. G1L files are used for different purposes depending on their source. The most common use is as a game archive file on the Wii U, where they store game content and assets.
Some G1L files are produced by Graphtec data loggers as gas detection log files, keeping track of sensor data.
Other instances of the format serve as Wii game audio files, and these work with software such as the Wii Music Editor. More details about Wii file formats can be found on the WiiBrew Main Page.
