iso images,wii images how to burn them?

[gemvis]

having downloaded a few isos some seem to be just over the 4.5 gig mark and nero wont start to burn them yet others are fine and ive noticed some are isos and others are wii files any suggestions what im doing wrong? thanks in advance

[whatnow]

Most importantly - the ones which don't work are they all .wii files?

If so, rename them to .iso & try to burn then.

This is a guess based on the fact that gc images were made & named .gcm (i.e. GameCube Media - or something), to burn them it was just a case of renaming to iso & burning. You can teach nero to treat gcm the same as iso but I wouldn't bother. I'd expect wii titles are the same, .wii meaning a full image.

thats right the wii images are 4.41 gig yet the .iso name ones are 4.37 and those burn ok so not sure if its nero and maybe try a different program?

If the Wii images have a .Wii extension or are larger than 4,589,856KB, then they are still encrypted. You will need to decrypt them before burning. Decrypting them makes them smaller.

Here is a link to the command line tool to do the job

It takes around 3 - 8 minutes to convert them on a decent PC.

Hope this helps

cheers glen

If I just type the command line into dos and replace the game.wii game.iso with zelda.wii zelda.iso (for zelda obviously), will it work?

yep...

Cheers for that Glen, but I can't open the unscrambler. When I double click it, it opens and immediately closes itself. Anyone know why?

are all files in the same directory?
is it called zelda.wii?
do you have 5gb of free space to make a new image? (if it needs it, which it probably does?)

you will need the zelda.wii in the same place as the program

The answer to all 3 questions is yes, I have moved the unscrambler and the other files that came with it to the game dir. but it still says 'cant open zelda.wii'

o.k m8, this is how i did it,

extract the zelda.wii image to c:\wiigames
extract the unscrambler (should be 5 files in total) to c:\wiigames
create a shortcut to the unscrambler.exe in the same directory (c:\wiigames)
right click on the shortcut and goto properties, then in the box where it says target add " zelda.wii zelda.iso" (without the "s)

so it looks like something like this, Target -> "c:\wiigames\unscrambler.exe" zelda.wii zelda.iso

click apply, then o.k, then doubleclick the unscrambler shortcut.

hope that helps.

I followed your instructions and its unscrambling as I write.

Thanks

excellent !!! just need the bloody chips now test the isos with.

[GlenCook]

I'll knock up a windows GUI so you can just drag and drop the files onto a window to convert the games.

I'll post it tomorrow, just a little busy atm.

vb pah, c++ is the only way to go

no idea what nero does, but for me nero6 burns everything fine. nero7 screws with everything.
i always stick to imgburn for burning now.

also ive found this gui for unscrambler, its in spanish (i think) but very easy to use.

Hi

Attached is a basic GUI for unscrambler 0.4 posted above......

the unscramblerGUI & unscrambler.exe must be in the same folder along
with the .wii image, select the .wii file and hit go.....

[gemvis]

Hi....

you should have unscrambler.exe & unscramblerGUI.exe and the wii image all
in the same dir, if the command window opens & closes is the unscrambler.exe is not found or unscrambler.exe is closeing, try opening a command window and run unscrambler.exe zelda.wii zelda.iso and see what it says....
