[Deleted User]

I have a wii game on my pc that is .gcz. does this mean its not a wii game? becuase i want to use usb loader for the game but cant convert it to wbfs. when i got it, it said its a wii game. i made it into a gcm with dolphin but i this point i dont know if its a wii or gamecube game haha. Let me know if you have any suggestions or how to use this in usb loader. Thank you!

The file extension is used for NGC compressed ISOs, hence the gcZ, which is a proprietary file format used on Dolphin emulator to play NGC games.

If you want to convert it to another format, you need first to use Dolphin to convert it into GCM, and afterwards, use GameCube ISO Tool to convert it into any of ISO/GCReEx/DiscEx formats.

i have it into a .gcm file now but when i open it in the tool it says (Invalid disc identifier: Got 0x00, expected 0xC2339F3D) so at this point i am guessing the file is broken? and also guessing i cant use it in usb loader right?

Looks like it is damaged, it has no identifier. What game is it if I can ask?
Also, USB Loader works with Nintendont for playing NGC games on a modded Wii, and if it's a Wii with NGC controller ports you can use one to play.
