So stupid me dropped my external hard drive that had all my backed up games on it... yea real fun. So I lost everything and but did have a burned copy of every game so I went to try and find a way to dump those ISO back onto my computer. This process takes about 20 min compared to 2 in a half plus hours to re dump it from the real game. But also very useful for those of you that don't have space to keep your ISO on your computer just in case you needed it again. All it takes is your Disk Utility and a little Terminal to make it happen.

1. So first off stick your burned Wii game into your disk drive and allow it to be open by Finder (this was the only way I found I could interact with the disk)
You can open up your disk but when it opens you can see the Mac doesn't recognize the Wii ISO it says the disk is empty

2. Open up Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities) and click on your disk drive. Once Selected your going to click Create New Image to save your game on your desktop as a .dmg

3. A screen will pop up, save the name to what ever you want and where but under Image Format make sure you select Read/Write and dont select any compression and then click save and let run... it will take about 15 mins

4. Now that you have a .dmg of your game your gonna open up your Terminal (also in Applications/Utilities) and now with that open your gonna type in this string

hdiutil convert /your/path/here.dmg -format UDTO -o /your/saved/path.iso

Just remember to put your own path into it.

If you dont know the path of your .dmg file just control click it and then goto Get Info and the path is under Where (Users/yourusernam/Desktop/Game.dmg for Mac Desktop)

Now hit Return and let it run... should take 4-6 mins

5. Now you should have a file like Game.iso.cdr.... function click it to rename it and delete the .cdr

6. A window should pop up asking you if you want to keep the Directory as a .cdr or change it to .iso and click Use .iso

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But may end up selling my series x games, if they're worth anything at all by now.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It would be sexy if Xbox and Sony just collab Ed on a console st this point since basically everything is cross platform

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea series X can play 4 gen , OG xbox, X360, XOne, Series games, and w dev mod can play any older retro games up to gamecube, wii, ps2. Don't think PS5 can even play PS3 yet.

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I don't trust them... They would make something purely digital
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's the reason why I won't sell the series X, it runs 360 games really well (and upscalled)

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No real need to care about ps3 on ps5 if you own a pc
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Shame Magna Carta isn't supported.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I don't know what you think about games and developers, but Carmack will always be the best developer.

    Simply because he figured out how to bypass the limitations of weak hardware using existing developments from other computer tasks and make productive games using only crutches.

    @Skelletonike, And fps boost. Nice playing x360 games in 60fps, esp shooters.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Least switch 2 will be a emulation beast once cracked into
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Mostly play jrpgs I own from the 360 tbh, don't have many shooters aside RE5
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and he pushed the development of games and hardware for them in the direction that we all know it now
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    (my 360 is the RE5 LE, sexy red)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv3, Yea but 1.71 tflops and only 12gb ram, will be basically a steamdeck powerwise.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    SteamDeck was a og switch valve planned for
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    By the way, what is John Carmack doing now?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Let me get him on the phone and ask
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Surprised steamdeck 2 not out by now, are they working on one?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They'll probably wait a couple years after switch 2

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    SteamDeck is still useful for optimization on a good amount of steam library much like how the series s optimizes games

    We need better battery tech to catch up to CPU/GPU power...
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I read the black book of doom and all the others about their history and the technologies they used at the time.It gave me such a huge boost that I quit my job and started developing my own devices.
