I recently downloaded a rom (of Skyward Sword) that came in the .nkit.iso format. So I used Nkit (with Wii partitions) to convert it back to the regular .iso format (to use Wii Backup Manager to then convert it to wbfs for use with USBLoaderGX) but it came in 2 files. A .iso file and a .iso_1 file. Wii Backup Manager couldn't read the .iso_1 file so I couldn't convert it to .wbfs (also there were no errors within NKit).

Anyone know what's going on or how to use it with USBLoaderGX?

Any help / tips are appreciated.

Edit: Turns out it was just a conversion error. I re-converted the file and it came out as 1 file. However I find it weird that nothing was pointed out in the NKitSummary.txt file.

How big are the 2 files? Kinda sounds like a split file.

Hey Man, So I recently started modding my Wii, when downloading the ROMs from .zip, extracting to become .nkit.iso, Using Nkit to convert to .iso, finding out some of the games had been same size but different file extensions, one read [Game Title].iso and [Game Title].iso_1, so I added the processed games into Wii Backup Manager, and had them converted to the .wbfs file extension. The games works, though adding the game covers via Wii Backup Manager doesn't always works so in order to do so, gotta head into USB Loader GX got to settings the last page of the settings, click "Update Menu", and the Update Covers or something like that, and it will download all the Covers in three different types: 3D, Flat, and Full HQ. I hope this helps.
