Hacking Merging ISO parts?

[jakemaheu]

Alright, well I dumped my [legal] copy of Super Mario Galaxy [RGME], and now I can't figure out how to get them into one .iso file. I used Waninkoko's Disc Dumper and have it in 9 pieces at 512MB each. They are all .iso files. I've tried searching, but the only results are nitrotux's 1.0 dumper (which dumps in .bin, apparently) and some Wiikey articles.

Do these in the command line.

For Linux:

cat file1.iso file2.iso ... > file.iso

For Windows:

copy file1.iso file2.iso ... > file.iso

cat file1.iso file2.iso ... > file.iso

copy file1.iso file2.iso ... > file.iso

I tried it, and it gives me a 41 byte .iso file.
WTF?

Wait until it finishes.

Wait until it finishes.

How long should it take, BTW?

A while.
It's combining a lot.

Give it 5 minutes or so.

Goddammit it isn't working.

EDIT: GODDAMMIT I think I have to redump a chunk.

A bit off topic... but one option is to dump over wifi... I get about 500kB/sec, and it just delivers an iso in one part.. easy peasy

I just extracted the first file with Winrar and all ports came together and it works fine.

I don't have WiFi.

Try "copy /b iso1.iso+iso2.iso+iso3.iso+.......... isofull.iso"

Please can someone explain in a little more detail on how to do this. I dont even know what programme to run the 'command line with'. CMD? Im on Windows Vista BTW

Windows is ultimate fail.
On the other hand, Linux is ultimate free and open-source win.

Open command prompt. Do not run a program with it...noob.

I'm on Vista too, so I can assure you this works...

Open command prompt (CMD)
Navigate to the location of all of your pieces ("cd C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\" or whatever)

Type "copy /b p1.iso + p2.iso + p3.iso + p4.iso full.iso", where 'p1.iso' is the first piece of the iso, 'p2.iso' is the second piece, and so on... and 'full.iso' is what you want to name the entire thing after it's pieced together.

People like you really make linux users look like a bunch of assholes and don't help the cause. Not everyone is born with a bachelor's in computer science you know.

And flashing around a pgp encrypted link in your sig no one can use really speaks a lot for your character too. Not trolling, just calling it like it is.

go into the wii settings menu (where you set tv resolution/wifi/etc) and it should be printed in the upper right hand corner your version number (2.x or 3.x and a letter U-Usa E-Europe J-Japanese)

Thanks again for the great Reply. Lol ... I'm sorry but last question. After i have brick Blocked my ISO and Patched the ISO with back-uo Creator, ImgBurn gives me the following error message when i try to burn the ISO 'Invalid or unsupported image file format!'. Any help?

Might be an imgburn or your burner maybe, try clonecd or nero and see if it opens with them and let us know how it goes.
