I have an LG drive that I used RAWdump to copy MLB2K9. The file takes 2.5 hours to dump with success. When I open WinRAR the file show MLB2K9.is0 with the WinRAR icon. The file size is 4,699,979,776 which is the correct size but when I try and extract ti I get the error of "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

It will not even expand the folder to see any files. How can I get this to extract so I can burn the ISO to DVD?

you cannot open Wii Iso's. You will have to burn them on DVD-R's are transfer them to a compatible hard drive with WFBS.

Thanks, I just tried using Imageburn to make the ISO onto a DVD-R and it seems to be working so far. It is at 50%.

I was under the impression that if it showed up with the WinRAR icon next to it that it had to be extracted

Good lord 2.5 hours to dump?!? Your out of the loop chap, Superdump is the new dump ( You can dump it on your SD or your USB disk using your Wii) only takes 0.5 hours

Sorry, I'll be more clear. This program needs Homebrew ( If you don't have it read the stickies and they will tell you how to get it)

1) Ok I see you downloaded it and you have Superdump.dol great!
2) Open your SD card (where your homebrew stuff is) and open Apps folder
3)Make a new folder (Call it superdump)
4)Open your new folder
5)Drag Superdump.dol in your new folder
6)Rename the "superdump.dol" to "boot.dol"
7)Insert SD card into your Wii and start homebrew
8)Find superdump and run it and follow the directions

Fin.

Btw what size USB stick do you have? It might be easier for you to pitch in 10 bucks to get a SD card. But if you only have a USB stick. I can try to find directions for you for that.
