i recieved a .wii file and instead of using raw dump i just renamed it .iso and now the fie is too big to burn )by the way the file is now .iso, is there anyway that i can revert it back to .wii so i can properly unscramble?

you have to unscramble the wii file, there are various proograms to do so.

how can it not work. All you did was change the filename. The file is still the same.

if u renamed the ext to iso nothing will have happened to the size of the file WHATSOEVER
if u unscrambled the .wii it becomes an iso and yes the filesize will prob change
are you sure u didnt succeed in unscrambling the iso correctly in the 1st place?
if u did nothing but change the ext then changing it back to the original extension will not have changed it in the slightest in any way, you can then unscramble it like you should have in the 1st place
maybe the file is duff in the 1st place, maybe a ghost dummy image like the ones they used to create in direct connect to illegally increase the size of your fileshare to get in larger hubs
and i am perfectly calm, i did read the post, just amused that you thought changing the ext of a file would magically fix it. As a senior member i would have thought that you were a little more wise to basic level computer, file properties than you have shown thats all. This has been covered before in this hub and i assumed you would have read it, my bad
sorry

No i knew about renaming file extensions could work, but in my case it changed the file from .wii to .iso then when i tried to burn it its too big to fit in a dvd-r, okay you understand that good?
When i tried to unscramble it anyway it cannot read to file because its .iso now not .wii so no unscrambling, probs is as a bad file just gotta re do it.

lol....
OK so you had a file called FILE.wii. It was greater than 5GB in size.
You renamed this to FILE.iso, simply by right clicking the file, choosing the RENAME option, and changing the letters "w i i" to "i s o" of course it didn't fit on a DVD.
So far so good?
Now, you are trying to descramble FILE.iso but you can't because it's .iso? Hello? Is anyone there? Of course it's iso you changed it yoursef! UNLESS
a) You did something OTHER than simply rename the file or
b) Your .wii file was bad to begin with,
it should descramble properly if you rename it back to FILE.wii
If you don't understand this then I am surprised you were even capable of registering on this forum.

You may have a perfectly fine file, and could save yourself the hassle of re-downloading it.
Firstly a quick point .wii files (scrambled Wii game dumps) are slightly larger than a DVD-R.
If the file is 4,699,979,776 bytes, it is unscrambled.
If the file is 4,700,012,544 bytes, it was unscrambled with unscrambler 0.4 (unscrambler adds 32,768 bytes to the file).
If the file is 4,736,698,368 bytes, it is a raw file and must be unscrambled.
OK so your scambled .wii file will not fit on your DVD
You need to unscramble the .wii file.
You will need it to be .wii not .iso.
If you can no longer see the .iso at the end of the file to change it then do this, open a folder go to tools then folder options, then the folder options box will open click on view, then look at advanced settings and there will be a tick box that says "Hide extensions of known file types" make sure that this is not selected.
You should now see the .iso at the end of your file you may now change it back to .wii and unscramble it.

Ziggi, let me break this down simple for you. I have children so I know how to speak on your level. You are digging yourself a big hole and seriously embarrassing yourself so I'm going to try and help you out.
1. You started with a file that had the ext .wii (which as it sits is too big to fit on dvd-r) so you renamed it to .iso right. At this point all you did was RENAME the file. You didn't change anything! You didn't unscramble the file so you can't "rescramble" it as you put it in your last post. You simply gave it another name. If you have a .mov movie file and you rename it to .zip or something, your computer might think that it is a zip file but it is NOT! It's still a movie file. If you tried to play the .zip file with quicktime, it would still play as a movie! Does this make sense? Your computer recognizes that type of file as a disc image so it probably changed the little picture and everything but trust me, all you did was rename it. You didn't actually turn it into a .iso file.
2. You tried to burn it but it wouldn't work because it is too big. Thats because the file is STILL a .wii file but just renamed.
3. In order for you to properly burn this file, you need to unscramble it from a .wii file to a .iso file, not just rename it. Renaming it will NEVER work. I don't know where you got that idea.
4. So the next step is to simply rename it once again to a .wii file. You don't need to "unscramble" it from a .iso file to a .wii file, simply do what you did in the first place when you originally renamed it from a .wii file to a .iso file but reverse the processes. In other words, find where your .iso file is and right click on the file and change the last three letters from .iso to .wii.
5. There, now you have your original .wii file again (you had it the whole time, it was just "disguised" as a .iso file when you renamed it).
6. Now that we are back to square one, you need to use rawdump or some other unscrambler and actually unscramble the .wii file to a .iso file (rather than just rename it) and when you are done, you will have a .iso file that will be the right size and you will be able to burn it.
This is what everybody has been trying to explain to you all along.

Edit the start of you post it's not needed and if he reads it it would probably be the last thing he does, I think his problem is that when you name something in XP with a known file ext XP hides it so he couldn't rename it.
Ziggi, let me break this down for you. You are digging yourself a big hole and seriously embarrassing yourself so I'm going to try and help you out.
Something like that would be more appropriate.

THINONE: Im not suffering, your just sad.
Btw im not a child just because i type text/street style.
I appreciate your help Kafluke, but what IVE been trying to explain is everyone that answers says just rename it back then go from there, i have said multiple times that i am trying to do that! And its not 'RENAMING' back to .wii, I dont know if you have Windows Vista but it displays the file type as .iso, i know its not unscrambled by just renaming it, so im stuck with a file that i CANT RENAME back to .wii. I cant tried the way Brido mentioned as ive got rid of the file...
Cheers Brido and Kafluke.
End of Topic

ziggi, as it has been explained to you many, many times. You CAN rename in Vista, you just have to find your folder options and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types".
Do this by clicking on the start icon and in the search box just type "folder options" then hit enter.
When the screen comes up click on the tab titled "view" then go down and find the box that says "hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck it.
Click ok and then you will be able to rename the extension on your .iso file back to .wii.
Also take note that when you rename the file it will highlight the name only and not the extension. This is a new feature of Vista as a convenience because many times you only wish to rename the filename and not the ext. Just arrow over to the right after you click on rename and then you can delete the ext also.
brido84, you're not a moderator so don't be barking orders to people.

I don't think they're trying to be mean, it's just they don't seem to understand why you where having trouble correcting the problem, I can as I've had this problem with windows hiding the file ext and the first time it took me a long while to find out the solution, and you must say yourself the solution does seem very obvious the first time you read it.
I wasn't barking orders I was giving you a piece of advice, if I was already not happy with the way people were talking to me and I read the beginning of your post it would be the last part I read.

Well, it's a good thing that you weren't the one with the problem then isn't it and that ziggy wasn't short sided enough to stop reading at that point and actually find the answer that has been given to him so many times throughout this entire post.

Well I'm sorry if it felt like I was barking orders to you, it wasn't meant like that, I really should have typed it differently, I still stand by the sentiment of the post.
