You already made the ISO and it's in the RawDump folder, you didn't look very hard. The 'convert raw to iso.' button is to decrypt an encrypted dump made with another ripper.

Thanks for the insult ehr, i maybe a newbie to this wii stuff, but im not a dumb bastard when it comes to computers! Im trying to dump High School Musical, but all i got was a 8096kb rar file. Im using an LG-GDR 8162B rom, so im thinking it was a bad dump. Im gonna try wii sports, just to see if a basic game works..it WAS my first try at this, so i think i'll persevere. Thanks to those who gave "constructive " cryticism !

You know you could have just sent a PM with your email address, save the MODs from having to deal with it.

@jordan246
Why is it a mods reponsiblity to remove your email address? It's against forum rules to post it in the first place.
Plus you can edit your post yourself.
Like Dman125 said use the pm function instead.

I'll leave you're email address posted and let the spam bots pick it up. (hence the rule)
Now you can remove it and follow the rules.

Let's use some sense & not post what you are mailing someone.
I'm missed your post early about sending people games to test. That's piracy and not allowed here. Even if you're not charging $.

What do you not understand about my post above to thehopper?
You even posted in bold and red to make sure it stands out on a PUBLIC forum.
This ain't piracy central so let's take break and read rules.
