How can I convert DOL files into ISO format?
I have seen some DOL files converted elsewhere, so how can I do that?

The rumble means your DOL file is not compiled properly to be booted via this method.. what DOL is it?

I literally don't know how to do it, even though it has instrutions and all.
Please, emu_kidid or anybody else help me :'(
It will only take you a few seconds, you only have to run teamviwer not install it.
OVERVIEW
This set of files can be used to create a quick and simple bootable gamecube disc.
USAGE
Extract all the files to a folder.
Create a folder. The contents of this folder are going to be present in the root of the bootable disc. Place dol file you want to boot into the folder and also place the gbi.hdr in the folder.
At the command prompt, browse to the folder where you extracted mkisofs.exe.Enter the command as follows
Quote:
Code: Select all
mkisofs.exe -R -J -G <gamefolderpath>\gbi.hdr -no-emul-boot -b <yourdolfile> -o <gameisoname> <gamefoldepath>
where
<gamefolderpath> - Is the path to the folder you want to make as a bootable disc
<yourdolfile> - Is the dol file you want to boot
Burn the resultant image to a disc
Example
Quote:
Code: Select all
mkisofs.exe -R -J -G C:\gamecube\gbi.hdr -no-emul-boot -b bootldr.dol -o gcdisc.iso C:\gamecube
Here in the folder "gamecube" I have placed all my files along with the dol file "bootldr.dol" and "gbi.hdr" and named the resultant iso that wil be created "gcdisc.iso"

Thanks for your input -__-
This was all before he told me about the GUI, so shut the fuck up...
Either way, he seems like a pretty nice dood who would be willing help out.
Plus, he's around the forums at that time...

whoa whoa whoaaaa calm down.
i mean it's seriously a bit over the top to ask somebody for direct help via teamviewer and a specific time don't you think?

I don't think it's asking for much...
I have received support that way, and like I said.
...he's around the forums at that time...
that's why I asked.

^The above means that he can decline/agree, or set up another time...
He declined and I'm ok with that, even though I prefer help through teamv.
Your
ahahahahahaha tone iritated me...
What I'm asking myself now is, why do you even reposnd to this topic anyways if you have no way of helping me?
I'm not even mad, I'm just like wtf...

It worked :D
Thanks for telling me there was a GUI version, or else I would have been lost :3
@liquitt
I did overreact in the below comment and I apologize for
that.
This was all before he told me about the GUI, so shut the fuck up...
I would suggest though that you stop spamming...

LOL
@liquitt I suggest that you continue "spamming"
(I would not even call it spamming and I totally agree to your point
)

He's not an asshole.
It's just, we have like bigger problems than this, and we never asked before to use teamviewer.
And then, someone comes on the forum, has this little problem and asks for immediate teamviewer use like it's a huuuuuge problem, you know?
And teamviewer is like a kinda noob solution to solve your problems...
That's why there are forums. To solve problems.
So that's why we
at this.

Except nobody really helps here most of the time...
It may be considered a little problem to some, but I'm a new to this.
Either way, my question has been answered.

Yes, the fact that my question has already been answered an he chooses to bump it is stupid, and he is an asshole for doing so.

Even if you're new, or whatever you are here, there's no reason to curse.

Well, I'm sure you're smart enough to understand that clever little quips are not needed after/before a question has been answered, such as the ones liquitt and andzlay gave.
New to the GC scene...
