    all you need to do is rename the file to .gcm, if your going to make a back up i think it needs to be .iso

    It's better to show your extension file instead of renaming it [sometimes Windows will not recognize the extension if you manually rename it]. Here's how you do it:

    [Windows XP]
    1) Right Click on Start Menu
    2) Tools > Folder Options
    3) View Tab
    4) Under Advanced Settings, find "Hide Extensions for known files". Uncheck that.
    5) Rename your files.

    Note that this will change almost all files into "[file].[insert extension here]". For example:

    Instead of SuperMarioSunshine - it will be:

    SuperMarioSunshine.iso

    -From there, you will change the .iso into .gcm. Make sure you include the period [or the file will not be usuable].
    -Be careful not to forget the extention [such as .exe, .txt, etc] for other files if you are renaming it. Taking the extension names off of files will not make them usable or programable.

    Just so I don't have to make another few topics... I have a question about .DOL to .ISO/.GCM. I know it's a lot more complicated than that, but since Cobra BIOS 1.2 still can't properly load .DOL files, I was wondering if there was a converter around anywhere... that way, I can just make a Multi-Boot ISO.

    Also, is there any program that can convert SNES and NES roms into .DOL or .ISO/.GCM?

    Finally, is there any way to delete those goddamn topics made by that Tom54 moron?
