Sounds like the file could be corrupt and WBFSmngr is silently failing the conversion (anything in the logs?). if I were you I'd try running the ISO version in the Dolphin emulator to see if it even boots.

Yes, this is normal because WBFS has sparse file support while the ISO format does not.

Also, you’ll need a DVD not a CD to burn the image to, and if the disc image is larger than a DVD5 (4.7GB) you’ll need to burn it to a DVD9 (dual layer, approx 9GB) disc, if you have a drive which can do that.

This might be a silly question but, after converting my file, is it supposed to be bigger than usual? I know there are certain size numbers to a file that has to be on an ISO to properly put it on a CD and then play it on my wii but this is much bigger, am I missing something or is it okay to just try and burn this big file on my disc and play it?

Then I’d say the .wbfs file you’re trying to convert isn’t a valid .wbfs file – download another .wbfs file and try to convert it. If that works, you’ll know your first file is broken/corrupt/garbage.

Okay, so you fire up Wii Backup Manager, and in the Files tab you click on Add | Files and point it at a .wbfs file - so far so good. At this point Wii Backup Manager should display the file in its little list (ya know, with Game ID, Game Title fields etc). Now, you should check the checkbox to the left of the file (in the list with Game ID, Game Title fields etc) and click on Trasfer | ISO and then give it a location (like the Desktop or such). If you're saying that this is exactly the process you're following, and that it doesn't work - I'm a at a loss. You could try converting a different .wbfs file maybe incase the one you're trying to convert is corrupted and Wii Backup Manager can't work with it. Or maybe try getting another copy of Wii Backup Manager (later version? older version?) and try your luck there. Hope you get it sorted!
