If not, it's probably just a blob of binary rubbish designed to waste your time and bandwidth.

To find out for sure, you could try converting a known good .iso to .wbfs and then try to convert it back - if it works, then your .wbfs files are probably corrupted somehow. Also, it could be that you're trying to convert the files on a FAT32 formatted drive such as a USB drive/stick? If so it'll fail because you can't create a file > 4GB on a FAT32 partition, so you'd need to copy them to a NTFS partition before performing the conversion. As far as I'm aware you don't need any kind of small index files w/ .wbfs. Hope this helps, r3dux Hi Muh,

But I have been looking for 3 hours now, and I cannot find any answers to my problem. I have 5 games in *.wbfs image format and I am trying to convert them into *.iso format. I have tried all kind of programs: WBFS Manager WiiFaBu Wii BackUp Manager etc... but I am not able to convert with any of those. WBFS Manager shows the imagefiles as red files and I am not able to move them anywhere. WiiFaBu and Wii Back Up Manager will develop an error message. Are all of those WBFS files corrupted? Is there any kind of small index file needed for identifying them as WBFS Image files? Or any other preferences? Thank you in advance. Hi guys,

It appears I do not even have an option to convert wbfs to iso; I've gone through all the menu's and clicked on the possible buttons. When I click on "Load ISO" and I'm scrolling through my files I cant click on the wbfs file. HELP! There seem's to be no tutorials for Mac users...
