iso to img conversion

[tigervette]

I performed the code to convert the .iso to the .dmg and it successfully changed it over... however when I tried to mount it an error message came up and said that it was unable to mount the image. I don't remember the exact error message number...

You can accomplish this in the Terminal with this command:
hdiutil convert "/path/to/name.iso" -format UDRW -o "/path/to/output.dmg"

I entered the following:

$ hdiutil convert "CitySelectV6-DISK1.iso" -format UDRW -o "DISK1.dmg"

Terminal displayed:

hdiutil: convert failed - not recognized

Is there a problem with ISO image?

Yes: Reason not recognized

ISO file may be bad?

yes, it could be corrupted, try to check it with the application "disc utility"

I currently searched for ISO to DMG conversion to find a way to emulate iso's on mac and play them when I found this forum. After reading... I decided to try and emulate the iso and mount the disc that I wanted to play. I then opened DVD player on mac and immediatly it recognized the mounted ISO and started playing the dvd. Now I have a new Mac mini with the intel core duo. I don't know if it only works on the new intel cpu's, I also have OS version 10.4.7, but give it a try. It may work for you!!!
