    So I've waited a while for help on this but seems everybody is busy so I am hoping maybe someone else can help with this issue.

    I've got a bunch of Wii RVT-R beta's. I've got one of crediar's (this is a link by the way) custom drives that dumps & writes Wii RVT-R disks. I've also got two normal DVD drive's with the right firmware thanks to Bad_Ad but I am trying to avoid these as there was an incident when the disk was dumping. (You have to swap the disks on these! :()

    Sadly these drives do not work with RawDump/FriiDump etc. Crediar says ImgBurn is needed.

    I've followed all this and I've got rip's of 3 Wii RVT-R's here. I know the data is inside. I've compared one to a retail ISO and the data almost matches but clearly as these are beta's there will be changes.

    My next problem is the file size is too large meaning the data is scrambled/encrypted. I've used multiple tools to convert to a readable format but nothing worked.

    From what I can tell these are missing the "seed" without this i'm pretty much screwed. Is this because it's an RVT-R? Most of the tools I've found are dead links etc and I've tried a few "raw" data to iso tools but nothing has worked to date.

    I did notice in Crediar's post it mentions him signing the disk with a dev common key. Sadly I've had no luck finding information on this. (5 hours searching so far.)

    EDIT: I've found a tool to sign the common key but even that's failing. It seems to be these seeds that are the issue.

    EDIT 2: Data in hex,

    EDIT 3,

    So from what I've read these are raw images and if I rewrite to an RVT-R it'll work. I need to get these bootable on emulators as I plan to release all the data at some stage.

    So far I've changed the retail key on WIIScrubber to the dev one and been able to view the iso's and even extract data. But I am still unable to boot in emulator.

    From reading posts the Wii iso's are encrypted/scrambled and need converting to another format. I've tried unscrambler.exe with the common-key changed to the dev key but I then get "no seed found for recording frame 0" and I'm totally lost.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Have you tried extracting/unpacking the files' contents (changing the file extension to iso or rar) and rewrap them in a new one?
    It works on my mac. A game I downloaded was scrambled too and I resealed its contents in a brand new package. Guess what? It worked!

    How would that apply to this?

    This won't work. Wii data / iso's cannot be read by any iso programs. iso buster will show it's a wii disk but that's it. The other problem is Wii's use partitions like a HDD and the data would need repacking in this order. Sadly no luck finding a tool to do this.

    All I can do currently is extract files nothing else. Can't get them to boot etc.
