    Default Decompressing Wii CSO's

    Title pretty much asks the question for me. I'm having trouble playing CSO's, and I was wondering if there was a decompressing program that I could use get ISO's instead.

    Are you sure it's a Wii game, generally it's PSP games that get compressed to CSO

    Anyway look at the PSP tools here

    Both tools there handle cso and cso extraction

    What games do you have in cso format??

    Maybe it wasn't CSO, then.
    But it was a compressed wii game, you could tell from how it did that massive slow down during cut scenes.
    I only have one example off the top of my head, and it's Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

    What are you playing on??

    Emulator Console???

    Emulator = prolly your system not handling the game too well or an emu issue either way not much can be done, maybe a lil tweeking, but I'm no expert as far as emulating the Wii goes, I prefure the real console

    Console = DVD drive does not read DVD-R/+R media as fast as it reads original factory pressed DVD's, use a USB HDD instead for your Wii games and they will run full speed

    Actually, I am using a Console, and I am using an USB HDD. So... I think the problems the rom. Well, I now know it isn't compressed, I guess. So we're good. I think. XD

    What game/games are lagging?

    What loader/s are you using or tied?

    Have you even looked at the compat for running your game off of HDD

    We need a bit more info than game is running slow or all I can do is second guess

    It may even be that you have a slow USB HDD, or you are using the the USB port thats not closest to the edge of the console that only USB 1 instead of USB 2

    Actually, feel free to delete this post. I got it working properly. Turns out, that one ISO was glitched, or something. Re-did it, and it works fine now. Thanks for the help though!
