Just found a free native mac os x tool: http://www.qweas.com/downloads/audio/rippers-converters/downloads-anytoiso-converter-for-mac.html

Works fine for me.

Thanks for letting us know about your success!

I know ccd2iso works from personal experience.

Just to mention that I’ve just tried ccd2iso and it did the trick. It is available if you have Homebrew installed, too:

brew install ccd2iso

Conversion was really, really fast on the latest MBPs.

Thanks for tip!

Download AnyToISO it’s free and it lives up to its name. It also has a nice gui with a drag’n'drop interface. What more could you possibly want?

Now does any one know of a decent emulator that provides the classic macintosh environment under Snow Leopard???? I need it to run one of my old Sierra games that came on a hybrid CD… Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire

Actually, I can’t see a feature list for the lite version. It looks to me like a lot of time wasted installing cross platform software of uncertain provenance (could have spyware in it) which probably won’t work properly without upgrading to pro. I’m far from convinced jSBer. Your username doesn’t do much to persuade either.

Have you already tried this alternative:
“AnyToISO Converter For Mac”

A free light version can be found here:

crystalidea.com/anytoiso

It worked for me on snow leopard :-)

Hello Enrico,

I guess you are following instructions posted in this comment

Notice that you are missing a dot symbol in your mv /Path/To/ccd2iso-0.3.tar line. Of course you must replace the /Path/To/ccd2iso-0.3.tar with the actual path to the file you just downloaded (the ccd2iso tar gzip archive). If you downloaded it from the link posted in the comment, it will be most likely something like this one:

~/Downloads/ccd2iso-0.3.tar.gz

So the resulting command will be

mv ~/Downloads/ccd2iso-0.3.tar.gz .

Don’t forget about the dot symbol this time and you should have no problems.

hi all,

i know this is late, but i am really stuck here. it seems that i am going through what MacFreak went through, except i cannot find the solution.

so this is what happened, everything seems to be going fine until i reach the ‘tar xvf ccd2iso-0.3.tar’ command…

i get a “tar: ccd2iso-0.3.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now”

i donnu what is going on, im going crazy
i have downloaded the link up there…should I unrar it or is that the commands job? as you can tell, i am not even close to being an expert with this stuff, plz help!

so this how it looks
i typed:
“sudo su
Password:
sh-3.2# cd /usr/local/src
sh-3.2# mv /Path/To/ccd2iso-0.3.tar
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source … directory
sh-3.2# tar xvf ccd2iso-0.3.tar
tar: ccd2iso-0.3.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
sh-3.2#
”

i am using leopard 10.5.8
