How To Convert Pkg To Iso

.pkg

Converting a file to an .iso can mean a few different things depending on what you're working with.

What You’ll Need:

Extract:

mkdir ~/pkg_extract
xar -xf MyApp.pkg -C ~/pkg_extract
cd ~/pkg_extract
cat Payload | gunzip -dc | cpio -i

Build ISO:

mkdir ~/iso_source
mv [extracted_files] ~/iso_source/
hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/MyApp.cdr ~/iso_source -iso -joliet
hdiutil convert ~/MyApp.cdr -format UDTO -o ~/MyApp.iso
mv ~/MyApp.iso.cdr ~/MyApp.iso

Test by mounting the ISO.

Use hdiutil to create a disk image and convert to ISO:

hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/output.cdr ~/iso_source -iso -joliet
hdiutil convert ~/output.cdr -format UDTO -o ~/output.iso
mv ~/output.iso.cdr ~/output.iso

For bootable ISOs, include the proper El Torito boot image and use hdiutil options accordingly.

Instead of "Install PKG," use "Boot Game" and select the ISO.
If successful, the game will launch as if from a physical disc.
