Is a disk image the same as a iso?

I'm using a mac to patch & burn a copy of WE8.
In order to use PPF I need to have a iso, so... how do i then burn it as a playable PS2 game. I've seen alcohol being used and theres a PS2 format option there but on my mac?

You patch the game with the PPF, then select that iso in Alcohol, selct the PS2 option and burn at low speed.

Maybe using a pc-emulator will help.
If not, just burn the image as data (not the usual way of burning as an image) and copy it to a PC and patch and burn there.

A "disk image" is NOT necessarily the same as an ISO. An ISO will specifically be a .iso file - that's not a Windows / Mac / Linux file format, it's a universal DVD format. As long as it's called "DVDIMAGE.ISO" or "WE8.ISO" or something, it's fine. You just need to select the option in whichever burning program you use that says "Burn ISO image", and if there's an option for it, select "disk-at-once" or "DAO" mode. You must burn in DAO mode so you get a disc burnt in PS2 format, instead of just a data DVD with a lot of PS2 files on it, which won't load, if you see what I mean. If there's no option for DAO, but you're definitely in 'burn ISO image' mode, it should just be set as default (like in DVD Decrypter).

I use Linux for all my patching, and it works fine. All the patching tools are pretty simple programs, so they all work perfectly under WINE, the Windows emulator for Linux. There are definitely similar sorts of emulators for Mac, as a friend of mine patched WE8 with ppf-o-matic on his I-Book. There will be at least one that's free, if you search. As for burning -- search for freeware Mac burning programs! Or a Mac port of a Linux program like k3b, which is really easy to use.

Only thing that doesn't work properly in Linux is Waterloo's tool, cos it needs specific Windows libraries, so it won't work in Mac either. You could fix that (by placing the .dlls you download with the new Waterloo tool in a specific folder in the 'fake windows' environment), but I can't be bothered -- I just boot into Windows for that :)

Pere Ubu(Hot name!) but anyway you rock for that great answer. I just find it utterly frustrating. I need to have your friend post here about what he did and how he did it on the imac/ibook.
