    The evaluation copy of the ISO tool powerISO doesn't let you work with ISO files bigger than 300MB... which is pretty useless I'd say :confused: . I need to extract a bunch of files from two DAA (powerISO's file extension name) files that I downloaded in order to run a game... can anyone offer a solution?

    Well you have two options, either register poweriso or go with isobuster.

    Does ISObuster work with DAA files?

    If you're downloading games surely it can't be hard to download a full version of PowerISO ;)

    No of course it isn't difficult, but the trial can only work with files >300MB. This makes it pretty useless since I'm trying to mount and extract files greater than 2.4GB. Registering costs $30 and I'm only going to use it ONCE!!!!! So I cracked the trial, but it still won't work; it says "invalid file format" or something like that, even though the files I downloaded are DAA. So I need to find another way to extract the image.
