Use when you have a macOS installer package and want an ISO containing the installer or its payload.

For PS3 users, the conversion process typically involves a two-step "liberation" method. This is because PKG files are designed to be installed to an internal hard drive, whereas ISO files act as virtual discs that can be run from external media. :

: hdiutil attach /tmp/macOS.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/macOS

| If you want to... | Use the PKG directly. | Convert to ISO? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Play on RPCS3 (PS3 emulator) | Yes – RPCS3 has an "Install PKG" option. Just load the PKG. | No | | Play on a jailbroken PS3 (CFW/HEN) | Yes – Copy PKG to USB and install via Package Manager. | No | | Play on a standard PS3 without mods | Impossible – both PKG and ISO require jailbreak or original disc. | No | | Burn to a Blu-ray disc | Rarely works – PS3 checks for original disc watermark. | Yes (but likely fails) | | Archive for a digital library | Folder format (JB) is more common than ISO. | No | | Use with a specific mod that requires ISO | Yes – then follow the guide above. | Yes |
