all iso's need to be patched to work with ESR. Once patched, will the ISOs work with HDLoader
Yes. If you copy it directly to HD with "ESR-Enabled" HDLoader (not sure, what happens for WinHIIP and other tools. ...depends on their Filesystem-Handling.).
or will i have to back them up again, or is unpatching possible/necessary?
Nope you don´t have to [re-backup] (at least for the mentioned method), unpatching is possible but not necessary (and if it is, it is possible so...).
i hope this is the right thread to put this in ¬_¬
The "FreeVast"-Subforum, might be a better place. ^.^
