    Default Dolphin "Couldn't Recognize" ISO

    Hey everyone.
    I've been having real difficulty trying to download a working ISO of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
    So far, yesterday, the download seemed to have stopped twice (maybe that was my fault) but after I let it run the third time the ISO downloaded successfully. This is the file.

    Sonic Adventure 2 - Battle (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es).7z

    I downloaded it from here.
    When I open the ISO up in Dolphin (3.5), a Warning message comes up saying "Could not recognize ISO file, users/documents, blah blah blah". When I open up the program on my computer I get this message

    Is a .7z file even an ISO file at all?? I downloaded Zelda: The Wind Waker several days ago with no problems and it was working fully functionally.

    OS:

    Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core iS
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD

    I have no idea what a MOD is so i'll just say i'm running this thing on Dolphin 3.5
    I don't use burnt discs, because I presumed it would work on my computer as the last download did. My burner is built in with my mac
    I don't use any plug ins for my emulator.
    I will try an other ISO rom of the game later
    Please i'd loooooooove to play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle at home again! I only have the real american copy that doesn't play on Australian Gamecubes!!!!

    It's an archive.
    Extract the .7z file using the latest version of 7zip (it's freeware).

    Spoiler warning:

    I Think Mac & Linux Versions Of Dolphin Have More Problems Than Windows Versions
    You Can't Use The Gamecube's Bios IPL.bin On The Linux Version It Just Stops
