    Default Game won't work (emulating Harvest Moon AWL on Dolphin)

    I downloaded Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, yet every time I try to play it I get this message:

    Usage Dolphin[/h][/d][/l][/e<str>][/V<str>]{/A<str>]
    /h, --help Show this help message
    /d, --debugger Opens the debugger
    /l, --logger Opens the logger
    /e, --exec=<str> Loads the specified file
    (DOL,ELf,GCM,ISO,WAD)
    /b, -- batch Exit Dolphin with emulator
    /V, --video_backend=<str> Specify a video backend
    /A, --audio_emulation=<str> Low level (LLE) or high level (HLE) audio
    Unexpected parameter 'C:\Users\Ivan\Desktop|Harvest\iph-hrv.r00'
    [/B]

    I have no idea what this means...

    You need to extract the games before you can play them

    Dolphin reads iso and gcm files not rar compressed files

    r00 is a rar file and should be part of a series of files extract it by the iph-hrv.rar file you can use 7-zip or WinRAR to do that, I would use 7-zip over WinRAR myself

    once you have either 7-zip or WinRAR installed just right click on iph-hrv.rar and find the winRAR or 7-zip option called Extract here

    I did what you did and I never got that error (tried with the newer part1.rar, part2.rar etc.); just do what Zorlon said

    The rar, r00, r01 etc. files are the older split rar's, I would get 7-Zip (unless you plan to upload games and use the split rar format)

    Out of interest, is this an older version of dolphin? Before it was all cleaned up? (I'm on 3.5 SVN/Development)
    System Specs are Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1, i3-2310M @2.1GHz, 4GB Ram and 128MB Intel HD Graphics 3000.
