I'm new to emulating so forgive me if this is a newbish thing to ask but when I download iso's for games like paper mario thousand year door/super mario strikers and some other games there tends to be multiple rar files in the folder, my question is that a normal thing does it matter which rar in the folder i choose to extract since they all have iso's that are the same size?
Yeah, it's normal. The reason why the .iso were split into multiple files is to reduce the file size, as well making it much more easier to upload it.
Just extract any of the rar file in the folder and you should get the full sized .iso after it done. Also, if you're using Winrar and for some reason it doesn't work, try 7zip instead.
Thread moved.
I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly sure I've read that while you can choose any of the archives when using WinRar, that trying to do the same with 7-zip will not extract them properly. IME, I've always had the most luck extracting the first archive in the list (usually a .rar among other parts, or .000/.001, or .r01) when using 7-zip, and picking one of the others never seems to work out.Quote:
