    Default Gamecube Emulator

    HELP
    So I'm completely new to emulation, and am moderately skilled with computers. I am trying to play Metroid Prime on Dolphin 4.0.2 on Windows 8.1. I downloaded from emuparadise, like I have for my gameboy emulator which has worked just fine. However, Dolphin didn't recognize the file type, nor did my computer. Unlike previous files, this one did not download into a .zip folder, just as a file. When I tried to open the file using dolphin, dolphin crashed. I downloaded the 7-Z program and manually changed the file from the .7z to .iso hoping this would help, and now dolphin says that the file is not a valid .iso, and I have to admit at this point that I am way over my head. Can someone please help?

    You changed an archive file extension to an image file extension.

    Use 7zip to extract .7z archives. In fact use 7zip for all archives.

    Thank you so much. I figured that the answer would be something simple that I was missing.
