    Question HELP!!! I'm confused with this 2 Disc Game

    Recently, I tried to download Onimusha Dawn of Dreams iso through emuparadise...
    After downloading the 2x3.2 GB file and extracting it, this is all I get (don't mind the "(1)" in the file name, I tried extracting without renaming, and got the same result.)

    Did I do something wrong, or did I miss anything?
    Or is there a way to convert them into an Iso file?
    *Thanks*

    for a start, your os is locked, i can't tell if the two upper items in the second images are archives, or iso's?
    can't see any file suffix there, it does appear to be associated with winrar. (i hate file assoc)
    okay, in the first image, the (1) is a duplicate file.
    either it was downloaded twice, or the dl'd archive was expanded twice, and didn't overwrite the last attempt, but renamed the dupe instead.
    i'm not sure you're doing anything wrong, if the two item in the second image are iso's (associated to winrar as iso is an archive container) and NOT compressed archive.
    if they are archives still, using rar/7z, target the file expansion to another directory, to avoid any possible overwrites and/or dupes, you'll be able to track filenames as well.
    all the best, others may chip-in soon.

    1. Archives, I think...
    2. Fixed it...
    3. They appear to be, but they are from 2 different RAR files. (And yes, I choosed rename instead of overwrite because I tried overwriting and it didn't work either)
    4. And those image.afs files show RAR icon because I tried to (Right Click > Open With 'WinRAR')

    Thanks for the quick response though, hope the additional infos would help...

    Now then. You already stated that you downloaded 2 3.2GB files and extracted them, subsequent confusion ensued.

    In your first picture you have 2 4.5GB iso's, with possibly missassociated WinRar file extensions, which you proceeded to extract from a make a mess.
    1) Keep those 2 Winrar looking iso's and delete the mess.
    2) Then fix the possible association problem. Open WinRar>Options>Settings>Integration, then untick any options other than RAR and maybe ZIP.
    3) Just to be sure those are iso files, make sure you have Windows set to show known file extensions, so you don't hit these moments of confusion:

    Now that your PC issues are cleared up, it should be clear that you have your 2 iso's in hand and need no further work.

    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    As above you already have two iso files

    If you are curious the other files are the contents of the iso's and have no use outside of the iso's

    Ooooohhh... Thanks, I get it now, those ARE the ISO files () (Finally realized this after extracting from my laptop)
    But why did the WinRAR get it confused as an archive?
    *opens the disc1.iso with PCSX2*
    now I get libdma: sync timeout in the 'log' window in the PCSX2 (T-T)

    *edit* ticked autofix and the game starts normally (with few graphical issues)
    Thanks a lot guys!

    Because Winrar's default settings are well over a decade old. I'm sure back when they figured out they could do it, it was a useful feature, there weren't many programs aside from paid CD burning software that even handled iso files back then. Nowadays we have millions of useful programs that use iso's, and Winrar's poor iso handling is just in the way

    @ op.
    if you install a new tool or utility, or redo the config, go through it all.
    totally dissociate all file suffix from the app list, the archiver in this case.
    granted, removes the convenience of double-click for any previous file associations, but it's a lifesaver when two or more programs conflict with each other.
    vlc is one example.
    had to go through it all, so half it's association manifest didn't conflict with a handful of default file associations elsewhere, namely the os itself.
    ...
    in any event, appears that it's fixed.
    have fun.
