    Unhappy Issues with a PSP Rom

    Hi, so I made this account because I was having issues getting a game's ISO to work. I wanted to download the Japanese versions of Persona 2 Sin and Persona 2 Punishment but the folders are hard for me to actually emulate.

    I'm using PPSSPP and I downloaded the files from the website but this is all I get:

    This is what the inside of the initial rar file looks like:

    This is what the inside of the lone folder looks like:
    https://i.imgur.com/pYJaun3.png

    Inside each of the RAR files is a folder similar to this:
    https://i.imgur.com/E4QHC9q.png

    Now if you're saying "just extract the iso file in here", I get this error from each one:

    I'm pretty stumped on what to do, I've tried extracting the file with all the rar inside but that doesn't work, nor does if I extract the rar files that hold the ISO. Any help?

    You have a scene release (split archive) inside an archive.

    For a split archive you don't extract every part, you only extract from the first part.

    Inside each of the RAR files is a folder similar to this:

    ^ That is the iso image. Your system makes it look like an archive because winrar does that by default (associates itself with iso type files).


    Edit:
    Go into winrar file associations and untick the box for iso.
    But I would just uninstall winrar and use 7zip, I haven't used winrar for many years myself.

    Extract the .rar in this picture and you should get the ISO file listed in the next picture you linked. Launch the emulator and tell it to run that ISO.


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
