    Default Cannot use a rom-set

    Looking for tLoZH rom, cool guy gives me link to rom-set on forum, start downloading parts (.7z.#), winrar gives an error saying the archive is either corrupted or damaged, 7-Zip says it cannot be accessed as an archive. Am I stupid and doing something wrong, just missed a piece of crucial information, or what?

    The DS rom set?
    You need to download all archive parts first before you can extract the contents.
    Use 7zip (latest version) to extract from the first part only.
    There's an sfv file you can use to check if any parts were corrupted during download (2nd attached file in this post):

    You'll probably need QuickSFV if you want to check the parts:

    you'll also need the latest version of WinRAR to help out with the unextraction. It has a few tools that 7zip benefits from (but does not come with out of the box; mainly just for RAR-5 support.)

    7zip could support RAR-5 all on its own now, I'm uncertain though as I don't use one or ther other, but both.

    7zip has had support for rar5 for a while now.
    I haven't had to use winrar for nearly a decade, it isn't freeware anyway.
