    What program are you using for extraction?

    I used zipitfree, but winrar worked better

    Or is it doesn't work with windows 7 ?
    are you sure the file is a .bin.ecm? if not then that will be why its not working because its already extracted

    so if they are already extracted, the extension still in .ecm ?

    typically once you extract it from the .rar or .7z or .zip, you will either get the files you can play or a .ecm

    The .ecm is a file that has been stripped of certain common repeating segments. You should run the file through unecm.exe to get a playable file. It replaces those common repeaters and gives you a good file.


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
