    Default How do you play the gamecube games hosted here?

    So I downloaded Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was in .rar format, so I opened it up and there are around 20 something files, with the extensions .00 .01 .02 .03 and so on to about .26

    So, I was like "oh, no problem. I just have to extract the first one, and winRAR will automatically compile them all into one file." Well... that didn't happen. Looking at the NFO it says the game is in .GCM format. So, I tried using a file joining program (hjsplit) and joined the numbered files into one file, and renamed it with the extension .GCM. Dolphin says its an invalid GCM/ISO. So, I tried taking those files and using imgburn to compile them into an ISO. Same problem. How the %*&! do I play gamecube isos??

    Btw, i already tried the 7zip method as well. The "combine files" option is grayed out so that doesn't work either...

    ok kaj is a friend of mine i don't emulate game cube so i can't help him i commend you for trying dark justice but look a little closer before you post his post says he is using dolphin
    in your video link the fact that before he extracted the file it looked like books stacked on top of one another means the file is associated with winrar which he has also tried neither worked again i appreciate your trying but this time it is no help to him.

    winrar SHOULD extract them all in one file. i got the same rar from the EP ftp, extracted all the files in one folder, then just right-clicked the first one and chose extract here from the menu, gave me a perfect working iso.
    either your d/l is corrupt or your winrar needs to be updated/reinstalled

    Wow... I feel stupid now. I right-clicked on the sc-ssbm.001, went to the 7-zip tab, and chose extract here. It worked. Sorry for making a topic about this. I've never encountered a zip file in .001 format that didn't automatically assemble itself when extracted from the original .rar. My bad guys.
