    Unhappy PS2 ISO extraction problems help.

    I just recently downloaded PCSX2 0.9.8 and i tried to download some games. I tried to download Bloody Roar 4 and Inuyasha: Feudal Combat and both times I don't get an iso file. When I extract them using 7-Zip, I get these folders, fpack, str, modules, dummy(a folder on Bloody Roar 4 and a .dat file on Inuyasha), a sound folder for Inuyasha and two files, SLUS_211.93 for Inuyasha and SLPM_654.99 for Bloody Roar 4 and a system.cnf for both. And when I use WinRar I get the same results. How come i don't get an ISO file? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Also on the forum pages with the links everyone seems to get the iso file, is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Looks like you extracted too far. Sometimes ISO files can get associated with WinRar and 7-zip. When that happens, the icon becomes the same as an archive.
    What file extension was it before?

    Because you have extracted the iso aswell

    instead of extracting directly just open the first archive with 7-zip and see what is inside the archive

    The MDS is the ISO. If there is no MDf, no problem. Try to open the MDS in your emu.
