    Try placing all the separated files in the same folder before unzipping them. Just unzip the first into that same folder; the rest should follow by lead. If this doesn't work try the same process with winrar (which you should be able to find on this site).

    Give HjSplit a shot. Rejoin all the numbered part files to make a single plain old 7z file.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Might be a corrupted archive......most likely corrupted during download.
    Look at the file sizes for all the parts, they should be the same (except the last part which will be smaller).

    Could you try it with winrar? Because I had trouble with 7zip preventing me from opening part files due to "insufficent memory space", which actually meant the parts weren't chaining properly when I tried to open them--it looked exactly like this except that you're not getting the error message. I have no idea how to correct the problem using either tool, it just happened to work for me with winrar and I know the conditions I mentioned earlier are necessary.
    Alternatively, are you sure the files aren't under password?
    Good luck.

    Id say that the file you are downloading is broken, you should try and source another copy of the game as even if you do get it to extract it could turn out to be a bad lemon.


    If i was remotely usefull (how ever unlikey that maybe) feel free to click the thanks button or share some rep.

    Use it with a program like QuickSFV to accurately verify your files.

    You can always verify your extracted files. There's no sense in giving up just because you think it might not work out.

    I guess I should've mentioned that as well
