    Default Help with iso's downloading wrong.

    My iso's in .ECM format for ps1 aren't downloading right. It keeps telling me on jZip and WinRAR that the file type for the games is "unpakkiso" and it has an Adobe icon next to it. I don't know how it ended up like this, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling pakkiso, but even when I don't have the program installed it keeps making games an "unpakkiso" file type. This only happens to .ECM games, the older games that are already in .BIN work perfectly. But when I click on what I downloaded it tries to open it with Adobe Reader and it tells me that it can't open because it's damaged or somthing's missing. Can anyone tell me how to tell my computer to stop making it an "unpakkiso" and go back to .ECM and stop having it try to open it with Adobe Reader? Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

    .ECM is a compression format.

    You'll need unECM (which can be found on the mainsite) to decompress it and change it to an iso/bin, etc
