New to roms- Need help :/

[Zeppy]

Hey everyone

My friend gave me dolphin emulator with his usb; I have mario kart installed but I've been trying to get Fire Emblem (path of radiance). I've downloaded several programs (winrar, 7zip, and utorrent), but due to my utter noobishness and first time experimenting with games on windows, I've failed. I looked through youtube videos, downloaded several versions of the game, tried "extracting" (still unsure what everything means/does), and just cant get Fire Emblem on dolphin (This particular version being a gamecube version). Could someone walk me through this proccess, and perhaps redirect me to the proper site to get this rom (I do have several versions, unsure which are "good", etc).

Thanks a lot.


Edit: I'm running Dolphin 3.5 for windows 32 bit. Not sure if any other information is necessary, but I'll update upon request.

when you extract a file (do recommend you use 7-zip) the file you get last should be an ISO file, you do not extract the contents of the ISO though (you can rename GameCube GCM files to ISO if you like though I'm sure Dolphin can handle GCM files as well anyway, the format is not any different so GCM files are ISO's)

drop the Fire Emblem ISO file into the same folder you have the Mario Kart game and try that

I don't have mario kart in a folder, it says disk image file, and is on my desktop. I dragged the contents of fire emblem into a folder on my desktop but when I click "open" on the fire emblem folder (in the browser in dolphin) it shows it to be empty. I'm sure I'm just missing something tiny but crucial here, but with my lack of computer knowledge I really can't pinpoint it... Do you happen to have a link for fire emblem that you know to be working, so I can figure out whether the problem is me or the download?

EDIT: I extracted it to desktop, and it's stuck at 99%. I have 4 "updates"-
1. Can not open file _____ as archive
2. Same file as above (the ___) but it says .r00 at the end instead of .nfo
3. "Data error in 'sc-fep.iso'. File is broken."
4. Can not open file _____ (same as first and second) as archive. Difference being it has .sfv at the end.

Sigh :/



Sorry if this is a double post, but HOLY **** I DID IT.

One last problem:

It says: Press any button to continue. Without a port, how do I press a button?

Keyword being "broken"? :p

A port, as in a controller? Or a way to connect a controller? If so then by mapping your keyboard to a button
