Downloaded games not recognized as ISOs

[Blacklyte]

So I am using PPSSPP since I heard it is one of the better emulators out there, and I wanted to play Crisis Core on it. However every version of the game I download isn't recognized as an ISO and I can't run it. It's in .rar format and while I have unpacked it using winrar, it just gives me a vanilla file with compressed files in it.

I have tried running both the compressed and uncompressed versions to no avail. I don't know what I am doing wrong or if I am looking in the wrong place.

What do you mean by:

Pretty much sure he mean by an 'original' file, but dunno what kind of file he meant(or which), the WinRAR? .ISO? .CSO?

and to OP, it seems you haven't extracted the .ISO file from the WinRAR itself(though I'm not sure what you mean by compressed or uncompressed),
if yes, just extract it and if unsure how to do it, refer the following guide: http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...-to-Handle-The

but, if you're still at lost, please provide a screenshot of the game you've downloaded, along with its contents here.

Use 7zip, and don't have archive programs associated with image files.

If its off of the main site its a Scene release, just extract the split archive and open the first part and extract the iso.

Sorry for the confusion and I appreciate the help. By vanilla file, I meant folder. It just gave me a regular folder with .rar files in it. It threw me off because I never seen a file that came in parts without a number attached to them like .001 or so. I just thought the files within the folder I extracted were the games assets.

But I got it working in the end. Thanks Gobby and the rest of you.
