    Default Help with extracting RAR with unarchiver (mac user) in order to play GC ISO

    So I'm trying to play some GameCube games on Dolphin on the Wii. We have Melee working but when we tried to get some other games (Spyro and Ocarina of Time) we ran into the a problem. When I extract the RAR files it doesn't give me one .gcm folder to then put into Dolphin. Instead I get separate document folders that I don't know what to do with. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Okay, can you open the RAR file for your game with unarchiver to view its contents (not just extract)? If so, do that and post a screenshot of the window showing the contents of the file. If you need a place to upload the picture, imgur.com works well.
    "I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"

    just use 7-zip and the smaller documents are also compressed files split into smaller files and also need extracting, 7-zip can handle the smaller docs as well as the main archive.

    depending on the format you extract split files y the first numbered file, but sometimes they are with a .rar file (usually numbered .r## where # is a number) in those cases you extract by the .rar file instead
