The first one is a RAR file, not a zip. It is still compressed and requires decompression before it can run on your PSP. You should download either WinRar or 7zip.
Another problem I see is I think you decompressed the ISO by mistake.

When you install Winrar, go to custom instal and DO NOT associate ISO files with it.
Also go to folder option on your PC and change it so you can see file extensions. Not knowing what the extension is can trick you when it has an icon associated with a program.

my winrar is not associated with .iso file and thanks for the tip for the folder options
but the problem remains in my 1st problem any idea what i can do? i alredy extracted the downloaded .rar file what do i do to make yu-gi-oh playable in my psp despite having .001-.049 files should i make them to a iso image ??? please help ;( i wanted to play yu-gi-oh so badly

You need to find the first part and open it then extract the iso, I have the same scene release and the first part is v-ygo5ds.001

Also since the image is underdumped http://renascene.com/info/umd/2037 you can use the patch pack I provided here on the forum to make it a proper dump but since this one is just a underdump its not needed to play, its not hurting any of the games files .

If you want the patches here you go, http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...ene-Dump-Fixes

On a game related note, If you wish to play Tag Force online in say PPSSPP feel free to let me know in a PM since I play Tag Force quite a bit , very fun.

[Jericho1221]

i see you like Yu-Gi-Oh a lot
It seems like i cant open and extract the v-ygo5ds.001 i am currently using WinRar
What am i doing wrong? do i need another programs to extract the .001 file
another question is do i require to download the patch you provided
im so sorry but i am new at downloading stuff to my psp

[Warrior]

Did you extract the entire folder?

you need every part in the folder extracted then you open 001 then extract.

The patch is not required for this game, some games do require a patch since they have corrupted files in the iso.

The patch just fixes the underdump, no game data is bad.

Il help you to the best of my ability, I was new to this stuff once in my life as well .

To make this Noob friendly I would use this to extract , http://www.7-zip.org/

7zip much better and simplified , winrar is complicated and not noob friendly.

if you choose to use 7zip use the latest alpha/beta version, its on the right side of the home page.

Does your PSP have custom Firmware installed?

If so what is the version?

I can help run you through the process of updating it to the latest CFW .

In the meantime you can run Yugioh Tag Force kinda perfectly with this,

http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/

just choose the latest build and your OS type, 32 or 64 bit.

also stick this in your PPSSPP flash0 folder,

http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/PPSSPP

scroll down to "these fonts" and click on it, download the font pack and extract the folder to where I mentioned then all your text issues will be fixed.

I will help you some more in a few hours.

[Jericho1221]

i exactly dont know if i have a cfw installed because this is a secondhand psp but i will give you my firmware version here it is:5.00 M33-4
and i have tried ppsspp i am very happy with its performance

BTW Thanks for All you help D

[Warrior]

Ya that is custom firmware all right...............old custom firmware.................

to have the best experience you would need to update to the latest CFW but you may have some trouble like I did, its best if you ask experts on the matter .

What model of PSP do you have?

[Jericho1221]

Will do sir i will search the web for tutorials
i have PSP-1000 the fat one

And a quick question do other games in psp requires a correct version of firmware to run in my PSP?
And Also Can u help in upgrading my CFW?

OK Good, do you have access to a Pandora battery where you live?

When messing with the PSP firmware you will need one and a magic memory stick in case you brick the PSP, you can unbrick it with those tools.

Its best to update the PSP CFW or you will not have a easy time playing games or any homebrew, you will have to patch your games and its very obnoxious and time consuming.

Since I am still very inexperienced in PSP know how il try to ask around and see if there is any more help for your problem.

It's been a while since I've done anything with CFW on the PSP, but last I checked you shouldn't actually need a pandora battery to do CFW installs and updanymore, as the PSP firmware has been wide open for a while now. Having one handy can be useful in the event you manage to brick your PSP, but as long as you follow instructions properly and don't let the power die during the install, the chances of bricking are pretty small.

That said, when looking through update guides I'm getting conflicting information on whether or not extra steps I'm not familiar with will be necessary, due to the particular firmware OP is on. If anyone else here happens to know if it's more complicated than just updating to OFW 6.60 and then running a CFW installer hopefully they'll see this post. In the meantime I'll scour around and see what I can find out.

[Warrior]

In my case when I was given my PSP the PSPs keys were corrupted and when I went through the update process and was stuck on OFW and had no means to downgrade or upgrade the firmware, was softbricked and the only way to fix it was a magic memory stick and pandora battery to fix the corrupted keys and have the system in fully usable condition again.

Hence why its best to have those tools because none of this is absolute

[deadlegion]

You don't need Pandora battery Update your psp to 6.60 OFW...

http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...-61-plus-bonus

Then install whatever CFW you want. If you're going to use PRO CFW then install 6.60 PRO-C fix3 as it fixes Classics support that was previously messed up.
E1000 series can't use perm CFW, not sure about Go.

Haven't seen any confirmation about 6.61 OFW being needed for games so don't bother imo.
