    Default Downloading Problem with FFVIII...

    I'm not sure if this is a problem with the file download, or my WinRar or what, but I'm trying to download the FFVIII iso from here:
    http://www.emuparadise.org/roms/psx/ff8/

    When I try to extract the file, this message keeps popping up:

    "You need to have the following volume to continue extraction:"

    Then it has the browse button and the file location in a dialog box.

    Then it says:

    "Insert a disc with this volume and press "OK" to try again, or press "Cancel" to break extraction".

    This is only the first iso of about 40...

    I've never had this problem with getting the games I own onto my computer before...so I'm at a loss. It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out here.

    Thanks.

    You need to download all parts of a CD for it to extract properly. Make sure they're all in the same folder as well.

    So you're saying I have to download all 10 files of the individual CDs and extract them all at the same time?

    That makes sense, and that's probably why the extraction suddenly stopped at just a short percentage the way through. ...I wish it would have been something more complicated. Now I feel like a disgrace to the technological generation.

    Anyways...

    Thanks a ton! I appreciate the help.

    You just have to extract the first one, though. WinRAR with get the info from the other files itself. Otherwise, you could end up with 10 copies.
