Title says it all, I am new here and don't really know how to navigate, or where to put this! >.<
So how do I make a .rar, or any file a .iso that I can run on a gamecube emulator?

Okay,
1. .rar is a type of compression (like .zip) so you'll have to extract it with WinRAR (I prefer J-Zip because it opens every compression type)
2. If the compressed file isn't a .iso file, chances are you'll have to convert the image file (ex. .img) to .ISO
3. If it is a .iso file than your set =]

If the .rar files give you a .bin or maybe .img or whatever, just rename it to .iso1. .rar is a type of compression (like .zip) so you'll have to extract it with WinRAR (I prefer J-Zip because it opens every compression type)
2. If the compressed file isn't a .iso file, chances are you'll have to convert the image file (ex. .img) to .ISO

It's not always a good idea to rename a file extension. It can sometimes result in a corrupt file. Though chanes are it will probably work under the circumstances given here. There are plenty of programs on the net that can easily convert files for you, like MagicISO and such.
So I have these Roms downloaded for Tales of Symphonia, and one of them has an audio issue, and the other one has weird files within weird files... I'll try and elaborate. (Example of navigation.)
Tales Of Symphonia USA-RARE

Tales Of Symphonia

CD1
CD2 (Lets say I click "CD1".)
>
rare-sos.rar
rare-sos.r00
rare-sos.r01
rare-sos.r02
(Same pattern all the way up to 20.)
rare-sos.sfv
How would I convert all of this to be an .iso that will run on Dolphin?
You should be able to just extract the file and it should extract to a ISO or some file readable by an emulator or burnable to CD. I like to test my ISO images. So I mount them with a virtual drive and test them in a emulator. This is actually usually the only way you can play ISO images, though some emulators you can just load up the image without mounting it. Also, files ending .r00, simply highlight them(select all of them), and right click, you should get an option to extract them into one big file.
It isn't extracting to a readable .iso... I am trying to work with it all a little bit to make some sense out of it, but can somebody point me toward a good Rom for Tales of Symphonia? None of the ones on Emuparadise are working.

Do you keep getting an extraction error? The file may be corrupt. You might have to re-download it or download it from another source. If none of the emuparadise sources are working, you could try SOR or a torrent or something.

There are no errors while extracting it with WinRAR... It just won't become an ISO file... :'(
Have you tried re-downloading it? Otherwise can you share the link to the file?

I haven't tried re-downloading it, but I will do that for sure. All of the links on this page title "Tales of Symphonia" or something rather do not work, The link Tales of Symphonia (Europe) Disc 1 does work, but the audio is messed up and it runs at low fps. (It's not my pc, I know that much.)
