    Multiple posting in a row isn't allowed, don't do it again, please. When asking for help, be patient and wait for someone to help you or use the search feature yourself, this is a common problem the one you are facing.

    What you have there are original compressed files. You have to extract them to get the image file to run in your emulator/PSP console. Use 7zip or Winrar to extract.

    It looks like you didn't download the whole thing. It seems to be a split archive so make sure you grab all the parts and it will automatically extract the whole thing. Make sure all the parts are in the same folder and use 7zip.





    Can you link to the download so we can have a look also?

    Looking closer at the first screen shot you need to extract here in the sub menu of 7zip on the .00 part and it should automatically combine the whole thing - Don't use winrar use 7zip and once it's installed you can simply right click and hover the mouse over 7zip and the next context menu will open and click on extract here.

    If you are still having problems, I usually (after the first extraction with winrar, which has worked fine for me) select all the files together ,except the system info file and the .sfv file, and extract again. This should give you one large iso file which is your game for PSP ISO folder. check in (right-click) preferences that it is not read-only (so you can later delete directly from psp without corrupting data and having to reformat memory stick).

    Try again using a download manager such as www.freedownloadmanager.org that I use myself when downloading from the main site

    Best to extract with 7-zip, extract the main archive first to it's own folder then extract via pa-amnesia.rar only via 7-zip

    Okay, so from what I gather you've managed to get the first, big .rar file extracted, and that gave you a new folder with all the .r00, .r01 etc files right? In that new folder, go through those files and see if you can find another one with just .rar at the end, like the first one, and extract that, not the .r00 file.
    "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 -"
