Problems with getting ISO files

[rower101]

Hello I've just started using PCSX2, the first game i wanted to download was The fast and the furious tokyo drift.
http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Plays...50265-download
I downloaded it from this link. when i open the 7zip file using winrar it tells me that its extracting the iso however when i shows the file there is no ISO.
even thoufg the file has .ISO in the name it is in a WinRar archive format.
please help

All files on Emuparadise are packed into a WinRAR archive format. The reason for this is to make it easier to send over files since the archive is smaller than the actual file inside the archive.

This file of Fast and Furious begins as a WinRAR archive, simply extract the file inside the archive using 7Zip or WinRAR whichever is preferred and the ISO will appear.

You just have *.iso files associated with winrar, easy enough to change if you wanted but that does not effect how it reads in PCSX2

You may also have *.iso files as one of the file types that winrar extracts, best to remove that from the winrar settings or just use 7-zip instead of winrar to extract with

Thanks to everyone who responded. I know that they are originally packed in the 7zip file and have to be extracted. after a bit of searching i found that it was all caused by WinRar associating the ISO file and extracting all the files in the ISO. Thanks Zorlon although i only read your comment afterwards it's exactly what i would have needed.

Hi sorry if this is bit for a noob moment, but I've recently downloaded Star Ocean Till End Of Time ( bit of nostalgia ) and I've downloaded it 2wice now and I can't extract the file using 7zip even though it's a 7Z file. Everytime I try to extract and get the extraction window with the notice "Can not open file 'C:\Uses\Michael\Downloads\StarOcean - Till the End of Time (USA) (Disc1).7z' as archive". It's like I've downloaded a blank file, can anyone help? I loved playing this game till stupid sony decided to cancel Ps2 emulation on the Ps3 and I had to ditch it.

sounds like the download has just failed and is corrupt

Damn, any suggestions on where else I might find another english download link? The only other 4 I found are all in japanese.

There's a good chance the link you used is fine; files (from any website mind you) just get corrupted during the download process from time to time. If you try downloading it again and the file breaks again, try using a download manager extension; if you're using Firefox use this, if using Chrome try this.

I'll try it now.
