    Default File does not contain the game.

    I downloaded the game and used unarchiver but all there was in the file were "pa-nsuniu" documents(I have a mac if that changes anything).

    What game? Maybe post a link to it (if it was from here)

    It's possible you have the game already and you extracted the iso itself which can happen if the iso extension is associate with you compression utility or even that it's showing it as a document because your file system doesn't know what it is.

    Double checking the file properties for the files you have can help clear some stuff up too, maybe even post a screenshot of what you have.

    pa sounds like PlayAsia and the game in question is a PSP game, this was a issue posted before with someone and those junky android file extraction tools.

    You are going to need to use the latest build of 7zip on your PC to extract the PSP image and move it on back.

    That is what is attempting to play.

    It's a scene release, most are split archives like that. Extract from pa-nsuniu.rar.
    Best to use 7zip but if the only computer you have access to (which I find hard to believe) is a Mac then I have no idea what you can use.

    Sorry but I do not really understand what you are trying to say about the "7zip" and the "PSP image". I just recently downloaded the PSP emulator if that is what you mean.

    I am new to using emulators and such so there is still a lot I do not understand.

    7zip is archive software, basically a compression/packing tool.
    If you don't understand what disc images and archives are then you should do some reading. Both have been around for a very long time.
    We all had to learn at some point.

    I unfortunately broke my PC so for a few months all I have access to is a mac but thanks for trying to help anyway. Also do you know of any places where I can read up on this, as i said I am new to this and it would help if I understood it more and do not have to ask so many questions in the future. As for the archive software, I have "Keka" and it has worked for the other games(Nintendo DS) but not for PSP.

    Ahh ok. So it's a split archive. Someone zipped and split the file then zipped it again is all. No biggie.

    Just extract the .r00 file and it will automatically combine it with all those other parts. Dunno if your zip software can do it. But there must be something for a Mac that can. Maybe a version of winrar for Mac???

    That isn't the first part of the split archive. Look at the first pic in post #4.
    It's a scene release split archive inside an archive.

    There's already software associated with RAR archives judging by the screenshots.

    Unless you want to research this further to see if there is a better compressed archive extraction method on mobile but I think its best to wait till you get a nice PC.
