    Default What happened?

    I tried download Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete off of Emuparadise, but I think I have a problem and wanted to make sure so I don't waste time playing it. When I go to load the game on ePSXe, I only see the first disc, yet I downloaded all the files. What happened, and can I fix this? Thanks.

    Well, you have to extract the first file for the first CD, then the first file for the second one. Just do the first ones, the rest will happen on it's own.
    Maybe you placed the second disk somewhere else?

    I extracted all the files the I downloaded, and from looking at the folder I saved everything too, Disc 2 as all the file extension things as Disc 1 except for .img What would have happened to this file?

    Well, if you don't have the .img, then you don't have the game. :\
    Try extracting the first file of the second cd again. Just the first one. See what it does.
    BTW, maybe you already know this, but you just have to extract the first file, the comp will get the data out of the other files.

    I've tried downloading and extracting the first Disc 2 file twice, but both times it gives me the same two errors: File is corrupt, and Unexpected end of archive. How do I fix this?

    check the file sizes of all the files and then compare them to the links. It could be only 1 that didn't download correctly for some reason. The last file is usually always smaller, but all the other files other than the last file should be the same size.

    I downloaded the file over again and tried to extract it, only to get the exact same errors again. I also checked the file sizes, and the file I'm having problems with is the same most of the others, with the exception of Disc 2's file 2 and its last file.

    Then those should be brought to the attention of MasJ via the broken link forum. Just a sec.

    EDIT: There we are. Nice trip, huh?

    A few quick questions. One, about how long does it take for them to fix a problem like this, and how will I know when it's fixed? And two, while I'm waiting, would I still be able to play Disc 1 and continue it when Disc 2 is fixed, or do I have to get both discs files together before I can play it or my game data won't carry over?

    You can play through the first one without a problem.
    As soon as this thread is seen by MasJ, it will be taken care of.
