What Up!
I've got a problem that hopefully one of you tech-heads could help solve regarding downloaded games in rar format. I have downed two games from Emule and tried to extract with winrar, but get format errors so I have repaired them. They all seem to repair well, though I do get get suspicious script warnings throughout. Then when I try to extract the repaired files it always seems to be missing the r.00 file though it was present in the repair. I have tried to use stuffit instead but eventually recieve a format error and only part of the file extracts. Used the SFV checker and it detected the folders but says files are missing even though in extraction the file sizes are present.

Sometimes if no prog is instaled that recognice ISO files winrar try to open ISO-files. Check the file-extension. File extension is the three last letters in the filename: *.txt, *.rar *.iso...

Haven't tried using isobuster on the files yet, let's give it a shot.
Thanx for the help & interest. This forum seems to be a dying breed.

It seems that alot of people change the file extension on .iso's so they can be transferred easier. I found this to be the case with .zip, .rar, etc.
Also try using powerarchiver from www.powerarchiver.com. A good all around utility for compressed files.
