Fool-Proof .RAR Tutorial (now with pictures)

Nor do they even read the stickies. :P

What is MSInfo File? I can't launch it...

.nfo files open in notepad.

I'm suprised winrar needs a tutorial
but I get it, just to shut the kiddies up :Dyeah, whats the deal with nfo files...I get them sometimes when I download movies (torrents) and they are always unable to open or something similar

You open them in Notepad as said above, and they provide information about the file or download and also who provided it etc.

ohhh...it always tried to open them up with something else....go figure XD

Thank You appreciate it

THANKS A BUNCH

we dont miss them, were sometimes 2 lazy 2 read them. sorry, im guilty. and it sends a bad message when mods argue!!!

Thanks heaps for this 'fool-proof' tutorial. It was just what i needed being as bad with technology as I am. Have been trying to put games on the cyclods all day and was about to throw it because I kept getting the white screen and no games. Had I of read the forum earlier I would not have ended up so frustrated.Thanks again

WE CANT IGNORE THE NFO OR TEXT FILE!
Are we just supposed to forget the people who supplied us with the ROM?

It would be lovely to know about the people supplying the rom, but I only get about 1 in 20 nfo files that can be read. :o

they open with notepad.

Personally I use DAMN NFO Viewer, but notepad works as well, though formatting might be somewhat messed up.

.nfo files are great in Notepad, they're mostly written for Notepad.

That's entirely untrue, they're not written for any specific program, they're written following a specific charset and notepad just happen to support that partially. If you want to see how a NFO is truly supposed to look then get something designed to view them such as DAMN NFO Viewer, it's free.

Hi All, new to this site, Great tutorial, just did exactly what you said and hey presto ! It works !!!Mom04 ;D

Hey i did as instructed but instead of NDS. file I got BIN. and CUE.Im trying to get a Megaman.rar file into my PSP.Help please?

.NDS is an NDS rom so it does not apply .bin and .cue are PSX iso image files.

thanks very helpful :)

Got an R4 yesterday, stumbled over this site twenty minutes ago and got a game running already, thanks for the easy to find info and huge amount of software on here, great site and good guides, thanks
