Or you can just use the latest version of WinRAR if you're already using that program, it will unpack 7z files as well.

All of them-chose which one you want-the beauty of this site is that is packs in all the different regions/hacks/test versions in the same one (if it's a classic rom :) ) so pick the one you prefer (some translated one are included if you, say read spanish XD)...

Replying to #7

Prehaps something went wrong during download...keep that one, but redownload it...Can I ask one question-why does this site prefer winrar to 7-zip-is it because of all the different versions of it that confuses people?I switched after I got sick of those "buy me now" messages, since unless it's cracked, have to pay for...'Funny note-my one stopped working after a month-got another one that went past it-but got sick of the message LOL!But each to thier own, they work the same...

okay I will go download it again (third time) but if it doesnt work I will download it again and keep it, I usually trash it every time.

I'd keep them, sometimes half way thru, I find out it works-could have been something I do wrong XDDo you use a download manager?

No! The file you get is a .iso file most likely, you need to either burn this or mount it into a virtual drive like Daemon-tools or alcohol 52% and then run it in an emulator.if it extracts properly from the .rar/.7zip file then it's all proper.

okay yeah thats what I get, but arent all those files buy only? is there a free mounting tool?

No, some are free, alchol 52% is what I use...options are limited on this one (unlike 120%) but it does fine with most iso romming and games...and does basic conversions (mdf and mds, ccd format as well) for cd's.(I thought by archive, you got another rar inside a rar or something :()

well it looked like a rar I had to check it and I was going by the image my computer showed (stupid Vista) but it said iso next to it.
