I DOWNLOADED THESE .01 .02 /.001 .002/.part1.rar .part2.rar FILES....what do i do?

Warning; I've never done this, only read it.

Some PlayStation game backups can't be played because they are too big (for SwapMagic or to play with chip, I'm not sure). Usually, these have dummy files that are only there to take space on the disk to inprove performance. You can just replace the dummies with zero byte files, and then rebuild the ISO.

 

i downloaded gundam seed: alliance vs zaft for ps2, and i have a quick question about it. i have my original somewhere, and in my desperate attempt to play, i tried downloading and burning it. at any rate, when i use my friend's swap magic to play it, it takes an incredibly long time to load after swapping. i was wondering if someone could help me with this problem? i mean, the loading time is in the tens of minutes (20-30 mins, etc) for each little option i choose. thanks in advance. great forum btw.

 

oh for the love of.. sorry about the inconvenience i may have caused anyone that read this post. i feel like a total idiot now. thanks for the other threads.

 

guys
just d/l a game and it has wierd folders than contain MDF files. now i dont have an idea what to do with them how do i get the image file out of them. the six main folders bonus dvd, cd1,cd2,cd3,cd4 and original soundtracks. anyone have any clues??

 

The MDF files are images. Burn them with DVD  Decrypter http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/DVD_Decrypter/1011845169/1

 

they are 10 of them do i put them in a folder then burn them on one dvd

and wat do i do with the original soundtrack folder that contains the songs of the game.

 

If there are many, they might be multi-part, or they might be seperate disks. Check the sizes of the files for a clue. There will possible be a very small file (<1 MB) (serving a purpose similar to an index) for each disk that DVD  Decrypter http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/DVD_Decrypter/1011845169/1 will open and burn the proper disk for you.

Also check the source for the files for help.

Just putting them all in one folder on a DVD won't work.

 

the file are like 10 in number. the arein different folders and the around 700 or 800 mb each file. after that there is a single folder that contain tracks(songs) for the game. what am i suppose to do with that folder.

 

i have done it with dvd decrypter. but when i insert the disc it plays a video clip and when i press the start button it says that the disc can't perfome wat asked. why is that ??

 

can you only do this on WinRar?
if not then tell me other things you can do the same thing e.g:nero,Fireburner

 

Nero and Fireburner are burning software. WinRAR is archive software.

WinRAR will let you extract image files (for your burning software) from downloaded archive files.

WinRAR can also extract data from image files, but you should not do that, you should just let the burning software handle the image files and burn the intended disk by itself.

 

ok but after you`ve extracted the files what else do you do
because i`m going to burn a copy of Super DBZ and I really need help,cuz this is my first disk. In FireBurner;I`m currently at the part where it says

Track # Mode/Sector Size Track Time Postgap Time
1 Mode 1/2048 250:237:195 00:00:00

Total Time: Source File
250:239:195 SuperDBZISO

do i have to burn it now or are there more things
btw:i`m using a cd-r to burn it in

 

just one question
is the game a cd game??
u can know this my simply looking at the size of the image file.
if it exceeds 1GB then it's a dvd game. so u should get a dvd-r/+r.

i would recommade getting dvd decrypter as it's free and very simple to use. to make things more simple check this guide.

can anyone tell me wgat is an .daa file is and how to work it..

 

i think files with the extension are iso's that are compressed with a program called poweriso,so maybe you need to use that

 

oh alrite ill try that thanks

 

GET WINRAR AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FOR YOU

 

I tried winrar and it can't extract the files. I've used winrar for years but there was always at least one file with an extension .rar. The ones I have end in .001 and so on. I try to right click and open the files and I get a pop-up window telling me the file is either in unknown format or damaged.

 

post a screen shot please
