General question about extracting .RARs...But not what you're thinking...

So I now have The Warriors on my computer...With 54 parts to it...They are each named: "wrx-thwar.part01.rar," "wrx-thwar.part02.rar," etc...Here's my question...Do I need to extract each one?...The reason I ask is as follows:

Parts 1-53 are all exactly 47.6Mb, and the last part, Part 54, is 9.94Mb...I've never dealt with .rar's before when it comes to PS2 games anyway...I usually just work with .iso's, which I think are 1,000,000 times easier to work with...

So I experimented by just extracting the first file (wrx-thwar.part01.rar) - it extracted a 3.97Gb file called "wrx-thwar.iso" Is that the only file I need like with a regular .iso or do I really need to extract all of the remaining parts? I thought I'd ask before I waste the time extracting the exact same file over and over again...Please, any help would be greatly appreciated...Thank you.

yes, very good for a beginner. Just that alone starts pages
and pages of questions.
When you extract the first file, watch WinRAR and you will see that
it is actually extracting all of them. This will then
give you the ISO that you need. Take that ISO and burn
it to a GOOD QUALITY blank DVD and your set, well your set as long
as your PS2 is modded to play back ups.
