I have 31 files all named s-kh2, and they can be extracted with winrar, and I have a bunch of files called s-kh2.r30, s-kh2.r31, s-kh2.r32 ...s-kh2.r60. I would like to play this game on my computer, but I dont have a clue as to what I need to do in order to be able to play the game. Could someone help me?
The scene has made it standard practice to split releases up into many separate pieces in RAR format (compressed files). Games are typically released in this manner. This has been done to facilitate the actual download of the release. This method has many advantages over sending a single large file including: 1) Smaller file size which lessens the transfer time and bandwidth required and 2) If there is a problem during the file transfer and data was corrupted, it is only necessary to resend the few corrupted RAR files instead of resending one large file.
You only need to extract the first file in the sequence (usually named game.rar or game.r001/.001) and the rest of the files will be uncompressed automatically. If you need step-by-step instructions on how to extract RAR archives, see Hursty's WinRAR Guide.
When the files have been extracted (uncompressed), a CD/DVD image file will be produced. A CD/DVD image is an exact digital replica of a CD/DVD, whereby all of the data is stored in one file to completely preserve the data structure and integrity of the CD/DVD. The disk image contains a complete bit-for-bit record of the contents of a disk, including any applicable file system structures. Some common disk image formats include: .ISO, .BIN/.CUE, .IMG, .NRG, .MDF/.MDS, .CCD, and .IMG.
These disk images can be burned using software such as Nero, Alcohol 120%, DVD Decrypter, and ImgBurn. See the sticky threads at the top of the PS2 DVD Backup forum if you need help in using these programs. Once burned, the game is playable ONLY on a modified PS2 console.
