Did it download as rar files?

if so extract the 1st one to a destenation of your choice.. and then burn to a dvd in Nero or DVD Decrypter at a slow speed.

when you say you cant burn... what do you mean excactly?

you get a free program called Winrar
install it
create a folder on your hard drive for the game
take the first of the 32 files, like game.001 and right
click on the file
choose "extract to" from the drop down menu
choose the folder you made to extract the file to as the destination.
let it do it's thing (about 10-20 minutes)
then let us know what happens

you usually get an ISO file which you would just burn to DVD

i am not sure where i got it, but there are other sites out there
that was just the first one i came across
it does what it says it does
due to legal issues i will let anyone else who cares
to explain it do so. But if you don'y know what cracks are
or key generators just do some research
i am sure you can find the program VERY useful

hey accadacca,
all your answers are right there in black and white
1. If you download games they are compressed and you
will need to get WinRAR to extract the ISO file from one of those
32 files you say you got. Use the first one like game.001 After you install WinRAR then right click on that first rar file and choose "extract to" and pick a place on your hard drive to put it.
That should give you an ISO
2. Once you have the ISO file use whatever program you like
to burn it to a DVD, i prefer DVD-R 8X speed
TDK, Philips, Verbatim, Ritek G04, Taiyo Yuden
I like DVD Decrypter the best and here is how to use it.
http://home.earthlink.net/~moderator/id3.html
I suggest burning it at 4X with 8X discs, if you have 4X discs
just set DVD Decrypter write speed to 1X and it will usually do it at 2.4X or something like that which may work ok. But faster speed
discs work better with games that need fast loading screens
Since downloading games is illegal you are lucky you are
getting any help at all. Do a search as this process of using Winrar
has been explained 10000 times, at least once a day.
