Hello I just got a game file with the extension .iso but it looks like a .rar file and can be unrared. Am I supposed to extract the files before burning or just burn that file?
This is my first burn and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

No. You burn the iso file. WinRAR is capable of extracting the iso, but you don't want to do that. So just burn the iso.

Thanks, but when I burned the game and switched it with my Swap Magic 3 plus discs i get a message saying that it is not a PS2 disc. I burned using the burning wizard in alcohol.
Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry about that mate, I tried it again and replced the white disc with the original one that came with my PS2 and the game worked.
Awesome man you rule!!!
Thanks a lot.
