Ok I have these files

I have 3 questions
If All I need is the .iso file why are all these other files included ?

The correct way would be to extract the .iso from the .rar file open dvd decrypter write/iso method select the .iso I extracted from the .rar and that's all I should have to do correct ? just make sure I have good media and burn at 2x-4x

I have tried this about 14 times now with 4 diffrent types of media and I can get swap magic to try to load it it blinks red but then stays on a black screen It is leading me to bellive it's my media would this be something that could happen from bad media ?

BTW: I have used Fuji -R Maxell +R merorex -R memorex +R I know I know memosux but I thought I'd try it since I had it at the house besides I am new to this and I'm learning from my mistakes

Thank you for your time

I am not understanding this completely, but when you have a lot of files like this, you click on the first file and let it extract. It will take awhile and then it will make an ISO. Ignore the rest of the files and burn the ISO to a DVD-R at 4X. It should work perfectly after that.

Is there a password for the file?

I know that it is recommended by this site to burn at the lowest speed possible but for me, 4X is perfect. When I burned discs at 1X and 2X, they did not work.

Right I used the .rar file When I extracted it I got the .iso I am ignoring all the other files at the moment I was wondering what they are in there for. I did burn it to 4 diffrent types of media but I am having trouble getting it to work which leads me to belive it's a media problem. the media I used is just not good enough for a ps2 game which is why I want to buy several diffrent types to see if it is a media problem or not.

'fraid you should have continued with your existing thread here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/271955 instead of spreading the problem across different threads..
