I know how to burn an iso ps2 game, but how can I burn a game that is not not an iso? Or in other words when it comes is several files. I heard something about iso buster but I still cannot figure that out can anyone help me either find a program that will burn all these files together or convert over to iso?

Have a look in my sig. there's a link to how to burn image files. Also what format is the image file in? One of the more common is .mds and a bunch of other files, in that case just burn the .mds file

Are they rar files? If so, dl WinRAR, right click on the first rar, and hit extract. Presto.

You mean those are the original files you downloaded, or did you extract them and that's what you get? If you extracted them then you've gone too far, go back one step and that's the image file you'll want to burn.

If those are the files you downloaded (which shouldn't be the case), you'll need to build it to an image before you burn it.

OK this is what you'll need to do:
1) Extract the original file with WinRAR ONCE
2) Use DVD Decrypter to open the extracted file and burn it to a disc (see http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/353503 for instructions)

When you extracted it for the second time, that file you extracted is the image file, that's why you get those files. The reason WinRAR opened the file for the second time is because you have WinRAR associated with ISO files. To change this, open WinRAR, go to Options, Settings, and I think it's the right most tab, and it should have a grid of checkboxes saying something about WinRAR extension associations or something (I'm doing this off the top of my head). Uncheck ISO to prevent WinRAR from opening ISO files.

I've seen quite a few people having the same problem, and it's all because that WinRAR is by default set to be associated with ISO files. It's good in the sense that you don't need another program like UltraISO to be able to see what's inside an image file, but on the other hand it does confuse a lot of people :(

U cannot burn rars. Keep extracting until the end product is an ISO, then use DVD Decrypter to burn it to disk.

What do you mean all the other files are there? As in the image file or what's in the image file? You CAN'T burn a rar file to DVD - you need to burn an image file.

Go to C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe (or wherever it's installed)

Go to Options-->Settings...-->Integration.

Make sure ISO is unchecked.


Go to your control panel. Click on Folder Options. Click on File Types. Scroll down under Extentions until you find ISO. Go to Opens With. Check the box that says always uses the selected program to open this type of file. Click browse and locate DVD Decrypter. Click OK and then Close.

Now, anytime you have an .iso file, just double click it, and DVD Decrypter will automatically load up in the ISO-->Write setting with the .iso file selected.
