Once you have your GCM, the RAR's are redundant. Delete them. Or if you want, back them up. The GCM can go anywhere.

Do you want to get warned or something? 3 Times posting all about Dolphin?

You need to extract the game after you download it, and then extract one of the RARs again. Then, you will have the .gcm you need.

No. You just extract ONE file. That's it. Doesn't matter which. The programs is smart enough to find all the diff RARs and extract it all together.

hey guys

umm alright, i am pretty new to this whole "emulator thing" i have project 64 and FCEUX, for the n64 and NES, both of them worked fine so i decided to get dolphin about a month ago, and i'm having trouble burning isos to discs, i use power2go, if that helps, it always says it is invalid or something, and dolphin cant seem to play it, so it keeps crashing.

-----------------------------------------

also i dont get step 3 which i was/am trying to do

"3. Double click on the first rar file in this folder then select "Extract to" again. This will give you your image file.  The first rar file will have an extension of *.rar while the other rar files will have .r01, .r02, etc.  Unless you tell Windows to show file extensions, it might be hard to distinguish which file is the first one. You can always select a file and do right-mouse click Properties to see the file extension."

i downloaded zelda twilight princess from the following link:

http://thepurplecube.org/forums/index.php?topic=7176.0

and ihave no idea how to distinguish the first one,
the first .rar file that comes up is of the name:
 
"Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess (J).part02"

i don't know if thats the right one, if it is please
tell me because  i hav absolutely no idea
also i use vista home basic, with pentinum dual core
if that helps too
it'd be great if you guys could help me,


 thanks.

1 - Dolphin Issues go elsewhere. However, you should not need to burn it to a disc.

2 -
a. After you have downloaded my RARs, you need to extract one of the three RARs that you downloaded
b. Then, you ignore the other two parts and go inside the new folder after the extraction finishes. From there, double click on one of the .RAR files again and start the extraction again. From there, you should get the .iso/.gcm file you would need.

can you give me step by step instructions for getting a torrent for super smash bros brawl for and then turning it into an iso and mounting it and etc.

also if i only need to extract one of the .rars then why do i download the other 2
-------------------------------------
Also I got a rom for zelda ocarina of time master quest from emu paradise
but i got it as a .rar file, how do i get it into a zipped file, so i can use it with project 64?
the link is: http://www.emuparadise.org/cgi-bin/download.cgi?n64-ZeldaMQ
if it helps

i know that project 64 isn't a game cube emulator and is sort of off topic but i' having real trouble so i would appreciate if you guys could help me

OK. No. We don't offer torrents. And if you are using dolphin, you DON'T NEED TO MOUNT IT or BURN IT. It reads from your hard drive (you select the .iso).

Because the first rar gets info from the other two to complete the extraction.


Same thing. Unzip it with WINRAR.

If you need help with DOLPHIN, DO NOT POST HERE

Two: If you need to get Brawl, we do not give them. IF YOU ARE LOOKING for the torrent for that, don't ask us. That has NOTHING to do with this site.

Hey...

I'm new to the gamecube roms, so I'm a little unsure of a few things.

Firstly, is it only this site that offers full, functional gamecube games? I just got through downloading a torrent (for PS2, but because it had the same .iso extension I assumed it would still work) and the steps had little effect. I couldn't find the .iso file at all (and I followed the steps carefully at that). The other question that I had was whether or not you provide the full versions of the gamecube games on here. I checked out some of the downloads and it said that games such as sphinx and the cursed mummy were only demo versions (which is why I turned to another site that provided a torrent). I'd really like the full version of this game... Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.

As stated in the FAQs, they're "Demo" so they don't get deleted by the host. Regardless, be rest assured they're full games ;).

I don't get your first question. Please restate it.
