downloading and burning some 360 games

hey when i donwload some torrents from pirate bay they come with several files normal like this s2fax-dgr.001 what do i have to do with these files to get it to burn and work thanks.

 

.001 etc is usually 7zip. You will need to download that and install it. Then you should be able to extract the ISO. You need to run the ISO through ABGX to verify it is properly patched since you downloaded the game.

 

.rar extensions need a program called win rar to extract. they are just compressed files, so you need a program to decompress them.

 

there about 20 of these and none is an iso

 

Right click on the first one and there should be an extract option.

 

i have already extracted all of the files and there all the same apart from the .001 .002 .003 .004 .005 ect i got told i need to merge them all together so i have done then i changed that file into an iso and tried using abgx360 and it comes up with an error message saying the game is not a 360 game or stealthed file any ideas what im doin wrong

 

when you obtained the files there should be a bunch of them .00 .01 .02 .03, ect. ect. make sure you have the programs installed that we told you about, (which you can download for free) then just right click on the .00 file and there should be a menu that comes up, on the menu look for a option that say the word "extract" it may say something along the lines of "extrach here" click that, let it run for about 5 mins, depending on how fast your pc is. then you will have your .dvd image or .iso image that you can run through abgx or whatever, and then you can burn it!

 

well ive extracted all the files using win rar and then ive been told by a friend i need to join them or sumat and got given a program to do this now i have one big file have a i done sumt wrong or what do i do next?

 

your friend is stupid, quit talking to him. thats what you want is one big file. you just need to run that file through abgx, if it passes burn it!

 

ok ive merged the files together and ended up with this file

s2fax-dgr and it is 6,972,616kb in size so what do i do next with this file ive tried opening it in xgb360 but it doesnt even show up?

 

Right click the file, left click Properties. What does it say for "Type of file"

 

s2fax-dgr

OK. Try renaming the file to s2fax-dgr.iso and then see what abgx says

 

ok it know shows up in abgx but i get the same message could it be the file is just no gd?

 

That's your problem mate. In some cases you do have to merge .001, .002 etc. files together with a program like HJSplit, but not with 360 games - not if they are scene releases anyway.

You have to extract the file(s) inside the split archives rather than joining them together. If you have WinRAR installed, just right click on the .001 file and choose "Open with..." and then select WinRAR, then you'll be able to extract the file(s) inside.

 

your a star mate thanks for your help this seemed to work will post back when i try and burn it

 

works a treat thank you so much for your help where would i be with out you

 

Probably still listening to that stupid friend.

 

I have winrar, and I have extracted files and they created ISO and I have burned 10 disc and they still do not work what am I doing wrong. Couple of the disk it said the file was to big, so I am at a lost. I am actually totally lost (lol) I am dl a rar file right now and I have not clue what do after that, so any information you guys can help me with would be greatly appreciated.

 

ok it's like this i have a big dvd right, so how do i make that smaller so i can upload it to the internet, and make it faster for people to download? the solution, is compressing the files. people use a program called win rar, the program will take the dvd and compress it down into o i dunno lets say 40 - 50 files. those are called .rar files. the reason there are so many is because what you are downloding is a huge amount of information, and lets say it was one big file, what happens if you lose your internet connection? you guessed it, you would have to start over. this way you can download smaller files and stop when needed. once you have all of the .rar files, you use win rar to extract the files back into what it once was, the orig. game or dvd or whatever it is you are downloading. extracting the files is simple, step one download your .rar files. step 2, downlod win rar. step 3 right click one of the .rar files and click extract. done. .rar files should not be confused with .par files, those are two seperate things.
