Well, when you downloaded it, chances it came as a *.ZIP or a *.RAR file. In other words, what's the extension, the last three digits, past the " . "? Once you find that out, search for it on Google.

While I may sound a little rude in suggesting it this way, I'm only doing so, because I believe you have the competency to learn how to do something like this in the future. Hope this helps. Mouser X out.

It came in a .rar file, I've never seen this type of file before thats why I'm lost with this. I appreciate the response and I'll try to google it, in the meanwhile if you have any more info on the .rar file I would really appreciate the help. Thanks...

Get WinRAR or any other program that handles crompressed RAR archives and work from there. RAR is one the most common compressed archive formats, so I find it a little hard to believe that you have not stumbled upon it in any form until now (unless you got your first computer only recently and/or you are fairly oblivious to compressed file formats in general).

Please, look at the topics in this, and other forums, on this board. Specifically, here (http://www.emutalk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=103) and here (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=20629). If I seem annoyed, I appoligize. However, these questions are asked nearly everyday. That's why these FAQ topics and rules are posted. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore on that. Mouser X over and out.

Dreamcast games are not ROMs even though their prior medium were GD-ROMs. Dumped Dreamcast games are CD images like all dumps of CD/DVD-based games.

Read the board rules please.
