S┼◄ÑKCH
you have to choose which folder to extract it to before you extract it cause it could end up wherever winrar puts it

erm.. in the 1st place it should nt have psp game when i extract it right>>?
S┼◄ÑKCH
pretty much what I do is download a file and choose open with winrar if its a zip or rar file and then just drag whatever I downloaded to the desktop its a little easier in my opinion

What do you get when you extract it?
Make sure you haven't extracted the .iso file (it's auto-associated with WinRAR), many people seem to be doing this recently.

i get psp game folder.. and inside it look like it contain the data of the game such as their music,pic, etc all that stuff
S┼◄ÑKCH
do you have umdgen if so drag the files from winrar to wherever you like them drag them to umdgen and you can make a iso cso or dax image
b'beaT
ya i gt umdgenv2.00..
S┼◄ÑKCH
you should upgrade umdgen to 3.5
b'beaT
can it be used to make into an iso or cso?? anyway how i actually convert the thing?
S┼◄ÑKCH
yeah you can make iso cso or dax what you do is take the PSP_GAME folder and UMD_DATA.BIN and drag them to the umdgen then go to the top left corner of umdgen and go to file save as and then you can name the game and choose to save it as a ISO, Cso or dax image which is the smallest format and if your using devhook you can download support for dax herepsp-hacks

I think I know what's going on.

The .iso file you are creating (and had to begin with I suspect) is auto-associated with WinRAR, so it looks like a WinRAR file. This just means that WinRAR CAN extract, not that you SHOULD extract it. As long as the file extension is ".iso", even if it has the WinRAR archive icon, that is the file you should copy to the "ms:\ISO\" directory on your PSP and play using DevHook.
