Al_Fel Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Right I've downloaded a game called Ultiy mite Manspider and I haven't got a clue how to install it. There are 3 folders CD1 CD2 and CD3 each have about 31 .rar files and 3 othe files now i'm sure I have to burn them onto a CD but I have no clue how to go about this. Anyone that can help please do thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) Usually this works by opening the first .rar and extract the file. The file in there is typically an '.iso' or a '.bin'. Once you've extracted this file, download a drive emulator such as Alcohol 120% (my personal favourite - available from alcohol-soft.com). Alcohol 120% will create a 'fake' CD drive on your computer which will allow you to 'mount' the .iso or .bin file you've just extracted. Once you've opened up Alcohol, right click on the fake drive (you should know which one it is as the drive letter is new) and select 'Mount Image'. Now browse to the folder containing the .iso/.bin and select it. Now this will act as a normal CD, you can access it via My Computer to install the game. Do the same with all the CD's and simply unmount CD1 when prompted, and mount CD2 to continue the installation etc. If you need help let me know, this was kinda rushed (Y) Edited October 30, 2005 by Smo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 If there .iso files then I just burn them to cd with nero and run the install off there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Like SMO said, but you need Winrar to unzip all the files. It's free from http://www.rarlabs.com so download that and then just double click any of the files and it will unzip them all to a .iso or something. And then once you've got that, do what Smo said and mount the files using Alcohol, or Nero Imagemount if you have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 yeah but does it matter that there is like 30 .rar files for each CD folder or do I just do one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Typically, open the first one and it will read from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
