shen293 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 This may be a little off topic but the question is how to burn downloaded computer games? My game file is in rar. format and I want to burn the game in a sense that whenever I pop in the disc.. the Installlation setup for the game so how do I do that before I start burning the game? Do I just burn the file as a whole? or no? (not sure if you guys understand what I'm saying)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Doesn't it tell you how to burn them on the site you downloaded them from? A RAR file is a compressed file, you need to decompress it using something like WinRAR.
shen293 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I did it before... but now I totally forgot xD and I went through around looking some say it has to be in ISO file? any ideas?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Like I said, decompress your rar file and see what you're left with.
shen293 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I got 3 .dll files 1 setup file MS-DOS batch file(which im suppose to run to get to installation setup) like 5 winrar archive folders and 1 readme folder should I choose to burn these files? or the 1 file compressed one? thanks
Cynthia Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Burn them to a RW disc and see what happens when you run the .bat file from the burned disc.
shen293 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 sry..which one are you talking about to burn tho? the one with a whole bunch of different files? or the compressed one? (im assuming you meant the first one yea?)
Cynthia Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Open up this file in notepad or similar text editor and post what's in it. It should clear out what's needed. 1 setup file MS-DOS batch file(which im suppose to run to get to installation setup)
shen293 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 its an .exe file tho.. I believe cant seem to open it in notepad this file is the setup installation file..
Cynthia Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I got 3 .dll files1 setup file MS-DOS batch file(which im suppose to run to get to installation setup) like 5 winrar archive folders and 1 readme folder should I choose to burn these files? Try to burn all of these and run the install file when it's burned. Might be something useful in that readme folder.
shen293 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 I checked it before... nothing much doesnt really tell to how to burn it to a DVD as you could've just downloaded and play it off the computer but for me, as to try and save space I want to burn it to DVD ok I'll try to burn it thanks =)
Cynthia Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Use a RW if you doesn't want to waste a disc (in case it doesn't work).
