Extracted game ISOs just give empty files?

I've been looking for a solution to my problem for 2 days now and I'm hoping this is a good place to ask about it... I ripped Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario Kart Wii with homebrew and cleanrip and all of that. I extract the ISOs and try to open the fils in .BRRES viewer. It didn't work with an .ARC, and I assumed it was because it was a .ARC... Then I tried opening a .BRRES file, and it still gives the error "not a valid .Brres file... Then I realized that all these .brres/.arc/.szs files I'm getting are 0 KB, and I'm starting to believe these files being nothing is the cause of my problems.

I also noticed that there would seem to be 2 ISOs in the SD card, 1 much smaller than the other. (this happened with both games)[Image: Captura.png] I have a good feeling that this is connected to the files being empty...

This is my first time ripping games and posting a thread so sorry if I did/do anything stupid Confused Tongue

..Thanks!

If you're just trying to play the games in Dolphin, you don't need to extract anything.

Since cleanip did 4GB split files on you (I'm guessing because you ripped to a FAT32 formatted drive), you need to join the two files together to get something you can use in Dolphin.

http://www.igorware.com/file-joiner this might work.

Alternatively you can just re-rip the game to a NTFS formatted drive.

Oh yeah, probably would've been a good idea to mention I'm doing more than emulating it. I'll try the file joiner, Thank you! Smile
