ISO not showing up

Hopefully this will be a quick fix, so I need to access the game properties for Zelda TP, but the problem is I can't. See I can run the game fine, but it won't show up in the ISO menu thus I can't right click on it to get to the properties. I usually have to go to file, open, then select the iso. This really didn't bother me until now.

The problem might be that while I click on the file it does say it is a .iso file but the file type says it's still a winRAR file and the icon is there too and clicking on them ends up with an error saying it's damaged or unknown format. Some of my other ISO's show ups as folders which is how they should look but others don't yet they still run fine. So I'm not entirely sure if I need to rename it or what have you. I'm running Dolphin 4.0 btw.

Go to Config -> Paths and under "ISO Directories", click the "Add..."-Button, select the folder where your dumped games are and then add it. Click "OK" and then the list should refresh and the game would show up.
Now you can do a rightclick and do your stuff.

An GC/Wii ISO is different than a CD or a DVD ISO. WinRAR (and other programs) assumes the latter one and so, it doesn't regonize it. Windows only open programs based on their extensions and not what the actual format is.
Dolphin reads it like a GC/Wii ISO and so it doesn't have any problems with it.

Sorry for the delayed reply, Yep that seemed to fix it, I had to select the entire folder since they didn't show up other wise. Thanks for the help!
