So I try to play metroid prime 2 with the dolphin emulator, but all I get is a black screen, and then after a bit the emulator shuts off by itself. I can play the first metroid prime game just fine, in fact, I beat the game, but for some reason, this isn't working with metroid prime 2? Even when I choose to open a file from my file browser, I have to select "all files", for the game to show up, I don't have to do this with metroid prime 1, which shows up in the file browser when it looks for "All GC/Wii files (elf, dol, gcm, iso, wbfs, ciso, gcz, wad)"
Sounds like it wasn't dumped correctly, try it again.

Sorry, I don't get what you mean by "dumped", can you explain a bit?
Just get the game from off your disc like you did before.

Oh yeah, that's right, but it still doesn't fix anything. I haven't done this in a while.
Have you verified the md5 hash?
What is the file name extension of the Metroid Prime 2 file?

The prime 1 file is .iso, the echoes file is .rar
"All GC/Wii files (elf, dol, gcm, iso, wbfs, ciso, gcz, wad)"

Yeah, because .rar is totally in the list of supported filetypes that Dolphin gave you.

Don't put the game in a RAR file, then.
