    Don't decompress the iso files. Use ImgBurn to burn them on a dvd. Use DVD-R discs....

    I noticed when I opened the rar file that the iso was classified as a rar file also and when you try to open it, it says its corupted or no a valid file or something. But that is the iso file. it just has the same icon as the rar files. just burn that using imgburn

    The reason your iso shows the rar icon is because you have Winrar set to open iso's in it's options. You can change that if you want. As for "corrupt" files, that could be a bad download/upload. Try to redownload or get the iso from another site. Good luck.

    Trying to extract the iso will cause errors because the Wii disc format is not the same as DVD compliant disc and winrar freaks out. If you try extracting an iso file for a windows program you will not get the error.
