 You have to EXCTRACT the .rar file first. I&#39;ll explain: .rar and .zip (among others) are files in compressed format, so they will be smaller and easier to store and download. You need a special program to open and exctract them. Do a google search for WinRAR or Winzip to get a shareware version of these programs. This is (relativley) VERY basic computer knowledge. If the file inside the archive is an .ips patch, I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll bother explaining that too.
