7z extracting

I need help, im trying to play Final Fantasy VIII(8)

But when I download the File parts, it coems as 001 and 002 files. I have absolutley no idea what those are, or how to get the file parts from them. This is really annoying me cause I'm almost done with Final Fantasy IX(9), Final Fantasy VII(7) is beginning to bore me, and Final Fantasy Tactics is just pissing me off.

Can anyone help?

You should still be able to just extract them I believe, or at least I was able to

Just right click them and choose extract here or something like that, can't remember

If that still doesn't work then I don't know, just google search .7z and you should be able to find out something

Are you saying you get a .rar file out of the .7z file?

It is likely milky35 is simply seeing a winrar icon and thus presuming a rar file. It is quite likely a 7zip file or a split 7zip file.

I do not recommend using winrar. Instead, use 7zip at 7-Zip .

Reasons to use 7zip:
1. It is free and open source
2. It can unpack all of these types of archives: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS


If the file is split, such as .001, .002, .003, ... Then you may choose to FIRST combine the file into its original form and THEN extract its contents using 7zip program. You can combine the file into its original form using a free program called hjsplit: File Splitters, freeware and multi-platform: HJSplit

To review:
1. Combine the parts of the file into its original form using HJsplit.
This will combine example.7z.001 + example.7z.002 + example.7z.003 +... into a single file example.7z
2. Extract the single combined file example.7z using 7zip.
