===Filetypes===
'''Help, I've downloaded a file and I don't know what it is? What's the difference between these files?'''
Check out the [[List of filetypes]] for information on what's what, and where to use it.
===ECM format===
'''I downloaded a PS1 game from emuparadise. It's in .ecm format and won't open in an emulator. Why?'''
ECM is a compressed format. You need to decompress using PakkISO or ECM Tools (both provided on the emuparadise download page). It'll output as a .bin usually, which is what the [[.cue]] uses to load the game. Note that recent SVN builds of [[PCSX-R]] DO allow loading of ECM files, however it's recommended to unpack them anyway.
Moving to filetypes section
There are emulators for the PS3 (rpcs3) and Xbox 360 (Xenia), however, they are not functional for regular use.
As for the other systems, no.
===Specs===
As emulators develop, they generally become more [[Emulation_Accuracy|accurate]], emulating more of the system's functions. This results in greater compatibility, and fewer glitches but at the expense of speed. More CPU power is needed. It may make sense to use an older version that works well for a specific game if your system is not able to handle the modern version. But newer versions may also be optimized or perform more efficiently as well.

===Archives===
It's a split archive, usually RAR. Make sure you have [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] installed. Do not use WinRAR. Extract all those files somewhere. Then, right click on the first in the sequence (e.g. r00/part1/etc) and, depending on the program used, should have an "Extract Here" command. Use it; it'll output the files you're looking for. You can then proceed to delete all those r0x/partx/etc files if you want.
