I downloaded both Harvest Moon: Back to Nature and Threads of Fate. The downloads completed succesfully, but my emulator (epsxe) wouldn't read them. I was told to rename the files from .exe to .iso so I did and the emulator reads them, but only shows a black screen. Any ideas?
rename them back to .exe then double click them. The image files are compressed inside the exe files and will be extracted when you double click them. Once extracted, compare the size of the image files to the exe files to gain an understanding of why we use that compression program.
