HOW TO EXTRACT PPSSPP GAME FILE ON ZARCHIVER
OK, now the main purpose of the post. Using an outline, I have written down the steps you need to take in extracting a PPSSPP game file using Zarchiver. See them below;
Step 1: Download the PPSSPP video game of your choice: I decided to make this step one because it is very important you get a game file to extract. Though some platforms offer PPSSPP games already extracted, it's widely not done.
Step 2: Launch the Zarchiver app on your phone (which you have downloaded and installed already) and locate the folder where the PPSSPP game file is.
Step 3: Extracting process: now after finding the PPSSPP file, you will make use of the following steps; PPSSPP video game files usually come in zip formats. In order to make it playable, it needs to be extracted to ISO or CSO file extension format.
– Simply tap on the file, tap on either ‘Extract Here’ or ‘Extract’. If you go for Extract Here, it will extract on the same folder in which it is, and if you choose Extract, you will have to select a folder in which you want it to extract to.
– Now, regardless of the Extracting options you choose, it will immediately start the extracting process and when done, the file will no longer be in Zip format, but in ISO or CSO format and will be ready to play. Simply head to your PPSSPP emulator app and start playing your PPSSPP video game on your Android device.
