      Extracting Files

      Ok, so I've got these files, and the extensions are all like .015 or .063 or whatever. Problem is, is that neither UltimateZip, Winrar, or 7Zip seem to be able to do anything with them. They all just say they don't recognize the file, or give me some diagnostic error and don't do anything. Any other programs I can use to extract the stuff out of these files?

      open up the first one in a hex editor
      most file formats identify themselves at the start of the file
      (\_ _/)
      (='.'=)
      (")_(")

      Ok, I did that and it just showed me a lot of squares, circles and numbers. What does that mean?

      No, but they were listed as rar files from the instructions that came with them, and the instructions just said to unrar them first.

      Maybe the extensions got changed/messed up in the download? Try manually changing the extension to .rar and then extracting them with 7Zip.
