When you unzip the Dreamcast zip file it unpacks all the parts of the original 7zip file. In order to use this, please download 7zip and use it to unpack all of the .001, .002 etc files. You will then be able to extract the correct file for use with the emulator.

I hope this helps.

all of the numbered files that you have (.001 all the way to .033) need to be in the same folder, then highlight them all and extract them all at once. Then you will have your CDI or ISO file to run. :3
