Step 3: Download RAR archived App

If after downloading the game you notice that it is not compatible with PPSSPP due to the kind of file it is, then you should download an app that can convert it to another file format. This means that If your file is not in the .iso or .ico format and you find it in another format like .rar, .7z, ZIP, then you should change it to the required playable format.
