Need Help!?

IVE BEEN GETTING GAMES FOR THE DREAMCAST FOR A WHILE BACK NOW. ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE BEEN DOWNLOADING THESE GAMES AND NOW I TRIED IT JUST YESTERDAY. WHAT I USED TO DO WAS USE WINRAR TO EXTRACT ALL THE FILES WHICH WERE WINRAR THEN BURN THE FILE WHICH WAS A CDI USING DISC JUGGLER OR NERO. NOW WHEN I DOWNLOAD THESE DREAMCAST GAMES THERE WOULD BE A FEW FILES THAT ARE .RAR, FEW OTHER FILES THAT ARE .PAR FILES AND ANOTHER ONE FILE WHICH IS .TMP . NOW I'M CONFUSED ON HOW TO EXTRACT THE GAME NOW BECAUSE WINRAR DOESNT DO IT ANYMORE. IT CANT READ THOSE .PAR FILES OR THAT TMP FILE. THE RESULT I WOULD GET WHEN I TRY TO EXTRACT THE .RAR FILES IS FAILURE. THE FILE IT SHOWS WHEN I TRY TO EXTRACT IT IS A .MDF FILE. I DUNNO BUT ITS NOT THE SAME BURNING THESE DREAMCAST GAMES. SO WHAT DO I DO? AND HOW DO I DO IT? IF SOMEONE WOULD HELP ME OUT!

firstly please dont type in capitals as it's very annoying to read!
ok now to your problem,the par files are parity files which are not for winrar but smartpar.
par files are really quite clever as they can make up missing portions of a split rar file but only if you have enough par files to cover the amount of rar files you are missing!
a nice tutorial and a download of smartpar can be found at http://www.slyck.com/smartpar.php
