Read the Quickstart guide first, it answers one thing you're blatantly doing wrong.

Quickstart explains where do you need to place your game files. Read it with attention.

Generally you don't need a package if you got a disc copy of the game. You use whatever copy you have.

Demon's Souls PSN copies don't work, only disc.

I get the same when I try to run Cars 3.

E LDR: Invalid or unsupported file format: C:/Emulators/Rpcs3/dev_hdd0/disc/BLUS31608/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
S LDR: Boot from gamelist per doubleclick: done

I guess it's because the emulator doesn't work with this game yet. It's not listed in the compatibility page. Either that or I'm doing something wrong configuration wise.

Did you follow the steps to decrypting the disc or did you just copy paste files from it? Copying raw stuff from disc won't work as it needs to be decrypted.
The unsupported error appears when your EBOOT is corrupted or encrypted.

You still haven't read Quickstart.
In Managing games and software:
Both Blu-ray and PlayStation Network games must be placed in a single folder with their respective files and the folder name must correspond to the game's ID.

I read through the quick start
I have the same message
---------------------------------
E LDR: Invalid or unsupported file format: C:/Users/Mitch/Desktop/gamereenos/DeS/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
S LDR: Boot Game: boot done.
---------------------------------

what i am gathering is I did something wrong in the iso decryption process
first I will ask
will renaming the iso have messed up the decryption process? (I was renaming for my own OCD organizational convenience)
second
Which file should do step 9 on?
FILE_NAME.dec.iso
or
FILE_NAME.iso

EDIT: I am also noticing a problem with trying to Game Boot the Game disc in the optical drive as well (Demon's Souls)
