 |
|
| I downloaded some games for my NDS but none of the RAR file games are showing up when I turn on my NDS. Do I need to convert them? How do I do that? |

You need to unzip them using something like WinRAR.
Google it, its a free download. |

Didn't you read the previous replies to your other post about Unzipping NDS files? Do what the other guy who replied above me said. Get winrar. If you still cant figure it out after that you might just want to actually buy the games. |

Once again - and if you don't bloody follow this time go buy the goddamn games...
1) Get WinRAR
2) Open zipped files with WinRAR
3) Drag *.nds file to flash media
4) ???
5) Profit! |

| What OS are you using? Windows XP? I think Windows XP can open the file if you just double click it. then just drag the file inside that out, and use that file in your NDS. Or you can use Winzip to extract the file. |
I actually used your advice and it worked for most of the files I downloaded. There were just a couple that weren't working (the rar ones). I'll get winrar and stop taking up all of your time. Thanks for your help. |

| Good call - IMO WinRAR is the best of the file extraction utilities |

| a few games might not work depending on the software on your R4. They sometimes update it. It would be newer ones. I heard to play the Hulk there was an update from their site. |

7zip kills Winrar for handled archive types and speed. |
