Default Help!!! I'm stuck on NDS-Roms

Can someone help me please!!!! I've downloaded a NDS-Rom to my pc to be played on a NDS. It's in a zip file. I've double clicked the zip to try to extract it but it just says that it is an invalid file. Am I supposed to play it from the zip file on the Memory Card or am I supposed to be able to extract it on the pc before copying it to the Memory Card?????

Extract the game from the zip and you should have a ?????/.nds file. You can either play that direct from you nds rom card or it may have to be software modded to play ?? It all depends on which card you use, personally I stick with the R4 and usually everything plays every time

Thank you. From what you say, I assume the downloads I have are all corrupt then! I can't extract the zip file - it just says it is invalid!! Any idea of a good download site???

The normal ones have Nintendo Roms:

thePiratebay.org

Mininova : The ultimate BitTorrent source!

One of the better ones is http://www.blackcats-games.net/ but you need to have subscribed.
