    Ok, I'll treat this like talking to my little borther...


    1.WHen trying to open via winrar of the file you got, does it say that it can't open it?

    2.CLicking on the server link but can't find it?

    3.You downloaded it but you are attempting to open it with winzip than winrar-use winrar in this case

    4.You don't know how to even run the game you got, in this case list what game and what game system it was originally inteaded for (ie pokemon red version-a game boy game)

    Winrar is what opens the file...do you even have it installed?


    Never had my laptop tell me this before....

    Ok, yeah, just download winrar from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install it. Then use Winrar to extract the file from inside the .zip or .rar file.

    winrar is a program to open compressed files that the emulator may not read it, due it's on .rar format, so you need winrar to open it and extract the file into a folder that you want.

    Click Downloads at the left of the page, and then click the top link. Download that file and install it. Then just double click on the game you have downloaded.

    You don't download them with WinRAR, and you should not choose the "open" option. Always choose "Save". Save it to a folder on your computer, then once the download is done, Open the downloaded file.

    If you have extracted the game .nds file, then run your no$gba emulator filed the folder where you placed your game, then bubble click on your game and the emulator should then run it
