    Hey,


    I'm having this problem unraring the DS roms that I download from this website. I have a mac and I usually use Stuffit to unzip or unrar files. However, when I open the .rar file and unrar it, it saids it can't due to some compressing or encoding of the file. I've tried downloading a few programs to unrar stuff but it is going no where. What should I do next?

    Well, first try re-downloading the file. Sometimes connections to servers can get interrupted for varying reasons. If it still does not work, try using stuffit to create a .rar archive out of a file on you're computer, then try extracting that file. If all fail, try a different program.

    Ok... Thanks, and see if I can do that. I just tried to create the rar file then open it, but sadly it fails.

    I'd recommend Zipeg, if all else fails. These files extracted from it when I used his laptop to get Megaman Star Force.

    Is it compatible with mac?

    Yeah, it's specifically for mac. His laptop runs Mac OS X

    Try this:

    Download the 7z encoder. I know that 7-zip that is on windows extracts .rars, but not sure on this one. If this encoder does not work, use a windows emulator and run 7-zip (7-zip.org). I love 7-zip and has been useful beyond belief.
