    first make a folder to save confusion called ds roms or ssomething when you have downloaded the game you will then have the winrar file in a folder ie ds roms or whatever you called it,you double left click the winrar file and it will open the file up it will have a few files in there look for the one called ndsfile then right click that one and go to (extract file to)then scroll down to removable disc f or g or h all depending what your card reader and micro sd is named as in your usb port then click OK at the bottom of the box and it will send it unzipped to your micro sd and will be ready to play obviously you will need the firmware on there thats suitable for the card to run the rom/s too.roms from here are best as other rom suppliers have multi rar files in them and links and lots of other rubbish.romulation is the dogs danglys i think.

    No, an emulator is something for playing roms on your PC. But you will need firmware for your card. Firmware is the menu that displays on your DS when you load the R4. You use the firmware to select which rom you want to play. To get the firmware, go to www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds but you have to make sure you get the right one. To do that, look at the name on the box and find the one on that website with EXACTLY the same name. You simply download it and extract it with Winrar, like the roms. There should be a folder in it called English. Go into that and copy everything in it onto your microSD. That's your firmware sorted.

    And iwantndsroms, ever heard of punctuation? ;D

    And mess up quoting as well? Smooth...
    And the reason I'm saying this is because it's really hard to read when you do a sentence the length of a paragraph.
