Corruption problems with the DS Roms?

Hello, i'v been having troubles with the Roms i download from this site.The ones i'v been having troubles with are the NDS roms..only NDS since i dont know how to put on any other kind of rom onto my DS (eg. GBA's ect.)

Here is the process i went through:

1. I download a certain game i want...lets say; Transformers?

2. i save it with WinAce. [I tried WinRar, but the same thing occurred]

3. It finishes downloading then i go to the file (were i saved it) then open it in WinAce.

4. Then i extract the file/s to what ever file i want. --- by the way, usually there is only one file, Is that normal?

5. While its trying to extract the file, a window comes up saying "Error; (ect) then - this file is Corrupted. --Note; this system only worked for a couple of roms from this site - But, i did the previous process then copied and pasted it to my chip - were all the other games are. It didnt work. There was only an info file in its place. No proper game file thing.

Have i done something wrong or missed something out? - because, i havnt done this before, someone else put on some games for me but they are now quite far away so i have to try and do it myself with the little info i have on computers! ???[though, im not completely useless when it comes to electronics..Just this sorta stuff annoys the crud outah me, hehe]

So, would anyone be kind enough to tell me what i have to do or what i havnt done, so i can get it to work. [My chip is 'M3dsReal', if that helps you anymore..]

Any sort of help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks :]

 

Your download has corrupted during transfer.


Simple answer-get a download manager to prevent that-most downloads have 2 files-an NFO (not needed) and the .nds file.

 

ohh, right! thanks :]

Do you know were about i can get this download manager?
Or should i just google 'Download manager for..' uhm, i dont actually know what to google if i had to find it myself ;(

 

I recommend either Flashget or DownThemAll, which is a Firefox add-on.

 

i think get firefox or safire would be a good thing to do.

o and safire will work on a pc it not only for macs

 

Hmm..i have the same problem. I'll try downloading the download helper (downThemAll) and if it works..i'll post again. If it doesnt, i have nooo idea what i should do next. Im sure PotatoChupBro won't either...lol

 

Try the latest OrbitDownloader.
You can get it here...www.softpedia.com

 

Cool! Thank's very much, guys.
It works now XD

 

I thought Firefox came with a download manager built into it

 

Not really, no.

 

It's a... kind of manager. Kind of.

But it doesn't have all the features and compatibility of a real download manager. It rarely resumes halted downloads correctly, and on connection interruption, it assumes the file is complete and finishes it. (And that is where corrupted downloads happen).
