    Have you successfully extracted it so you have the .nds file?

    Has a game ever worked for you before on the R4?

    That probably explains your problem. You need winrar, winrar is an extracting program that extracts rar files. Just google "winrar" you should find it straight away.

    Just install winrar, extract the downloaded file and then chuck the .nds game into your sd card.

    R4 is a card for the nintendo DS that lets you play games that you download to it.
