    Is the file a .nds file? Have you formatted your card?

    What is the extension of the file you're copying? .doc, .nds, .rar, or what?

    That's not what I'm asking.
    What is the file extension?
    Word documents are .doc
    Pictures are .jpg, .png, etc.
    And this also has something.

    Look at this file in the folder and mess around with views until you see something like:
    filename.xxx

    Newer Windows OS by default hide known file types. Kaza likely cannot see them.

    when u first download a game from here it will most probably be a .rar file to make it to a .nds u need the program called WINrar(sorry cant offer link) to extract it once u have done that you'll have a folder with the .nds file and maybe a read me just put it on your micro SD with the software from devveloper and your good to go
