    You should unzip everything and copy it to the root file of your sd card

    download winrar from www.rarlabs.com and install it. All our roms are in rar files as well.

    Yes everything inside the english folder. Drag all those files onto the root of your MicroSD.

    You can't extract a folder lol , you mean you dragged all those files inside the english onto the root folder? And you're supposed to extract the Mario Kart archive not change it to .nds. If you can't do it, here is a tutorial.

    Good to see your problem is finally fixed but you're still using internet shorthand. Use thanks instead of thx or thnx.
