    Hi
    Hoping this is in the right section if it's not then please accept my appoligies

    Have started to use the NDS again after a longtime it's got a R4 in it

    i downloaded three games in winrar i unzip them and looked in the folder where they were unzipped to and they had a lock symbol on them

    loaded them onto a micro sd card but they wont open in the NDS all i get is "loading" it dosen't move onto the next screen

    Is it the lock that is stopping them from loading if so how do i get rid of it ???

    is the lock commimg with the download or is it something on my pc that is causing it ??

    all replies appreciated

    its a lock at the begining of the title of the rom it dosn't appear till its been unzipped and you look in the unzipped folder it also says "Disc span compilation " whatever that means

    If you see it in from your pc. Print screen, upload to free image share site, and post image here.
    If on console, take a photo of it.

    "Disc span compilation "

    That is NERO BURNING ROM file! But, you can change it by opening Desmume. Open CONFIG menu and select PATH SETTINGS. Select "ASSOCIATE NDS FILES" under ROMS box by tick it and press OK.

    Huh.
    Good ol' Nero screwing with associations. I hate programs that do that.
