    What exactly happens? Do you extract them from their archive? If it says there's an error in extracting, that means it didn't finish downloading or it got corrupt during download.

    If you use a wireless network then try using a wired connection instead. Corrupted downloads are often due to dropped packages and wireless networks are sometimes quite bad at that.

    How do you know the download is corrupt? What happens when you try to open it on your flashcart device? As anandjones said, did you extract the ROM from the archive? One in two questions about ROMs are solved by installing WinRAR. ;D

    Downloading again and again most likely wouldn't help as it's probably just using a cached version. Try using a different browser such as Firefox if you're using IE and Opera if you're using Firefox. I believe the last one who had this issue switched from IE to Firefox and it all worked out.

    This is so true, I downloaded Ninja Gaiden (U)(Xenophobia), I downloaded it for like an hour and after that I opened it using WinRAR and extracted the .nds file to my folder "NDS Games" and at the middle of the file transfer, it says that the file is corrupt, I think that the file has the problem, I use Mozilla Firefox, I have a wired connection and almost all of the 112mb games are corrupt. Please, I hope you resolve this problem because this is the only site that provides all of the Nintendo DS games. :) Thank you.

    if the file extracted successfully the archive isn't corrupt.

    Yes that's what he meant. Or if the file isn't extracted at ALL.

    It's corrupt yes, but not on our server, meaning the problem occurs during the download which is sadly out of our hands. We really do want to help here but there's not much we can do about it. =/
