How do i use Nintendo ds roms? (read description)?
Whenever i download a rom it comes out as .rar? and Whenever i try to play the .rar with my emulater No$GBA or whatever, it says "the rom crashed??" SOMEONE HELP ME??
Winrar is a very good program to unzip files and to decompress a bunch of other formats. You can use also 7zip or winzip for the same purpose but I believe that winrar is the best option. All these programs are very similar (you can compress/decompress files with a simple right click).
The great things is that winrar is free (you can download the trial version that never expires) and it can open all compressed formats: .zip, .rar, .7z / 7zip, .iso, .tar, .jar etc. (much more than the other programs).

You will need to download winrar. Go to www.download.com and search there. It will be free.
Once downloaded and installed, right click on the ds file (will look like a stack of books) and select extract to here.
You will be left with 3-5 files. One of them will end in .nds
That is the only file you need and is the ds game. load that file with your emulator.
Send me a mail if you have any difficulties.

That's why I strongly recommend Winrar
i havn't used a ds rom before but you probably need to extract the .rar file, for that id recomend 7zip (www.7-zip.org)
extract it with winrar
