I just got my DS and apparently you can download games for it. So I downloaded some games but I have no clue how to get them onto my Unit. Sorry this is probably dumb but I just can't figure it out. Thanks to anyone who may be able to help.

Download a rar unzipping program - use google to locate one. Install on your computer and then use the following to unzip the games.

When you download the game file save it to a location on your hard drive, scan for threats using your virus scanner (This is to be prudent). Highlight all (if more than one) of the zipped files (only unzip one game at a time) right click on one of the files and use Extract Here, (scan again for threats) if they are double zipped (common with games) then open the unzipped folder and repeat the above action with the zipped files and you should have several files one of which says .nds at the end (this is the Rom). This is the only part you need, save it to another location and rename it with the full game name (make sure you do not delete the .nds at the end of the file name). You can delete all the remaining files. Put this .nds file on the M3 - if you don't know how to do this read the guide on the forum.
