.......From where did you download the game?
If it is from this forum, there are no Zip files, only RAR files. ;DRe-check it again.

No,
Just extract the file with .nds in it. ;D
E.g spongebob drawn to life.ndsOr you can just extract it all, you will not lose any. :)

Which are not working?
1) Extract all.
or..
2) Extract only the .nds file.If the problem is the second one,
just try extract them all.

I don't think the problem is in extracting. What games are they, and how are you trying to play them?

Right, so you're using an R4! You should always say that when asking for help. And you should have mentioned what the message was. Try arm7 patching. Search the forum for more info on how to arm7 patch.

You don't really need to understand it, you just need to follow the instructions. If you search, you're bound to find a guide.This took a 5 second google search:

When asking for help, try to actually tell people what your problem is, your first post was very ambiguous. Also, try and actually follow advice and answer the questions of the people trying to help you. I don't blame Fredbox for getting annoyed really...
