Maybe a noob question

I have a small problem that I need claification...Once I download 1 or several games for DS and I unrar it to it's own folder would I be able to put the .NDS file in another DS unit after a few days has past. I'm asking this because my oldest was not at home for a few days and I downloaded a few games for my youngest and kept the file there for when my oldest came back so they would have the same games on their DS..Now I tried to copy & paste the game and it is saying that the file or repertoir is damaged and unreadable....thxs in advance

If the files are damaged and unreadable, then they are corrupt.You need to re-download them.

But they are working fine on the fisrt DS that I installed them...very strange
OK I'll try that in another folder..thxs

No problem.They are working fine on the DS because the files aren't corrupted, while somehow the files on your computer are corrupted.Very peculiar.

Next time you better keep a back up in your computer (and be sure they aren't corrupted :P )

Thank you all for your help...I redownloaded the files and all is well..You can bet I will be looking into this problem further in detail...Again thxs for you quick repliesregards

For the record. This sounds like your hard drive became faulty, that's actually a pretty serious indicator that things might soon go bad. You should run check disk to make sure your hard drive is not about to go bad.

also try HDDLife, thats fairly good at indicating if something is about to go. Make sure all your backups are up to date; this might be the only warning sign you get.
