Problem with games using N5 Card

Some few days ago I finally got my N5 Card to play NDS roms. It didn't come with a CD or instruction booklet, but the seller sent me an e-mail with Version 1.20 Kernel. Every game I downloades worked nicely, except for a few exceptions that worked too low or simply cut off while playing. Some days later a game is rarely loaded correctly. I tried formatting my 2GB Sd card many times, and installing different versions of the Kernel and at first, almost every game worked nicely, but then the game stops when I enter some game menu or, for example, in the Pokémon Platinum game, when I enter a house or something, it stucks in a white or black screen, or simply, while pressing Start upon every opening screen on games, the game is also stucked. This happens with almost every game now.
Your help will be really appreciated.

I want to find a step by step guide to putting games on Micro cards and playing on ds

1. Download the system file in .zip format from the manufacturers web site (or find the CD that came with the card)
1a. Click on the .zip file to open up the contents.
2. Plug in the memory card to the USB port on the computer using the adaptor provided.
3. Copy the contents of the newly opened window (or the files from the CD) on to the memory card.
4. Search the internet and find the games you want (they will be .zip files too so double click on them once they're on your computer and you'll see what's in them). If you don't know where to find them just search Google for "NDS ROMS"
5. Copy the files that end .nds to the memory card attached to the USB port.
6. Unplug the memory card from the PC.
7. Plug the memory card back into the game adaptor.
8. Plug the game adaptor into the NDS.
9. Switch on the NDS and enjoy.

Sounds like you need a more upto date firmware or the games you have are not correct.
they should be *.nds files.

Using N5 Card

Torrent format files are only links to the file real location just to use them in a torrent client to download the real files.

A ROM file size fluctuates from 4 to 128MB and can be found compressed in rar or zip format so you need a software to take out the ROM file usually with the file extension ".NDS ".
