Hi all,

I need help on the mentioned error. When I try to add the roms, the supercard program will prompt me with this 'unhandled archive type' error. What is the solution to this?

Many thanks.

are your roms in a zip file? did you try extracting them?

The file can't be extracted. Any other solution? Thanks alot.

sounds like the files/archives are corrupt then, and that is why the supercard program is complaining, try redownloading from somewhere else

Sounds to me like you have RAR files instead of ZIP files.  You'll get the same error message.

Unrar the files first, and bring in the uncompressed .nds file instead.

im getting the same problem but none of the solutions here help..
how do you "unrar" the files?
when i go to unzip the file says its not a valid archive type.
thanks

What zipping program are you using? If it's just the Microsoft one you need to either download WinRAR (which you keep for 30 days then it keeps bugging you to buy it) or 7-zip (which is free but not as shiny).

7-zip
WinRAR
 like cream soda...

im using winzip
it says...
the winzip wizard cannot open this file; it does not apera to be a valid archive. if you downlaoded this file, try downloading it again.
ive tried using winrar but it comes up with the same type of thing blabling on about archives and what not
and its only happeneing with finalfantasy III :(
