If you have not completed STEP 1 then please go and do that first:

HOW TO: Setting up your DS Card - STEP 1: Installing WinRAR

STEP2: Formatting your Micro SD

It is quite important that your micro sd card that you intend to use in your DS card is formatted properly. If you are using a brand new card then you can skip this step but if you have had problems with the card then just to rule out formatting issues follow these steps.

This is also a useful step if you have a working DS card but the files take ages to load.

1) Visit official SD Formatter from the SD Association website: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula



2) Accept the licence agreement at the bottom of the page

3) Save the file to your Desktop

4) Double click the file and install using all the default options

5) Close the read me file after install is finished

6) Put your Micro SD card into a card reader and into your PC

7) Close all popups that may appear after you insert your card into your PC

8) Load the Formatter tool



9) Choose the program from your program files



9) Choose OPTION



9) Set the Format Size Adjustment to ON

10) Back at the main screen choose FORMAT



11) Choose OK



12) Your card is now formatted resized back to SD standard :-)

Your card is now initialised and a great place to start before you download the software and start loading files onto it!

NOW GO TO: STEP 3: Downloading the RIGHT Software

Many Thanks
