    Once you have all the games you want downloaded on your profile how do you get them into your SD card? I'm all new to this and would like a little help please x THANKYOU :-\

    You need an SD card reader.

    Then you connect the card reader to your PC, and insert the card into your reader. Your computer should recognize the card and treat it like another disk, and assign it a letter (Like F: for example). Then you just drag the files you want onto the card and they will be copied over. Then go to the System tray in your Task bar and click on the "Safetly Remove Hardware" icon. This will turn off the card so you can safetly unplug it from your system without the chance of losing data.



    This is assuming you use Windows XP of course, earlier Windows operating systems may need some manual driver installations

    Have you extracted the rar files?

    Also, since you formated your SD Card make sure you've reloaded the correct and latest firmware for your brand of flash cart

    Yes, you have to extract the 1.18 rar. Then go into the english folder and put it straight onto your MicroSD. No, you do not need anything else for it to work obviously.
