A step-by-step CFW guide (especially for those who do not own a Gateway)
Installing DevMenu/BigBlueMenu from the computer:
To install CIA files using the windows tools, you need to hold down the 'L' button while you select 'Nintendo DS Profile'.
Now you're gonna use the other files in the CFW archive.
You have to edit the file 'run.bat'. It comes like this:
Code:
installcia IPTOMODIFY 1 DevMenu_2x.cia
...
If it installed fine, press the power button and then press HOME to reload the home menu.
You'll see a new gift there.
Once you have DevMenu/BigBlueMenu installed, you can start the CFW in regular mode (don't hold L) and install CIAs from the SD card using it.
