1. Make sure you have all the equipment (MicroSD card, card reader, R4, DS)
2. Put MicroSD into reader
3. Plug reader into computer
4. Go to the R4DS website
5. Click 'Downloads'
6. Click the most recent firmware (1.08)
7. Go down to the bottom of the page, click 'Download'
8. Save it to your MicroSD card (get to it in 'My Computer')
9. Use a program like 7-Zip to extract the file on the MicroSD card
10. Once you have extracted the file, make sure there is a folder called '_system_', a file called '_DS_MENU.DAT', a file called '_DS_MENU.SYS' and a file called '_DS_MSHL.nds' on the memory card

To copy your games to the memory card:
1. Download the game, save it on your computer.
2. Find where you saved the game, then right-click it
3. Choose 'Copy'
4. Find your MicroSD card in 'My Computer'
5. Open your MicroSD card by double-clicking it
6. Right click in that window and choose 'Paste'
7. Repeat this for your other games
