added "How to improve the connection of the contacts" under the tips & tricks section
Feel free to make a better picture if you can, my paint skills only help so much
now to continue on my set up section
Edit: finished with the meat of the set up section, removed the "How to easily set up your microsd card from scratch" spoiler under tips & tricks
and now it's completely finished, i think the whole beginner's guide as a whole is lookin' pretty fly right now *waits for sticky*

This is an amazing guide. I've been looking to get a flashcard for my 3DS (I've been using an R4 for my Lite for four years) and I'm leaning towards this since CannonFoddr showed that the battery drain difference vs. the Acekard is negligible on the 3DS.
There's something that's a bit confusing though. You talked about "renaming DS_GAME"-- does that mean I can change the DS game the flashcart pretends to be in the 3DS Home Menu, and I can theoretically do it whenever I connect the Supercard's microSD card to the PC?
Sorry if this seems inane. The fact that it's nearly 5AM over here and I haven't gotten any sleep could have something to do with it. Thanks again!

DS_GAME is not the fake game.
in the plugin menu you can boot to the EOS, the system that launches ROMs.
by default its text is DS_GAME, but as described, you can change it.
the fake game can only be changed in firmware updates, and those are only made by the supercard team. they are needed to bypass nintendo's firmware updates for handhelds

added the how to use free cheat guide by elixirdream to the links section
added the question "What is Free Cheat and how do I use it?" under Firmware Questions
Edit: added step 7 about getting ROMs and putting them on the DSTwo
added Rydian's SNES Cheats Pack under links
added the question "How do I use cheats with these emulators?" under the SNES/GBA Emulation spoiler

a few minor edits
reworded the answer to the NDSGBA compatibility question under the SNES/GBA emulation spoiler (made it clearer)

i prefer winrar simply because 7zip can't make .rar archives, however i've added it

because its easier this way. I didn't even know till today that you could look at videos with moonshell, until you told me. I had only used moonshell just to play nes games.
A lot of the words in those long instructions are and were foreign to me.
I need to understand this in basic english, so if i screw up, i get a follow up. I have screwed up with every installation until i got it right. When you know your thing, it takes a minute to do one thing, for me, its been half a day just to figure out one thing right, thats how long it took me to put the skin on the ds for example.

So basically, if I want to have Dstwo on my 1.4.1E Dsi, all I have to do is download the latest Eos and patch onto my Micro SD card?
I don't have to use a Ds or a Ds lite?
Sorry just making sure because I got a r4 a while ago and when I updated my Dsi it stopped working
.
Anyway great guide and really user friendly.
Thanks for your help
