NOTE: YouTube has a very good video explaining how to do the following. It is recomended over the instructions explained here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ePwfuWoULQ

  1. Download FlashMe from the official website. There are two versions. One removes the health warning screen for a faster startup time, the other leaves the screen as normal. Choose whichever version you prefer.
  2. Move the FlashMe installation file to your flash cart. See Flashcart Hombrew Transfer Guide for notes specific to your flashcart/media adaptor
  3. Insert your flash cart in the GBA slot and a PassMe with a retail game plugged into it in the DS card slot and start up your DS.
  4. Run the FlashMe install file It will ask you to press a series of buttons to continue. Press them now.
  5. In order to modify the write-protected part of the firmware, you must open the battery cover while leaving the battery still inside.
  6. In the upper-left hole, you should see two metal semicircles. You need connect these together to complete the installation. Insert a metal object in this hole. Image:SL1.jpg
  7. Look at the bottom screen of your DS to view the progress of the installation with the metal object still in the hole.
  8. When the installation is complete, turn off your DS, remove your PassMe, then power your DS on again. FlashMe is now successfully installed!
