4. How to install ?

    - To run homebrews on your Nintendo DS, you need to buy a special DS cartridge (linker) to plug into your Nintendo DS game port. This cartridge is like a game cartridge except you insert a Flash card into it.
    - First, connect the Flash card to your computer (using a Flash card reader) 
    - Patch the .nds file with dldi if needed (http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/)
    - Copy the homebrew file (the .nds file) from the computer to the flash card. 
    - Copy the .dsk (or .sna) file in the root (or in the /ROMS/CPC directory) of your flash card).
    - Then, get the Flash card and insert it into the special cartridge (linker). 
    - Finally, plug this cartridge into your DS. That's all. 
    - Switch on your DS and you will see a menu with the name of the homebrew file you've just transfered. Select it to run.     
    
5. How to use ?
    
	- Direction PAD & A/B: Joystick, keypad or keyboard emulation. 
	- SELECT to display the setup menu.
	- To load a ROM, just press 'Select' to display the menu. Select the game and play.
