    What You Need
    * PCI or PCMCIA wireless network card with the RT2500 or RT2560 chipset (complete list here)
    NOTE: USB version (RT2570) will not work
    * Tim's modified driver (1.0.0.8) and application (1.4 Beta 1). Check for latest versions here.
    * A computer with Windows 2000 or Windows XP



    Install / Update Your NIC Driver
    For this tutorial I went out and bought a LinkSys WMP54G v4 PCI wireless network card for about $50. I extracted the driver to C:\Drivers\WiFiMe\rt2560_driver_1_0_0_8 but it doesn't really matter where you put it - just don't forget where it is!



    How to install a LinkSys WMP54G v4 PCI wireless network card in Windows XP SP2
    NOTE: You're install may look a little different if you have SP1. Of course, it'll be even more different if you have Windows 2000, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

    If you have a PCI card, turn off your computer and find an open slot for it. If you have a laptop, just insert the card.

    Method #1 - Automatic Driver Installation

    At this point, the Found New Hardware Wizard should pop up.
    Choose No, not at this time and click Next.

    Choose Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.

    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Auto_Install_02.png
    Make sure Search for the best driver in these locations is selected
    Click Include this location in the search and browse to the extracted driver
    Click Next

    If it detects your card properly, you'll see the following (as it installs the driver)

    That's it! Click Finish

    If you want to make sure it installed the hardware properly, go here.

    Otherwise, if it did not detect your card properly, go on to the manual install instructions.


    Method #2 - Manual Driver Installation

    At this point, the Found New Hardware Wizard should pop up.
    Choose No, not at this time and click Next.

    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_01.png[/img
    Choose Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.

    Choose Don't search. I will choose the driver to install and click Next.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_03.png

    Choose Show All Devices and click Next.

    /www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_04.png
    Click Have Disk and click Next.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_05.png

    Type or browse to the location of the driver (make sure to choose win2k or winxp depending on your operating system) and click OK.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_06.png

    You should see Ralink RT2560 Device. Click Next.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_07.png

    When warned, click Yes.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_08.png

    Click Finish.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_09.png

    If you look in the Device Manager, you should now see a Nintendo DS - 802.11 category and the Ralink RT2560 Device.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/Install_10.png



    Launch The Application
    Extract the rt2560_app_wmb_1_4_beta_1.zip file you downloaded double-click wmb.exe. At this point your DS should be off.

    You should see this:
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_01.png


    Turn on your DS. Accept the Health and Safety warning.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_02.png

    Tap DS Download Play.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_03.png

    Your DS should display Looking for software available to download...

    Now you should see Wireless Multiboot "PassMe". Press the A button or tap (A) Select.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_04.png

    You'll be prompted Would you like to download this software? Press the A button or tap (A) Select.
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_05.png

    If you watch the application, you should see it transferring the file:
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_06.png

    On you're DS you should see:
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_05b.png

    Once it's uploaded (5-15 seconds), on your computer you'll see:
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/App_07.png

    And on you're DS you should see the following. Maybe even draw yourself a picture:
    //www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/dsPaint_01.png//www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/dsPaint_02.png//www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/dsPaint_03.png


    That's it! With any luck you should see whatever demo you loaded. If it doesn't work, try flashing the cart again or using a different demo.

    do not post 'guides' as though they were your own, at least give credit to the people who work to create these guides, you have also copied wraggster's Supercard review without giving credit (though still leaving "Hi im wraggster the webmaster of DCEmu" in it ¬_¬ )
