Make Sure You Have the Day of the Tentacle Disk
It's obvious, but it's true. You can pick one up at eBay, for something like £20.
Buy an R4DS Cartridge.
This cartridge is specifically designed for the nintendo DS. It has a small slot for inserting a MicroSD chip, but we'll get to that in a minute.
When you buy it, you will now have the Cartridge, a blue case for it, and a USB drive with a MicroSD slot.
Correct? Let's move on then.
