Featuring a description this time (#37)

* Add detail about additional RAM disk slots

Also corrects usernames, some grammar/clarity changes, and adds note about the Windows requirement

* Bullet adjustments and clarify accessing DS Classic Menu on DSi

I changed the PictoChat and flashcard instructions to individual sentences, because in my opinion the single bullet for a step looked bad.

* Add some details to the app installation question

This does technically make it repeat itself a bit, but the invalid title section may only be viewed *after* they've hit the issue.
Also corrects capitalization per CONTRIBUTING.md

* Add details on other ways of connecting

Also removes the Windows hotspot link

* Link to online checksum calculator

* Punctuation and more accurate NWFCUSBC info

Also, the last commit added the AltWFC online player list, but I believe I forgot to mention that

* Add information to top

There are guides for creating a DS-compatible hotspot on macOS and Linux computers on GBAtemp. If you are using Windows 10, you can use a Linux Live Boot. There are guides for creating a DS-compatible hotspot on macOS and Linux computers on GBAtemp.
- [macOS](https://gbatemp.net/threads/571658) - [macOS](https://gbatemp.net/threads/571658)

- [Windows](https://gbatemp.net/questions/how-can-i-put-a-live-os-on-a-dual-boot-with-windows.5319)
An Android mobile hotspot set to Open (none) security would also work.
Windows cannot create a compatible hotspot, so Windows users will need to boot into Linux in order to set one up.
#### Other methods
If you cannot create a DS-compatible hotspot using the above methods, you may be able to use another method.
- [Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector](https://gbatemp.net/threads/575631/)
- While this can still be used, it is not recommended because it requires a 32-bit version of Windows XP or Vista
- For information on setting up a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, read Section 3 of this [Wiimmfi Guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f3PChwQig40UaiPXlh-Gi5CggGiBPzyrpiecLZlT8ZE/edit?usp=sharing) written by members of the [Mario Kart DS Network](https://discord.gg/pa9bea6)
- Changing router settings to be DS-compatible
- This is not recommended because it opens your network to intruders, even if you use WEP security. It may also cause issues for other users of your network. If you choose to do this, it is recommended that you use a secondary router or guest network, if available
- Not all routers support guest networks or turning security off
- Wi-Fi extenders
#### Settings
If you are setting up a network to be DS-compatible, it must meet the following specifications:
- WEP or Open (none) security
- 2.4 GHz wireless frequency
- 802.11b wireless mode
- This may be listed as "Legacy mode" or something similar

Some DS homebrew are incapable of properly accessing the SD card filesystem. Because of this, it may be necessary to load a standalone filesystem into the RAM containing the necessary files for your homebrew in order for it to work.
The software used here requires the Windows operating system.
