{:.alert .alert-info}
### Installing
1. Download the latest [`TWiLightMenu-DSi.7z`](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest/download/TWiLightMenu-DSi.7z)
- If it does not download, see the [release page](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest)

### Accessing flashcard contents
A flashcard is something that goes in the game card slot, and contains a microSD card slot. If you do not have a flashcard, you are done with this guide.
