Various changes (nds-bootstrap 0.39.0 and minor corrections mostly) (#13)
* Change GameBrew link

Now uses the All homebrew tab instead of the Applications tab

* Use #Games

This will auto-jump to the Games section, while still listing all of the other applications.

* Minor changes + DNS removal

-Added links to websites (https://wiimmfi.de, https://save-nintendo-wifi.com/)
-Removed second AltWFC DNS (52200 upon connection)
-Added second Wiimmfi DNS
-Removed BenFi DNS and Twilit WFC DNS (20110 upon connection, unlikely many people use/used these anyways)
-Added mention of Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
-Minor grammar corrections

* Other adjustments

Mostly relating to grammar

* nds-bootstrap 0.39.0 update

Things to consider *not* changing or making further edits:
- nds-bootstrap troubleshooting edits (would this be considered good enough/better than what it was before?)
- Removing Donor ROM/E-type cheat section (do these still apply?)
- Adding in-game menu or launching DSiWare to nds-bootstrap vs flashcard section (didn't think these were complete enough for them to be worth adding)

* Corrected /

* Add suggestion of trying different run settings

* Add DSi Mode in-game menu explanation

Also changed TWLMenu++ to TWiLight Menu++ and added spaces to slashes

* Remove reference to running DSi-Enhanced games in DS mode

Also added `-` for Universal-Updater

* Fix capitalization of Unlaunch

* Fix flashcard/flashcart

Flashcard = Slot-1, flashcart = Slot-2, according to contributing page

* Update pages/_en-US/nds-bootstrap/faq.md

description: Information on the GBA BIOS and how to dump it
---
In order for GBARunner2 to load titles, a dump of the GBA BIOS is required. Newer builds of GBARunner2 (which come with the latest release of TWiLight Menu++) have [Normatt's Open Source BIOS](https://github.com/Normmatt/gba_bios) built-in. However, because it is not an exact copy, using a dump of the official BIOS increases compatibility. You can dump an official GBA BIOS with one of the following methods.
### Dumping Guides
- [Wii (not family edition) / GameCube + link cable dumper](https://github.com/FIX94/gba-link-cable-dumper)
- [3DS using most Virtual Console titles](https://glazedbelmont.github.io/gbabiosdump/#virtual-console-title-from-a-3ds) (Can't be GBA or non-Nintendo (Game Gear) Virtual Console Titles)
- [GBA or DS Phat / Lite with a GBA flashcart](https://glazedbelmont.github.io/gbabiosdump/#gameboy-advance-sp-micro-ds-ds-lite)
After dumping the BIOS, it must be renamed to `bios.bin` and then should be placed in `sd:/`, `sd:/gba/`, or `sd:/_gba/` for GBARunner2 to read it.
You can verify that your BIOS is a proper dump by comparing it with the following checksums:
**CRC32:** `81977335`
**MD5:** `a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6`
**SHA1:** `300c20df6731a33952ded8c436f7f186d25d3492`
**SHA256:** `fd2547724b505f487e6dcb29ec2ecff3af35a841a77ab2e85fd87350abd36570`
