This tutorial will tell you how to get your DSi ready to accept homebrew code binaries (*.nds) to be run in DSi mode over wifi from your PC using an Action Replay DSi and a retail copy of Cooking Coach or Classic Word Games.
'''DSiLink Installer''' is a tool that allows you to get your DSi ready to accept homebrew code binaries (*.nds) to be run in DSi-enhanced mode (no [[NAND]] access) over WiFi from your PC using an Action Replay DSi and a retail copy of Cooking Coach or Classic Word Games.
 
When you run this app, it places a copy of [[dslink]] onto the DSi's WiFi chip. This binary is loaded when the hacked game save written to your retail cart is read by the game. The dslink app then listens for further code to be sent over WiFi.  You can accomplish this by running one of the pre-compiled binaries for your OS located in the "host" folder in the dslink archive.
