Currently there is no boot menu that can be flashed to the MK2 and have it work without a flashcard.

So this thing is pretty much useless? Why would they send me something i couldnt use?

for the menu 0.3 release, burn it to your flashcart - it is an ds.gba file and should be put first on the flashcart (ie: no gba loaders).

The menu is essentially a homebrew NDS file, and explanations on how to run homebrew on many flashcarts can be found here (pretend your MK2 is a passme, which it essentially is, with the addition of a few other things as well):

If you have and F2A ultra, EZ1/2, or XG/NeoFlash cart I can explain it...

Ahh, you have a multimedia card then, not a flash cart.

The MK2/3 boot menu must load off a GBA flash cart that can run NDS files, or one that can have only 1 GBA file with no boot menu.

This was in the hardware spec (although a little vague :( )
"boot from ANY flash cart"

You can get a low sized flashcart fairly cheaply nowadays, a 256MB EZ1 card is $37USD plus shipping at winsunx.com, and will work with the boot menu (just not for burning to the cart). Unless you have a GBA flashcart or adapter, or the coders come up with a way to boot the MK2/3's without using a flashcart (kindof doubtful though) then the MK2 is not of much use.  :(
