USB driver refusing to install

[bloaty]

Ok top left I see cartridge, in the drop down I see "disk (0,0) on neo writer 1"

When I try to "add" a rom file the prog browses to the file but nothing happens.

in the main box i see ds booter but nothing else?

when i plug the slim loader in i get a windows baloon at the bottom of the screen saying windows does not recognise this device.

If you are seeing disk (0,0) on neo writer, then the cart is being detected properly by Neo Power Kit.  Did you click on that 'ds booter' file first, and then click the 'remove' button.  Then, you add the file you want to burn.  When you are burning files using Neo Power Kit in nds mode, you can only add a single file at a time.

I don't know about your message about windows not recognizing the device.  If that were the case, I don't see how the cart can even be detected in Neo Power kit.

Well, you have two issues to deal with....

First you have purchased the older neoflash mk1 linker set (which is no longer supported here).  Thefore, you won't be able to run some of the newer commercial roms....

The most current neoflash product is the mk3.  If you want one that comes bundled with a 512 Mb flashcart, this is the appropriate link:

http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-nds-neo1

However, the software is still being developed, so there are still various bugs, so don't expect 100% compatibility...

Your second problem is that you have a newer firmware version that is not compatible with any magic key (mk1/mk2/mk3).  This means you need to buy a separate device to add compatibility (called PassMe2).  The idea is to replace your incompatible firmware with a hacked, older version that IS compatible with mk1/mk2/mk3 (through an application called Flashme).  PassMe2 can be used to install the Flashme firmware on your ds.

You can purchase a PassMe2 device here, or buy equivalent commercial versions : SuperPass2, Passkey2, EZPass2.

You should read the mk2/mk3 guide for more detailed information here:

http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php/topic,1529.0.html

Specifically, read Requirement #2 about PassMe2, and understand that part well before even purchasing a PassMe2 device, if you decide to go that route.

Thanks BruceG I am starting to understand these terms better, off to do more reading

Thanks again

If you are going to buy a PassMe2 device from that site, you buy one that has been pre-configured for a ds game cartridge you already own....

For installing the flashme application, that Pepsiman SRAM writer (called 'passme2flashme') is probably the easiest to use and understand (just flash it to your gba cart and run it). 

First, it will write the SRAM data on your gba cart (for the ds game cartridge you have used to configure your Passme2 device) 

Next, you connect your passme2 device (with ds cartridge inserted), re-boot your ds, and then it will run the flashme application.  The flashme firmware has been updated recently, but you can always update to the latest version 7 later on...

I already have the link in the guide, but here it is again:
