How to Use DSHobro
DSHobro, short for DS Homebrew Browser, is a free software application that allows you to surf the Internet on your Nintendo DS. The program runs a server application on your PC that transmits web data directly to your DS, which runs the browser program from an external storage device. DSHobro allows you to access the Web from your home network as well as a remote access point, like a WiFi hotspot. Install the program and you'll be able to use your DS like a PDA.

Tips & Warnings
If you see a message that says "The Zero-Configuration server appears to be down" when you start the PC server application, do not close the server window. You will have to enter your PC's IP address into DSHobro manually by pressing "X" when you start the program on your DS.
Do not close the server application on your PC. DSHobro requires the server to be running on your PC to connect to the Internet. Only download the DSHobro ZIP file from costello.dev-fr.org or gbatemps.net. These are the official sources of the file. Any other sources may replace the contents with malicious software.
