In order to trick DS into booting unofficial code, it requires either having FlashMe installed or more commonly some kind of device in Slot-1. In addition to a way to boot homebrew, you also need an add-on device to store homebrew programs on. There are several different devices that allow you to do this. They can be divided into two categories: Slot-1 devices and Slot-2. | In order to trick DS into booting unofficial code, it requires either having FlashMe installed or more commonly some kind of device in Slot-1.

Whilst popular, Slot-1 cannot provide extra RAM that DSLinux needs for lots of its features. Therefore, a Slot-2 RAM extension such as the one supplied with the Opera DS browser is recommended if you want to run DSLinux with a Slot-1 device. | Whilst popular, Slot-1 cannot provide extra RAM that DSLinux needs for lots of its features.
