 ===Option A: Dumping Saves===
 In the command prompt you just opened, type the following command:
- Code:
   nc.exe -l -p 1234 > savefile.sav <br>
-(that's a lowercase L in -l, not a number 1) where 1234 is the port number you specified in savsender.conf (in the example, 5000) and savefile.sav is the name of the file you wish to save as. If your firewall asks you to allow traffic by the program, accept it. Leave this window running even though it looks like it's doing nothing.

 ===Option B: Restoring Saves===
 In the command prompt you just opened, type the following command:
- Code:
   nc.exe -l -p 1234 < savefile.sav <br>
-(that's a lowercase L in "-l", not a number 1) where 1234 is the port number you specified in savsender.conf (in the example, 5000) and savefile.sav is the name of the save file you wish to restore to your DS cartridge. If your firewall asks you to allow traffic by the program, accept it. Leave this window running even though it looks like it's doing nothing.

 Note that this looks nearly identical to the command for dumping saves, the only difference being that the > sign is flipped to a < sign.

 '''Note regarding restoration:'''
-In version 1.0, an older, less reliable method of detecting and dumping the EEPROM was used, and as such it may have produced overdumps, files larger than they need to be. Attempting to restore these overdumps with version 1.1 will give corruption, but by cropping the save file to the size it should be, you can restore it correctly. The use of a hex editor for this is recommended.

 The method proposed in this guide, which uses NetCat, is confirmed to work on Windows Vista, which the tutorial can be found [http://www.scdev.org/forum/index.php/topic,9915.0.html here].
