EZ Flash 5 - Manual
First, congratulations to your purchase of an EZ Flash 5!
In this manual, EZ Flash V & EZ Flash 5 will hereafter be called EZ5.
1. What's inside the box?
• 1 x EZ5 DS card
2. What else is needed to use the EZ5?
You need a Micro-SD/TransFlash memory card and a computer with a compatible memory
card reader (either built-in or external).
Please take note that some brands of Micro-SD/TransFlash memory cards have much faster
read & write speeds compared to others. The EZ5 can be used even with slow MicroSD/Transflash cards but in such cases a special tool, the Hybrid tool, may be needed for
some games to function properly. Users with faster speed Micro-SD/TransFlash cards will
not need to use this tool at all.
3. Preparing your Micro-SD/TransFlash memory card
It is advised that you format your Micro-SD/TransFlash with FAT32 for best
performance, although FAT16 will also work.
In order for the EZ5 to function properly some files are needed to be placed on
your Micro-SD/TransFlash, in a folder called /shell. Download the latest ve rsion
of these files by going to http://www.plextor.nl. As it can be slow to download

(kernel) will be released. It is advised that you check http://www.plextor.nl periodically
and download the latest version. Again, updates can also be found on resellers websites,
such as http://www.plextor.nl . Once downloaded, extract the file inside the .zip to the
root of your Micro-SD/TransFlash card.
You should now have a folder on your Micro-SD/TransFlash called /shell and a file in the root
called ez5upldr.bin
Remove the Micro-SD/TransFlash card from your memory card reader and insert it into your
EZ5 card. Next, insert the EZ5 card into your Nintendo DS console and power it up. If your
DS is set to autoboot to DS game, press the R button right away. If your DS is set to start
with the DS Menu, simply choose to start the "EZ-Flash V" and then press and hold the R
button.

button. Instructions will be shown on screen. To upgrade the software press the R button
