WHAT IS .:OsUp:...?
This homebrew allows you to update through WiFi the OS of your flashcard.
All you need is an Access Point and a correct configuration for the DS connection.
To set correctly these parameters, you can use one of the commercial games that support the online playing (for example Mario Kart DS).

By now the supported flashcards are:
- AceKard2
- AceKard RPG
- EDGE
- R4
- DSTT
- SuperCardDS One
- SuperCardDS One SDHC

HOW TO USE?
At startup, .:OsUp:. shows you the loading process. After that, you can choose what do you want to do: Update Flashcard, Update OsUp itself or, if you want, you can take a look at the Credit's page.
NOTE for the AcekardRPG users: put the file and the folder in the NAND memory!


  UPDATE CARD:
Once you have selected this mode, .:OsUp:. automaticaly recognizes your flashcard's manufacturer and model and then shows you the changelog of the last version of the OS of your card.
For those cards, such as the AceKard2 or the AceKard RPG, that have also a custom version of the respective firmware, .:OsUp:. will ask you what kind of OS do you want to update.
To begin the upgrade process follow the simple instruction, enableing, before the start of the updating process, the Autopoweroff function that will poweroff the DS at the end of the upgrade.

  UPDATE .:OsUp:.
Upgrading .:OsUp:. is very similar to the "Update Card" function. However you have only to follow the simple instruction that will be displayed on the screen of the Nintendo DS.

  SETTINGS
From this submenu, you can set the options pertaining the language (with more choices being planned for addition).
The currently available options are three, selectable by touching the corresponding area within the grey rectangle:

- AUTO: automatically detects the DS system language
- English: sets english as the default language
- Italian: sets italian as the default language
Both the latter options override the default system setting.

If any other language has been selected, English will be automatically chosen. French and spanish will be added later.
The osup_config.ini gives access to two more parameters, namely color options for text and the progress bar.
You will find the following strings:

     ...
     text_r=0
     text_g=0
     text_b=0
     ...

These options are self-explanatory. Keep in mind that values MUST be kept within 0 and 31.


  VITAL NOTE
It's vitally important that, once .:OsUp:. begins the Unzipping process, you MUST NOT TURN OFF THE DS for any reason.
