Navigate to the Filetrip website (see Resources) and click the "Download Selected Version" button on the right side of the page. Make sure the version you download shows "[Latest!]" next to its name.
Navigate to the "Downloads" folder on your computer and then right-click on the file and select "Extract Here." The application will create a new folder called "Wood R4" that contains all the files that have to be installed on your Nintendo DS.
Press down gently on the R4 card inserted in Slot 1 of your Nintendo DS. Slot 1 is located at the top of your DS and is where the game cartridges (or R4 card) must be inserted in order for the device to read them. Remove the micro SD card from the R4 card and insert it into your computer card reader.
Hold down the left mouse button and drag your mouse cursor over all the extracted files to select them. The files will be highlighted if done correctly. Right-click and select "Copy" from the menu.
Double-click on the drive under "Removable Devices" corresponding to the micro SD card you inserted. This will place you in the root directory card. Right-click anywhere and select "Paste" from the menu to copy the files from your hard drive to the card. You will now have a file ending in the "DAT" extension as well as a directory called "_rpg" on the card.

Remove the micro SD card from your card reader and insert it into the R4 card. Insert the R4 card into Slot 1 of your Nintendo DS and start the device. The DS will automatically boot from the R4 card and show the "Wood R4" operating screen.
