    I am not giving you guys a ROM or how to hack the ROM. I am telling you how to get this working on a flashcartridge named CycloDS and EDGE. It isn't very hard, though.

    WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
    The ROM
    DSLazy
    CycloDS Evolution or EDGE
    A Computer
    MicroSD
    The patch which I will give in the bottom.

    HOW TO DO IT:
    1 ) If you have 1.54 B4 or 1.54+, then skip to step 2
    1a ) Make a TEAMCYCLOPS account. (Sorry, you can't use hotmail)
    1b ) Get 1.54 B4, 1.54, or anything newer.
    2 ) Get the ROM
    3 ) Make a 2nd copy (Ctrl+C, New Folder, name it whatever you want, enter it, Ctrl+V) and get DSLazy
    4 ) Extract the patch (V2) in the new folder.
    5 ) Check the ROM's name and if it's "xpa-gtac.nds" skip the next step.
    5a ) Rename the rom to "xpa-gtac.nds"
    6 ) Move the file over the *.bat* file and you're going to have a patched ROM!
    7 ) Extract DSLazy in its own folder
    8 ) Open DSLazy and load the patched ROM
    9 ) Extract the patched ROM to bits and move the folder to the patched ROM
    10 ) Open the normal ROM and extract that one to bits
    11 ) DO NOT MOVE THE EXTRACTION! Instead, just copy the ARM9 file to the new folder, overwriting the previous one.
    12 ) Put the ROM all together again using DSLazy
    13 ) Copy it to the CycloDS
    14 ) PLAY THE GAME!

    FAQ:

    Q) Wi-Fi isn't working for me! Why did this happen?
    A) Well, Wi-Fi should work as it did on mine, but you can replace the ARM7 file with the one from BomberMan 2.

    Q) It still shows a Black Screen!
    A) You must've done something wrong.

    Q) Why does this game have to have a top look?
    A) Ask Rockstar North.

    Q) How is this possible as this tutorial came before the game release?
    A) The ROM was released several days prior to the game release.
