1. Download the latest version of DevKitPro from http://www.devkitpro.org/ (currently devkitProUpdater-1.4.9.exe)
2. Run the installer and select to download and install the full package (this includes tools for compiling GBA/NDS/GP32/PSP/GameCube/Wii binaries)
3. To compile all the NDS examples just open devkitPro\examples\nds\allexamples.pnproj and select Tools->Make
4. Download the following emulators into devkitPro\emulators\*emuname*

- Visualboy Advance (GBA) http://vba.ngemu.com
- No$GBA (GBA / NDS) http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm
- DeSmuME (NDS) http://desmume.org/
- iDeaS (NDS) http://www.ideasemu.org
- NeonDS (NDS) http://www.neonds.com
- Dualis (NDS) http://dualis.1emu.net/

5. Create a folder called devkitPro\source\gba and devkitPro\source\nds
6. Your ready to go!

NOTES:

- I also suggest you take a look at GBATek for technical info on the GBA & NDS
- Also check out the PDF cheat sheet for a quick guide to the ARM instruction set
- For Windows XP I recommend the Command Line Here tool so you can right click in a folder to open the command prompt for compiling.
- lec09_ARMasm is a simple power point presentation introducing some of the basic aspects of the ARM processor
