4. Installation

Install NZSimulator.cia as follows.

To run NZSimulator.cia, save the NZSimulator.cia file in the tool folder to the SD card in the 3DS development unit.
Also save the nzsim folder where the configuration file is stored to the SD card. The directory structure is as follows /nzsim/NetworkErrorSim.cfg.
Start DevMenu from the development unit with the SD card inserted, and then import NZSimulator.cia.
You can run NZSimulator by starting the imported NZSimulator.cia file.
The error codes generated by NZSimulator.cia vary depending on the firmware version of the 3DS system you are using to check the errors.
