As a new user and a "non techie" I'm amazed at what you guys are able to do!

I'm anxious to have the page-flipping joystick. I downloaded the universal flasher, but I don't understand "unzip to the card." I'm a Mac user and I sometimes have trouble converting PC terms to Mac terms. I unzipped the file to my desktop (only way I know how to do it) and copied it to the card. Now the card shows a folder named "sd_flash_1" with 11 items in it named "bin," "files," "flash_opt.sh," etc.

If I understand what I have read in this thread, I should get rid of the sd_flash_1 folder and just put all the other 11 files "loose" on the card. Does this sound right? (This is a new card--has not been used before.)

Thanks for the help!
