Duokan English for DX install HELP

Hi all
I appreciate I'm a bit late to this but have just ordered a Kindle DX (serial no B005 A0A2 ???? ????) and am looking at installing Duokan on it. Downloaded the final English version from an old link I found here, and get that I need the 3 folders installed (DK docs, pics and system) on root of Kindle but I'm confused which .bin I should copy over? Both of them, the dx or dxi one??
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks guys and gals ����

DX is the DXG with inferior screen.
Also most places the 2G/3G no longer works. No WiFi. Without JB and USB Networking you can't set the date/time and then it's 1970 and all is broken, unless you get a cell connection (and can take a day).
Certs out of date so web browser doesn't really work.

Never post entire serial number as people could perhaps get it blacklisted.

I think Duokan might not work well on the K1, K2, DXG and DX (not enough RAM).
I suspect minimum is a K3 (though DXG was released just after K3, it's basically a DX with better screen).

Cheers for that. Fully aware that 3g not working and no WiFi, bought it understanding it'll be essentially a dumb terminal, I just want to dump my own books and comics onto it, not interested in Web browsing or signing into my amazon account.
As for black listing, I'd be amazed if it isn't already blacklisted and if I can't get online with it because it has no WiFi and 3g support has ended how will it be affected?
I've looked at the page you've suggested and it still doesn't answer my question. Which .bin do I need to copy over to install?
Thanks
