### Preparing Your Pokémon Soul Silver Game

1. Connect your DS/DSi console to a computer via USB cable.

### Activating Save File Importation within Emulators

------------------------------------------------

1. Launch the Pokémon Soul Silver game through your chosen GBA emulator on your console.
