Establish connection with your PC

First thing you want to do after you get a GameShell is to connect it with your PC. You can do so via WiFi or USB. After that you can SSH into GameShell or use FTP client to transfer files.

Establish connection

Via WiFi

Follow skywalker101's tutorial

Via USB

Go to Settings and choose Network gateway switch

Now if you connect your GS to PC via USB cable, it should be recognized as a COM Gadget or something like that. You have to install drivers to use it.
