You need a few pieces of equipment that may be hard to come by (i.e. an Action Replay), several programs, and a suitable PC environment to go from start to finish. To make things easier, you should ensure that you have everything you need before you get started. |

To access xbins, you need an IRC client and an FTP client. Just about any IRC client will work (I use mIRC in Windows and Konversation in Ubuntu), but xbins is very particular about the type of FTP client you use: it requires an FTP client that does not attempt to use multiple connections to download files. It recommends FlashFXP, SmartFTP, and CuteFTP. | To access xbins, you need an IRC client and an FTP client.
