 First we will start off with updating DMDreader. Then updating ZeDMDos. Lastly there is a mini tutorial on how to install or update colorization files.
 
 ### Updating DMDreader
-1. Download the latest file. This file is what will be flashed  onto the RP2040 chip. [Click this link to download file: DMDreader [0.4.0]](https://drive.usercontent.google.com/uc?id=1a3X7LJjNwEYenm08rg9z6rdp6sjTPe5c&export=download) You should now have a file named `dmdreader.uf2` in your downloads folder.
-2. Grab a USB cable. For most this will be a USB-C to USB-A cable. Others might need Micro USB to USB-A. 
+1. Download `dmdreader-ppucdmd.zip`. [Click here to go to the latest release!](https://github.com/PPUC/dmdreader/releases/latest). Check your downloads folder and unzip/unpack. You should see a file named `dmdreader-ppucdmd.uf2` in the extracted folder. This file is what will be flashed onto the RP2040 chip.
+2. Grab a USB cable. For most this will be a USB-C to USB-A cable. Others might need Micro USB to USB-A.
 3. Make sure game is turned off, **WARNING: in case of owning a REV. 1A/B board, you must remove the Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 from the PPUC/DMD carrier PCB! The power trace is directly connected to the Rapsberry, so it NEEDS to be removed!** When owning a REV. 1C board you don't have to worry, you can lay the DMD down for easy access to the USB-C port.
 4. On the RP2040/Pico microcontroller and REV. 1C board, you'll find a button labeled `BOOTSEL`. This button enables software flashing mode. [Watch this video for a demonstration!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os4mv_8jWfU) To enter this mode, hold down the `BOOTSEL` button while connecting the USB cable from your computer to the RP2040/Pico. Once connected, a folder should appear on your computer named `RP2-B2`.
 5. Drag and drop the `dmdreader.uf2` file into that folder, which was obtained in step 1. Wait a few seconds until the `RP2-B2` folder closes.
