 ## Finding your specific matrix
 
 This firmware was modified from [ps2avrGB](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/ps2avrGB), also found on this qmk repo, to work with the YMD96 keyboard. However, I only have one board to test with, which might have a different layout than yours. To get qmk working with your specific layout, you'll need to follow these steps:

 ## Installing and Building
 
-First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
-need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
-
-```
-$ brew cask install crosspack-avr
-$ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
-```
-
-In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
-the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
-
-```
-$ pip install pyusb
-```
+Since the YMD96 uses an ATmega32a chip instead of the 32u4, you need to download [HIDBootFlash v.1.0](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash) for Windows. If anyone knows of a Linux/Mac bootflasher that works, edit this readme!  
+On Windows, I use [MINGw](http://www.mingw.org/) to compile the keymaps. On Linux, you can simply use the terminal. 
 
+Once you have those two pieces of software:
 Build the keyboard with  
 ```
-$ make ymd96:default  
+$ make ymd96-default  
 ```  
 If you make your own layout, change the `default` word to whatever your layout is.  
 
+And flash the compiled hex file with `HIDBootFlash`. Simply put the board in flashing mode by plugging it in while holding control, and click `find device`. Then you can specify the .hex file and flash it to the device.
