 Hardware Supported: YMD96 with the ATmega32a chip.  
 Hardware Availability: The GB was run June 2017, [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/6hu3yx/vendor_ymd96_gb_is_now_live_68_an_universal_and/). The vendor has stated that they plan on selling more rounds.
 
+A very big thanks to @krusli for making the RGB underglow, Backlight, CapsLock and NumLock LEDs working correctly.

 ## 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
 
-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!

For Linux you can use the [bootloadHID](https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html) utility (which will require building). Arch Linux users can alternatively install this from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bootloadhid/).
 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 by navigating to the root folder of the QMK repo and running

 If you make your own layout, change the `default` word to whatever your layout is.
