QuoteI just ordered the SuperCard DS One Slot-1 Solution..apparently it even comes pre-loaded with Moonshell!  :D

i would not get to excited the version of moonshell the scdsone is based on is very old (1.41?) so you will still have to install 1.71 to get the best quality video

Hi,
I just bought a m3 real and have a 8 gig cart. It didn't come with a cd but i did download the new 3.3 firmware and install it into the SYSTEM (with caps) folder. But it seems as almost nothing is working. There is no pda, none of the media player or files are working. moonshell 1.7.1 isn't working which i have installed more than once. Do i have to download and install an original firmware first and then add these files to the system folder?(which i dont think i have to) The skins are working from the 3.3 firmware, i can see my files i added to the sd card. I can play the nds games with the emulator on here that came with the card. The 7 sections are on here that you choose from. I thought all of this was suppose to be on the m3 real card itself when you buy it?, Because the box says they are build-in emulators, media-ex application and moonshell media player, built in pda, non of this exists on here. or is all of that added to the card when you install the firmware? (which i dont think it is)

The media section locks up when you go to it,(probably because there is no media player installed on the m3 card for some reason). So, i am having some issues here.
I didn't format the sd card when i bought it, but the computer said it is already a fat32 system, (so i figured there was no reason to format it when it was already a fat32 system) so maybe i should format it to fat32 anyhow or should i try to format it to standard fat system? Which being an 8 gig sd card i do believe you use fat32. Some ideas here and suggestions?
So i suppose here it is in a nut shell:
the supposed built-in pda (from m3 real card) it says no pda files found,
moonshell doesn't work at all, not quite sure if you are suppose to click the moonshell.nds file to start it or click a mp3 file or movie file or what but none of that is working (plus i cant see the mp3 files or the movie files in the listing to be able to click them),
The skins are working.

OK, i thought i would have a reply by now but guess not. :(
Anyhow i did install dsorganize and it works fine and i can play my mp3s with it. I can use my touchscreen in it as well, but i cant anywhere else except the games. Moonshell doesnt work still, pdads doesnt work still since cant touchscreen, mediaex doesnt work probably cause i cant touch screen also. I did format my card to fat32 just incase it was messed up somewhere else. I am down to 2 things i think can be worng here: 1. My m3ds real/or ds doesnt like my 8 gig sandisk for some reason or my m3ds real is messed up slightly (which i am leaning towards my real card dont like my 8 gig card. Any ideas here?

This is a stupid mom, so many apologies.  Daughter has a TTDS.  Have downloaded version 171 of MoonShell but don't know what to do next once I am in setup.exe  Any help greatly appreciated.  Not computer literate at all.  Have also downloaded a dpg movie from Valentinedp... so ready to go - in theory.

not stupid just a little inexperienced in this matter ... we all have to learn somewhere ;)

fortunate for you ... you came to the best place for information and help!  ;D


Just use the moonshell already created for TOP TOY

Get it HERE UNZIP and open the folder called moonshell_v1.71 there will be a folder called moonshl and an nds file called _moonshl copy both the file and the folder including its contents to your MEMORY CARD root folder ie the first folder when you open the memory card when you open it in mycomputer  ;)

Isn't it easy when someone explains?  Now the movie is working on daughter's DS!!  Now all I need to do is rip her dvds!  Wish moonshell used mp4 cos I already have them for the ipod.  Tried dpg convert and it wouldn't accept my avi movies...something to do with sound.  Back to the drawing board I guess!  Thanks so much for all your help.  Really appreciate it.   And yes - when it comes to comps I am thick!  Don't mind admitting it!  Once someone explains it is easy, but until then it is like wandering around in the dark.

Added the dstt/top toy to the download section of the tutorial.

You can try downloading and installing the "SUPER" video converter.  It can usually take any video file you can throw at it and convert it to anything, with DPG being one of the options.

Thank you so much dantheman.  Super C is fantastic.  One very happy daughter!

I received this pm from a new member named blackburn

QuoteHello,

I just got my DS recently, well i had a Moonshell version in with EZ Flash 5 card ( Micro SD support ).
Now how do i install the new version i tried formatting the MicroSD then install the new Moonshell, when running its sayin some EZ***.bin not found. I have a backup of the previous contents of the MicroSD, it had 2 .bin files, how do i install a fresh new version of Moonshell 1.71, please do help.


Thanks
BlackBurn

I replied with
QuoteWelcome to scdev. I am not sure of your level with the ezflash 5 and moonshell, etc... so i will just go with new user (sorry if this is wrong).
Did you format your microsd to FAT (FAT16) not FAT32. And i am assuming your ezflash5 is the latest firmware (or whichever version you want). After that, i haven't seen a .bin file needed for ezflash5 moonshell (well searching the moonshl folder, there is a .bin in the plugins folder). You need to put them both in the root dir of your microsd card. So you would have a moonshl folder and the 'MoonShell_EZ5S_MOON_EZ Flash 5 (SD Card).nds' if you got it from the tutorial (btw, you can just rename it to whatever you like, just as long as it has the .nds on the end).

Have you done this much? and what are your results.

then he sent the following

QuoteThanks for the reply.

Well i am a noobie to this. I had tried out the same way as u said. I put in the mooshl and the .nds on the root directory.
I tried booting it, it comes till the ezFlash Wallpaper and stops with the top screen black and blank.

then I tried updating on booting, kept the R button pressed to enter to the prompt mode :
"FAT 16 Filesystem ok.
R to Update
L to be Passme"

i pushed the R button once again, the result of this is :
"Fatal error!! ez5upldr.bin not found.
Quit Updating."

Now you see the issue?

and this as well

QuoteAnd i cross checked my shop given flash card, it contains the following in the root directory
-> moonshl <folder>
-> EZ5upldr.bin
-> ez5sys.bin

And of course comparing the moonshl folder that you provided from the sites in the forum, it contains only some of the files, well i have more files in mine.

I do not own an EZflash5, if anyone can lend a hand that would be great. I won't be able to look into it until late tomorrow or the next night (or possible 3-4 days as work has annual outage).

dldi patch??

not sure if dldi is autopatching on ez5?  but then again autopatching does not allways work either a manual patch often helps :)
