The autor of Moonshell has made a new version with tests of a new video format.

yep.. it's just not compiled for supercard yet.  it's the video format discussed a few threads down in this same forum.  

mpeg1+2...

Being a complete newb to Homebrew, is there a way to compile this thing myself or do I have to wait until some ultra skilled programmer does it.  

<3 Moonshell.

ho3w does it work new moonshell or do i still have to convert it ?

The moonshell people should just make the SC interface a compile option in their project source.  Moonshell is very limited anyway without access to some type of flash storage.  Why should we have to wait for the Roman team to build each new version for us?   :roll:

Romman HASN'T been building new versions for us. Cory and a few other people have (the source for direct SD/CF access has been available for a couple months)

And the person who does moonshell doesn't OWN a SC, so you'd be asking him to program blindly for these devices... it's not like it's that hard for other people to compile the program if they have everything... the source is readily available.

How can you say its not that hard for other people to compile for SC?  The Moonshell author hasnt released source since 0.6

It's been months in which there have been several moonshell updates, and not one source release, and therefore no new SC version.

If the guy who does Moonshell would just work with Cory and the others there would be a unified source that can build for SD or M3.  It's silly to say he'de be programming blind if others are working on that section of the source for him.  It's how Open Source coding is done, especially in the sense of multiple platforms, you get a team of people working on something, with each specializing in different departments.

Anyway even without the help from others, the Moonshell author could use Cory's mod with little to no trouble.

Of the two plaforms(SC and M3) the SC needs Moonshell the most, thats our only way of media playing.  M3 has a built in Media player system that supports several formats(sure not as much as Moonshell).  But the SC has nothing but Moonshell.  So SC REALLY needs Moonshell to maintain support for it.

Lean on an author, or atleast let them know what the public wants, and they may very well listen.  I know thats how I decide how to develop my software.

I've never written a lick of code for the NDS(and I sooo shouldnt start or I'll never be able to stop)... but if I had the source for Moonshell 0.6+3 right now, I bet I could have Corys SC mods compiled into it within an hour.

The bigest question at hand for me, is why hasn't the Moonshell author released source since 0.6?

Koji - Thanks for your input.  No disrespect to this Cory or the Moonshell people.  I know that Romman released code to directly access the CF/SD months ago.  I also know that the last source i looked at (MoonShell v0.6) did not support file access on SuperCard flash.  So, good for Cory for merging the source.  (I thought it was Romman because they released it on their site)

Anyway, the point is that the Moonshell people are doing excellent work with codec/media support.  I would just like to see them directly support access to M3, MP, and SC flash files, as this support is what makes Moonshell truly usefull.  I believe the Moonshell author could get a SuperCard for free if he asked, so that is not an issue.

I just don't like having to depend on Cory/Romman/whomever to release new hacked versions.  There should be one common source.  Thanks again.

The new versions support the M3 directly.. but not the SC...  FYI.... mean ol' Moonlight dont like us SC users... heh.. j/k  someone needs to buy him an SC tho.

Well, the version I downloaded most recently from Moonlight works perfectly fine with my CF Supercard.  Give it a try.  It works great.

It probably doesn't work with the SD supercard, as he's probably using chishm's CF FAT drivers. ScummVMDS doesn't work with SCSD yet for the same reason.

And what version are you referring to?  0.6 for Supercard?  or the 0.6+3 DPG test?

[cory1492]

current FAT driver in Moonshell supports M3 CF, GBA MP CF and SC CF - trust me when I say I have been biting my nails trying to get unified source that does not require the source asm file for chishm's driver, and if I dont have it soon its likely chishm will convert it himself - so then SCUMM, Moonshell, RAIN and SNES DS (which already uses the asm anyway) should have support for SC SD in their next respective builds after the driver is converted and tested. Im willing to bet that there is also someone looking at adding M3 SD to this as well, and perhaps even MK2/3 if it can be done from ARM9.

If you feel its taking too long, then grab the sd.s file and the current FAT driver from GBADEV.org and go ahead and translate it into C I sure would appreciate it as the asm is essentially voodoo to me (although I am getting it now ).

Also note, that using the current driver for SC SD, other files such as the MP3 plugin needed to be changed to work properly with the SC, since the asm file is not all that optimal and card access is not as fast using it as the CF driver's access is.

well people, now there is really something new!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know what it is though, check it out! :!:

Thanks for that info.  It's hard to know whats up in Moonlights world.  Since he seems to communicate pretty exclusively in Japanese.

Mainly, I just didn't know if anyone who had the ability was working on SC SD(or even SC) access for the new versions of Moonshell.  (and its really good to know this could open doors for others like SnesDS, and SCUMM)
