Hi I was wondering if their was a way to make a plugin for emulators in moonshell?  It doesnt seem that hard but I dont realy know, maybe it is?

Yes I think this could be done.  Both Moonshell and the emulator would have to be modified slightly.  There would have to be a configuration file used by Moonshell with information about the location of the emulator.nds, and file extensions used by the emulator.  When an emulated game ROM was selected in the Moonshell menu, the ROM selection could be passed to the emulator as it was launched.  The passing of information from Moonshell to an emulator could be accomplished by writing to a special file or location in RAM.
