maybe i am a little bit stupid, but there ist something i do not understand:
I tried to play a movie with moonshell11 and i used the moonshell-dpgtools for conversation.
dpgtools converts movie.mpg to movie.dgp
moonshell says "unknown file extention", but with the supercard-cd comming video with the extention .dmv playback is fine!
What is my prob?
Maybe i made a mistake with moonshell, because the 0.6 version has a size of 1489084 bytes, but the V11 (_BOOT_MP_EXFS.nds - is this the right filename?) has 4280960 bytes.
Is there somewhere a howto for moonshell?
How could i view movies with the nds ands the supercard?
(maybe a howto too...)

If you got "_BOOT_MP_EXFS.nds", you have used "CreateNDSROM_for_EXFS.bat" to create it. If you want file for SC, use "Setup.exe" for this. You will get " _BOOT_MP.nds" and "shell" folder on the target drive that you have selected.  If it was your memory card, you are ready to put it into SC and watch movies. If it was other drive, copy that file and folder to your memory card (folder must be in main directory).

Now to use moonshell you'll need to run the setup file and point the target drive to your CF or SD card and be sure under the rom image section that you put a check mark by the supercard option and you can uncheck the other 2 boxs. It will copy the files to your media card along with a folder that is named shell. It will create a BOOT_MP.nds file that you will run from the supercard menu

The 2nd program is the movie convert it is used to convert video into the appropriate format for moonshell. The file you'll want to run is dpgenc.exe it will start the program.
