But I copied the shell folder with everything in it onto my CF card, and when I access it on my DS lite it says a lot of stuff and then error?? What the hell am I doing??

[Zygarth]

The shell folder needs to be in the root directory.

[emblem4ever]

Ok....and how do I do that?

[Zygarth]

By just putting it in X:/ where X is the drive letter of your flash storage. I would suggest that you learn a little bit more about your pc.

[emblem4ever]

Excuse me... anyways thats what I've been doing from the begining, but when I click on shell on my DS, it says a lot of stuff and then error, I just downloaded a pre-made package, copied the shell folder to my CF card and thats it.. or is there more to it?

[onekelly]

Emblem, does it boot up right after the error message? If so that is normal with this release and nothing to worry about.

You should copy over to your CF, the moonshell file and the shell folder to your in the root dir, like zygarth said.

Also take a look at the fatsort tutorial to get things in order on your cf card.

OK, when I click the _BOOT)MP_MMCF_Maxmedia_CF, it comes to a blue screen (ontop) telling me what its doing and it says this: Detected adapter is MPCF, then (or external CF/SD memory adapter), then find path..., then find., then can not found shell folder. Thats all it shows, on the bottom it asks  a bunch of startup questions. So what does this all mean,?
by the way guys, thanks for your patience and helpfulness, I'm new to this but I really wnna learn.

[Zygarth]

Why a maxmedia? Didn't you have the Supercard cf?

[onekelly]

Yes, you need the second one down on the premade list MoonShell for SuperCard CF, not the max media one

[emblem4ever]

Makes sense, I'll try it

Thanks Guys

[emblem4ever]

YES!! I finally got it working, i'm listening to music as we speak, Thanks A LOT!

But I noticed moonshell displays all the roms that I have on my supercard, but I can't play them because it doesn't support exe.DSQ. Is this normal?

[onekelly]

Yes to your question. You could also organize your CF card with a few folders like NDS roms, Music, Movies, GBA roms, NES roms, etc..

Also you can hide the shell folder by putting it in your card reader and right click on the folder and check hidden. I aldo renamed moonshell to video player so it would be at the bottom of the list.

Make sure to check out fatsort tutorial for getting CF card in order alpha.

Now if you want to spruce up your moonshell, this is how. Take a look at the global.ini with a txt viewer and look for this (also many settings in there to change if you like.)


In the global.ini look for this


; 1.1 StartPath = [//Path/to/folder] (Default = //AUTO)

; Defines folder to be displayed in FileBrowser after boot.
; Can be something like '//MPCF' (to start browsing directly from CF),
; or '//GBFS' (to start browsing directly from flashcart's GBFS).

; ‹N“®Žž‚̍�...‰‚Ì�'p�'X‚ðŽw’肵‚Ü‚·B‘¶Ý‚µ‚È‚¢�'p�'X‚ÍŽw’肵‚È‚¢‚�...‰º‚³‚¢B
; '//AUTO'‚ðŽw’è‚·‚é‚ÆŽ©“®�'Ÿo‚µ‚Ü‚·B

StartPath=//AUTO

***************
Now I have a folder for what I use moonshell for and it is Movies. So I have the following.

StartPath=//MPCF/Movies

I also have the movies folder hidden (only the folder not its contents or it will hide the movies as well) so my daughter doesn't mess with it when choosing a game. I also hide the shell folder as well.

You can do the same for whatever you use moonshell for as well.

You just have to have the //MPCF/(then whatever folder you want it to start with)

[emblem4ever]

Thanks, thank you for everything onekelly.

[drunk]

can you make the volume of the mp3's louder?

[onekelly]

To quote the tutorial

X raises the volume,
Y lowers it (0% to 400%),
L pauses the video/song, and
R is used to play the next song/video/picture.
The D-Pad and stylus are used for the rest.
