sorry bout that had to go to pub so was doing the quickest compile ever. well now my hurts like its been on the ass end of an ass kicking and ive got to travel so i wont be able to look into until i get back later on.

Moonshell dude doesnt have an SD so he doesnt release an SD version because he cant test it. Well anyway ill look into whats going on later...

As far as I can tell with the source, nothing in it is using the scsd fat driver aside from a commented out part in the mpeg library. He seems to have set it up to compile in the really old FAT driver, actually looks identical to the moonshell 06 release. It wouldnt be a problem to patch the files, but honestly it wont change much from the way its working in 07p1 for SC SD users.

I guess I could just take the files that have changed in the mpeg area since 07 and compile them into 07, but really its not going to be much better until the FAT driver is coded properly in C instead of asm.

I got a question everyone:

(copied from another thread): I encoded an episode of FMA at 256x192, 12fps, 300 bitrate CBR. The audio is at 92 bitrate mono, and im wondering: when I watch the episode, movement looks pretty blurred. Is this because DPG is a format new to moonshell and needs time to fix everything up, or is there a way I can change the options around to fix it. I tried using the one other than CBR, and it seemed to skip.

encode it in 192x144 and it will have good speed ....

Well, after a closer look at the code, I decide why the heck not, its only a matter of patching over a couple lines and copying a few files. The official build does not build in the SCSD/M3 drivers as far as I can tell, although there may be something in the once again unincluded main makefile.

I played MP3's fine, I had another look at lost and it doesnt crack quite as much (but this could be my imagination), OGG is busted in this release (there is a problem with the stream, I will look into it and see if I can fix it, although I'd wrather work on the driver so that sound doenst have to be streamed differently - OGGs just plain rock - heh, if you put rock in 'em I guess)

See for yourselves, nothing really has changed (and trust me when I say I was careful of which files were patched and what I was patching, as always):

thanks to RatX the files are up again!
ready to run binary for SCSD:

files to patch the official package with (not source patches, binary ones):

If anyone wants the source toss me a PM with an email addy that can handle 3+MB

As for explaining how to compile it, there is not enough time in a day to learn how to teach compilers and coding. If you have an error I can try and help, but beyond that there is just too much to explain.

Thanks cory! Much appreciated!

How to make your own skins? I saved a bmp at 256*192 and overwrote all bmps in the pack with my bmp but i only get the "moon"-skin, which i thought i overwrote.

[McScruff]

is there a way to disable the sholder buttons? , when i have it in my pocket i keep jumping tracks

EDIT: I have doen it, you just edit the globel.ini from the Full Zip and remake it.

[cory1492]

Phythagoras: are you running the makeSCSD.bat again after doing modifications? (it will re-implant the IMFS where the sound/skin/settings are stored as well as add the loader)

[skydra]

could someone post new download mirrors, i cant download frome the ones cory left

Thanks Cory for your SD compile.
Works great.
I'm amazed at the progress this app is making, from just playing mp3 to playing full video.
I threw on the radiers of the lost ark dpg thats during the rounds on various forums,very impressive.
Mr moonshell is a v talented/productive coder.
Time to get a bigger SD card methinks

This video has subtitles which are unreadable at that resolution.  Is there any other solutions?

as my test 192*144 is the best
if you choose higher resolution, the video you played will laggy

help!! i've flashed my DS and now moonshell v0.8 don't work... :cry:

[Siris101]

I looked around a bit but couldn't find a solid answer to this.

I am encoding 24 minute episodes of a show at 240x176, VBR Quality 50, Minimum Bitrate 100, Maximum 300.  When I use the DPG encoder to do this, it outputs a 2 and a half minute long DPG file.  Why is this?  Also, when I use some other encoding methods it outputs the file at about 21 minutes, but still cuts off the last 3?  I have got to be doing something wrong.

Edit: Actually, I may have found out why.  On another forum I read the DPG encoder may have problems with VBR mpegs, so they said to try CBR encoding.  Don't know if this will help anyone else, but I'm posting it anyway for newbies like myself.
