DS Misc > Moonshell that mounts from DLDI and GBAMP at the same time?

#134717 - calcprogrammer1 - Mon Jul 16, 2007 4:19 am

Is it possible to have any program access the Filesystem on both a DLDI device (like a Games n' Music or any other slot-1) and a GBAMP at the same time? The GBAMP has better read speeds and is better for movies, but I only want to insert it when I need it. It would be nice if there were a version of MoonShell that could access both slots, for music on the microSD (slot-1) and movies on the slot-2 (GBAMP CF). Not sure if it's possible, or if it'd ever be implemented in MoonShell, but it's an idea.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

From what I remember, a program can access both slot-1 and slot-2 provided that the slot-2 device is already supported under the pre-DLDI libfat, which would include the GBAMP. I don't think Moonshell supports this however, as it only accesses one device at a time.

However, would it work if you simply placed two copies of the Moonshell.nds file on your microSD card, patching each one with a different DLDI file? In theory, this would let you launch Moonshell from the GnM and have it access just the GBAMP CF card, but I cannot test this myself.
