Is there a program to run MP3 and Movies in DS quality (not GBA quality) ?

I highly recommend it. Didn't use it much at first, but now I'm using it for almost everything! (Reading comic books, listening to music, watching videos, reading, listening to audio books...)

isnt moonshell complicated?

and doesnt it only work on CF cards?

if using moonshell is too complicated for you, i would suggest giving up.

and no, it also works on SD cards, or on flash carts

there's a ton of files in the zip...

of course I'll have issues lmao

do I just run create_M3SC?

#67727 - Mr. Picklesworth - Fri Jan 20, 2006 1:23 am

Yep, that's all :)

If you want, you can go into files\.shell and change global.ini, startup.mp3 or desktop.bmp (read readme first, though).

Ok , I'll try out atleast getting it started then

#67729 - Mr. Picklesworth - Fri Jan 20, 2006 1:29 am

Those files in the root dir are mostly readmes, btw. Everything else is used by create_M3SC or whatever you use.

Readme should give you some useful information.

does Moonshell play movies or would I have to revert to the GBA movie player software?

#67980 - JaJa - Sat Jan 21, 2006 9:41 pm

Moonshell plays movies in DPG format.
There is an encoder supplied in the zip.
It is an mpeg1 video stream with Wav GSM encoded audio.

I couldnt get my video to play as it said it was "unsupported file extension"

note I have to use the SuperCard SD version (which the site says is 0.6 , but shows up as 0.4 in the actual program)
