There is a problem when i watch movies(in fullscreen) on tochscreen.

Then i have no backlight....

plz help

Cool :)

mntorankusu said in the previous thread that Moonshell crashes when zooming out with 2 screen images in the new version, though, so I guess I'm stuck with the old one for now.

The dual screen image viewing is fantastic for reading comics / pdfs turned to images. Some are even readable at 50% zoom!

It still crashes for me when viewing any JPEG, even in single-screen mode. Still, yay. BMPs, GIFs and PNGs all work fine in 2-screen mode, but I can only zoom to 50% or 100% (I guess that's what limited expansion means?).

BTW, the readme does say that 2-screen mode is unstable.

What does install create? Does it edit the registry?

It just copies the required files to your memory card. Beware that it'll overwrite your global.ini settings (not skin.ini though), and your background image if you don't uncheck it.

JPEGs work fine for me in single screen mode. Though every once in a while, a file comes along that crashes it.

I didn't notice before since most of my images are JPEG, but it is only JPEGs that crash double screen mode when I zoom out. PNG works fine.

1.3 final beta 2 is out.

I have updated the readme file to include all the global.ini values.

Wow! That is so cool!

Doesn't anyone really like to translate the Readme file to their own language? Where are you people?

I'm really loving all the new features he's adding, but I wish he would just FIX THE TEXT BROWSER already. I don't get why he's adding all these new features before fixing what's already there. It's pretty much unusable in the state it's in now. DSOrganize formats it properly, I don't see why Moonshell can't. Adding a bookmark feature to the text browser wouldn't be a bad idea either.

YES! It's really not that hard to fix, if I get bored I might just try myself. Maybe he just doesn't realize it's a problem? With Japanese it's probably still readable that way. [Edit: Except that it cuts off wide characters near the edge, just as it does in the file browser. Same bug I'll bet.]

As for translations, I'd do it but I only speak one language, which this post is written in. I'm slowly teaching myself Japanese but that doesn't help much in this case.

And no more 404s! :-)

Ooh, some nice changes here. Clock plugin config in global.ini, change the date order, and some sort of "developer tool" option in the setup app... not sure what that does.

It's still crashing with JPEGs though. :-( I see a few instances of "extmem:unknown cartridge type" and "FAT_fopen error" in the debug log at startup. Maybe when he added support to the JPEG plugin to use M3 memory he broke GBAMP.

Hm, also, selecting //EXFS or //GBFS by accident freezes the system instead of saying media not found.

BTW, what's that "auto start" option for Startup Sound do? It just seems to disable the startup sound.

I asked about it once when he was still posting here, and he said that he couldn't do it because he only knows japanese, and it doesn't make a difference in that language.

I guess that's feasible. Japanese characters are generally wider than English characters so maybe that cutoff bug doesn't happen. (Does it use a fixed-width font for Japanese? It shows up as question marks for me even though I selected Unicode in setup.) I thought the source code was available, but I can't seem to find it.

Also I replaced the JPEG plugins with the ones from V1.21+6 and it works, even in double screen mode. It freezes when I zoom out in dual-screen mode though. However one image, which I could swear worked before, shows errors about progressive JPEGs not being supported.

Hey, did anyone notice it shows info for .msp files now when you open them? It treats them as sound files though. O_o Also when I tried to add my own startup.mp3 in place of the existing one it says it can't find it. Maybe because it's 5MB? (I was hoping it'd keep playing while doing other things, heh.)

Anyone know if he's still getting 403d here?

Last time I tried it, Shift-JIS worked for Japanese languange support in MoonShell.

I think Japanese fonts in general are fixed-width. That might be why the character cutoff bug exists in the first place.

I think startup sound files have to fit into RAM. Not sure though.

MoonLight has mentioned things that were posted here on GBAdev in his blog recently.

I was pretty surprised, when i saw yours so called "translation", which is in fact rip-off of my work (and Zubiac's too). You took all config file options descriptions made by me, and then just deleted our names from readme file. "Nice" work, Xtreme!

Probably. I tried a 60K one and it worked fine. It was also long enough for me to discover, unfortunately, that even the startup sound stops playing if you open a text file, image, etc.

Well it would seem he is listening and is now aware of the problem with the text viewer. Hopefully he can get it fixed :)

I feel the problem that the capital letter has overflowed...?

Incidently,

The width of the character overflows. The character lacks, and is skipped. Do those bugs exist still?
When the file name or the text file, etc. that can reproduce the bug are posted, I am glad.

I cannot yet access gbadev.
It is possible to read occasionally by making good use of the tunnel of the proxy and the translation service.

hummm.... Are there any solutions?

When is going to return the G6 support?

So much is changed. Have you even compared that very very old readme and the latest? I keeped names very long, but I felt that there is no need to keep them anymore when the interface and contents has changed so much. It's absolutely not a rip off.

Old habit was:

Quote:

English ReadMe by zubiac, Finnish ReadMe by Xtreme, Russian ReadMe by Kir

Now it's one name per language file. Otherwise you will need to edit all the lang files when one new file is added (doh!).

Now it's for example:
readme(spanish).txt

All that that team says when I ask is that they are busy at the moment. Maybe that is a few man company or they are really making something secret. I have requated many times for updated G6 I/O without luck. So I have no idea.

I have tested the latest release with different kind of movie clips and I had no backlight problems. So I can not confirm that.

If you want I can translate the readme from English to Italian, is it ok ^_^ ?
how I send you back the translated readme? Let me know!

PS: I really likee moonshell and I really thank the author for all the work he has done for us ds users. I do hope he'll still be supporting the program, but I heartly thank him in any case!

EDIT: I forgot to ask, the encoding tools were updated too or they're still the same as in moonshell v1?

Cool, please do so. I believe there are many Italians who would need that.
Encoding tools are the same. It's Version 1.0.
Save the file as Unicode.
I removed the submit address from the first post by mistake, sorry. Here it is: submit_translation[at]sci.fi
Please ZIP it before sending.

Plugins! :-p

BTW I was thinking last night. If Moonshell can run the clock plugin at the same time as the text/image/etc plugin, why can't it run any other two at the same time?

I'm a PSP hacker now, but I still <3 DS.

I hope I don't sound too n00b with my questions but I was wondering how to get this latest version of MoonShell on my Datel 4gb hd. It came with 1.1 (I believe) and I'm trying really hard to upgrade, but so far I just get an error screen every time I try to run the new version. Here's a photo showing what I get when I run what I *THINK* is the correct file. The EXFS part puzzles me because I specifically didn't select that option during setup.

The readme for moonshell doesnt give instructions for this particular media storage (it's not SD or CF, so I have no idea what option to pick when running setup.exe!)

Also, are there any programs that will convert itunes .m4v video files (like TV episodes) to .dpg format? DPGtools doesn't seem to want to do it.

If it isn't obvious, I'm very new to this GBA/DS modding/homebrew stuff and I could really use some help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Did you try CF? I think it just works like one.

BTW I looked a bit further and not only did I find the source code but also this quote:

So apparently he's still blocked for some reason, and just reading through proxies.

:) cool. Are you still going to see if you can fix the text browser?

Hi, I was wondering what the level of compatibility/stability is for Moonshell 1.3 on the M3 SD?

I heard over the web on a host of sites saying that moonshell is only partially working... but not very specific as to what that means. I'm debating whether or not to go with CF or SD at the moment, and if mp3 playback is screwing with the SD then I'll definitely just get the CF, regardless of its size. I'm just holding out hope that the SD m3 does support mp3 playback and Bleach _on the_ DS :)

Well I hope Bleach DS refers to playing Bleach episodes in Moonshell. No piracy talk allowed here.

Hm, I can't get dpgenc.exe to work. No matter what settings I use or what file I try it says it can't detect the total play time.

::laughs:: My apologies on the confusion there then. Yeah, I missed the "on"... I should be getting to sleep anyway. I'll edit it, and thanks for the reminder.

Heh, I watch a lot of anime on the DS (it's the only stuff I can get to encode and still be watchable (also my parents stare at me a lot if i mention anime let alone watch it, I think it's all the large racked babes with tight tops image that anime has attracted)).

Yeah, but not until at least the 29th. Too busy until then.

I wonder if DPGEnc not working is because I deleted Windows Media? But other players still play things fine, and I'm just using simple .avis that even show up in Explorer's previews without WMP being there.

if so, would the icons be movable like on a desktop.

Well, good news. Moonlight is trying to fix the bug where text gets cut off at the edge. I've been working with him, exchanging testcases and screenshots. (The Google translator actually works pretty well if you use good grammar and write formally.) So far I've determined that the bug doesn't seem to occurr if you use the "ank only" memory package, which uses a skinnier font. However, it still doesn't do actual word wrap (lines still wrap halfway through a word, but characters don't go missing from the end). This is a different problem, and apparently he has trouble with it, probably because he doesn't speak English to be able to tell if it's correct.

I'll let the words talk for themselves:(

Does that mean he's washed his hands of Moonshell now? A shame. :(

But thank you Moonlight for your wonderful support and program. Without your dedication, Moonshell would not be the wonderful program it is today.

To whoever wants to work on a patch for MoonShell's text reader, here's how to implement simple word break for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Japanese scripts.

In the scanning loop:
When it sees a newline character ('\r' or '\n'), it draws the line so far.
When it sees a space character (' ' or '\t'), it stores its position in a variable called lastSpace.
When it sees a hiragana followed by a kanji or katakana, it stores the hiragana's position in lastSpace. (This will break Japanese words after their case endings.)
When it has enough characters to fill the line, it draws everything up to lastSpace unless there wasn't a space in this line, in which case it draws all the characters in the line so far.

I think he's just saying that unless some bugs are found he's done with it for now...remember, he said that before but eventually he started working on it again. He's added a lot of new features, he definitely deserves a long break. :) MoonShell seems quite stable anyway at this moment and it has about any feature I can think of.

well, the only big thing missing is file ultilities (Copy, Rename, Create Folder, Delete). Oh, and something that says how much space is left on your compact flash.

DS Organiser does most of that, however, so nothing is really needed.

I don't feel like running Setup every time I want to try a clock plugin...

I have been in contact with G6/M3 team. They said they have provided information for Moonligh to support M3 adapters and will provide information to support G6 later (I have no idea what that means, weeks, months?).

Maybe later support for NINJADS also if wilcd gives the information of their adapter.

Good hopes for future releases. :-)

:( Still getting the text problems with the new version. In fact, it seems worse :P

Same here, Madrigal.
Seems a bit strange...
Couldn't Moonlight pull the text viewer out to being a regular plugin so that other people can more easily work on it?

Is it possible to customize the real time clock so that it doesn't display seconds or the date?

I'm running on a skin which happens to waste a lot of room, and the clock plugin doesn't fit in perfectly.
(Vista Desert 2.0... slightly modified).

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Maybe the guy that makes DSOrganize would be willing to give him some pointers, as his text viewer works perfectly.

Wasn't a lot of the stuff in DSOrganize based on MoonShell in the first place? I recall him planning to modify MoonShell once it reached v1.0, so maybe that's what DSOrganize sort of is at its heart (although it is quite its own entity)?

You can replace the touch screen's background and the background behind the file list. Shrinking your PC's desktop background to 256x192 pixels and using that will make it seem more consistent.

Haha. Neat.

Too bad I already went through the trouble of making a custom one the hard way.

Hmmm...

There is anytime the problem with backlight by moviefiles.

I just accidentally pressed 'A' on an NDS file in MoonShell, while using my M3 CF...and MoonShell actually launched it. O_o Successfully. When did any M3 NDS launching support happen? Compatibility seems spotty right now (though it could be that just NDS files with launchers work, haven't tested this theory yet), that's probably why nothing has been said about it.

Anyway, that's rather cool. Seems to load it into M3's RAM then execute it as you would think. HexenDS actually started up, though it died after initial loading, heh. Still, cool. :)

Isn't this referring to the M3 version of MoonShell in the setup (that you can launch with A rather than Start from the M3's menu) or is the wording just weird? I'm talking about launching an NDS FROM MoonShell running on the M3 CF. I thought MoonShell only had support for this on the GBAMP and the Supercard.

Either way, I'm suprised I hadn't seen any mention of it. :P

Hello,

I have a big problem. I try to get a new Verison of Monshell on my 4GH HD with the Max Mediaplayer. But it dont work. There is an older Version preinstalled but when I download the new 1.3 Version and copy the files on my DS it doesn't work.

My steps, how I tried to install Moonshell:

1. Run setup.exe
2. Setup target drive: I:\fixed-HDD [Datel-Max]
3. Everything is checked
4. I pressed the Setup button
5. the program copied all files to my HD
6. run the Boot_me.nds (something like that ;-) )
Now there comes that screen:

----------------
boot Moonshell
Version 1.3 by Moonlight.
May 23 2006 21:20:55 GMT+09:00

ITCM0x2084a84,0x0,0x1360

Init FileSystem.
FileMaxCount=256
not founf EXFS.
chkNMC/chkM3CF/chkMPCF/chkSCCF/chkM3SD/chKSCSD/pass.

-----------

and that's it. Nothing happens.

What's with the error message:

not founf EXFS.
chkNMC/chkM3CF/chkMPCF/chkSCCF/chkM3SD/chKSCSD/pass.

Anyone who understand that?!

Greets Micha

It sounds like you're not using the latest version. Max Media support was only added in 1.3 Beta2. You can get 1.3 Beta3 here: http://mdxonline.dyndns.org/archives/2006/06/moonshell_ver13_13.html

In this version, there should be an option in the Setup, under "ROM Image" to use Max Media. The resulting file should be called "_BOOT_MP_MMCF.nds." You can uncheck the rest of the "ROM image" boxes.

When i play an MP3 i get an error msg in the lower screen. It says 'ID3TAGv1 not found' - the mp3 still plays but i just wondered is this meant to happen (it didnt in older versions) & how do if fix it?

I am using the newest build of MoonShell and Supercard with Flashme.

BTW is there any way to increase the sound on movies? - they seem really quiet.

Many thanks

DPG playback still gets a steady, unavoidable decline in frame rate.
I'm converting a video to run at 15 frames / second from 25. It takes about 30 minutes before the unsyncronization is noticeable.
The problem may be DPGenc, since the audio is always unsynchonized even if I skip ahead in the video, but I have tried numerous configurations to no avail.

Has anyone else had trouble with audio desync in big videos and found a better way to change the frame rate without killing it?
(And does anyone else find it irritating how hard it is to keep audio and video in line with these things?)

That just means there's no information about the song embedded in the file. If there were, it would show up there.

Lol, text viewer still isn't fixed. If anyone is in contact with Moonlight, point him to DSOrganize. I'm not a programmer and know nothing about progamming, but I assume it would be something as simple as copying th values SDOrganize uses. I know I keep going on and on about the text viewer, but I would actually use it a lot if it worked.

DSOrganize is proprietary software. Do you expect Moonlight to disassemble it?

This is'nt exactly what i meant - when i use moonshell to watch movie's with the volume on both the DS and moonshell at 100% i still find it hard to hear (I am on a train) is there anything in the global.ini that can be changed so that the volume at 100% is louder than it currently is? I have also noticed while listening to MP3 that at 100% volume the MP3's distort (a lot) this never used to happen the MP3 support seemsed really good before...any suggestions?

I've been away from this for a few months. Has something to do with getting married a few months back.

Anyways, I downloaded the new moonshell and all I see is a Setup.exe file.

Is there some procedure for us windows free people to get & install moonshell nowadays?

Run the EXE - if you are using a CF or SD card be sure to have it connected to your PC. The 1st thing it will ask is what media you are using use the drop down box to selct the drive that is your CF or SD media , click ok and then ok again. Moonshell will then be copied to your media.

Sound volume in moonshell goes up to 400%.
The initial volume is adjustable under global.ini

Before converting the movie, try using level compression on the audio in VirtualDub. This will make the quiet parts louder, allowing you to keep everything at similar volume levels. For instance, a compressor set at 2:1 will map parts that are -30 dB, -20 dB, and -10 dB to -15 dB, -10 dB, and -5 dB respectively. The same thing works for classical music; I use a 2:1 compressor with a cutoff around -48 dB on my Grieg and Beethoven CDs.

As for popular music such as the YTMND soundtrack, I run amplify, limiter, and soft saturation effects until Replay Gain reports a value of -6 dB.

That works great if I had a windows box anywhere close by...

Wel, i dont no what to say. I have no idea if the app works on Linux or Mac OS, sorry :(

Not sure if everyone knows this but...

With NDS Lite, the LCD is MUCH brighter if you modify the global.ini and set the LCD brightness to 3 instead of Auto mode.

I got a huge kick out of it when I found this out myself. hehehe.
(I guess it's documented somewhere but haven't found it yet..)

I found out that videos played by M3 Extended function (in last firmware e.21) run much better than on moonshell (they are smoother and with they dont lose sync)

Note for a possible fix needed (still) in the MoonShell MP3 support. It still can't play MP3s with embedded track art. It plays noise and such instead. I can give any examples needed to fix this, but its a pain going back through all my music stripping out album art. Just a request I guess :)

----

I've just been playing with DSM stuff, it seems to be the same as DPG - I suspect they're using the same method as Batch DPG to get better videos. The smoothness is a trick - I think they turned off the dithering, so it skips to keep in sync - you dont notice as much unless there is a *lot* of action. The example videos I've seen use very little motion.

I just let you know that MoonShell v1.31 is out. :-)

Nice! The setup program has really been improved, and the global.ini has more detailed and easy to read explainations. In the app itself, I don't see much changed. Random startup sound still just makes no sound at all; are the files supposed to be in \SHELL? Anyway I do notice one cool feature: When the backlight goes off, it dims the power LED! If you look close you can see it's flickering on and off really fast, just like how FlashMe dims the backlight. I was gonna try that and see if it worked, I guess this answers my question. :-p

Oi, I just closed a window with the X in the corner, and it closed the date/time window too! Looks like it responds to being clicked in the corner, and closes, even though it doesn't have a close button.

JPEG viewing is much improved, but with a few problems. It's far faster and the images almost look a bit clearer than usual. (Looks great at 50% especially.) When viewing large images it doesn't mess up when seeking through the file. Unfortunately it has to seek through them a lot more. A 640x779 image requires quite a bit of seeking, when it wouldn't have on older versions. (Only HUGE images needed to before.) Seems like if you just move around the image to get it all on the screen, it loads all into memory and won't have to seek anymore (except with HUGE images), so I wonder why it doesn't just load them into memory right from the start?

The only other problem I see is the lack of support for progressive JPEGs. That isn't a signifigant problem, but when it shows the error message, you can't use L or R; you have to find the next image manually in the file list. (Plus, these images showed up fine in older versions. O_o)

BTW, other formats such as GIF and PNG also load faster and look better.

[edit] Hah, the power LED doesn't just dim, it fades in and out. Awesome.

but what about file icons? lol...

since he included a thumbnail for images...
why not make one for file extention types?...
it would be very interesting to see moonshell with file icons :D...

(aslo how about a shoutcast listener again :D, just a small text file with url that launches a shoutcast plugin ;))

You have to run a program on your computer (CreateThumbnail.exe) to make a thumbnail file for the folder.

You have to run a program on your computer (CreateThumbnail.exe) to make a thumbnail file for the folder.

How do I make the CreateThumbnail.exe file? Hmm.. And hmm.. I wanna know if there's a way to make moonshell reboot back to Supercard by pressing the keys A+B+X+Y+L+R.. Cos I really hate to switch on and off my ds everytime.. Thanx for your help..

And is it just put the CreateThumbnail.exe file into the folder I want den okie already?

run createthumbnail.
choose any single picture in a folder.

it will create thumbnails for all pictures.

copy folder to SC.
There is no way yet to reboot from moonshell without poweroff.

Okie.. Found the createthumbnail.exe already..
There's a createthumbnail.ini.. Do I need to add it into supercard?
And everytime I add a new picture I have to rerun the createthumbnail.exe again?
And hmm.. can .dpg files have thumbnails?

why is it that you can fast foward quickly on a dpg movie, but it takes forever to rewind?

Can this be corrected?

It's because it can really only seek forward. Meaning, if you want to seek backwards, it has to go from the beginning of the file to the point you seek to.

It probably has something to do with the way the FAT file system is read from, but I don't really know.

I updated the MoonShell v1.3 Full Package.

Now it has FULL G6 Flash cart support. :)

Hello Xtreme,

Can you please help me?
I have tryed the new moonshell,
i do exactly what i have to do
- i run the G6_Setup.cmd
- copy the shell and MSHL13.nds to my g6
and when i start it i get this screen:
http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=afbeelding0086bt.jpg

what is wrong?
i think it's just my flashcard
because the new moonshell for g6 on the g6-website dousn't work either.

only the first moonshell for g6 ever (with only mp3)
did work.. after that it never worked again.

i CAN use EXFS but then i have to make a difirent file for each 30 mb.

greets Stefan Vermunt

When my battery starts getting low Moonshell makes my LED flash between Red/Green making it look orange. Is this normal?

It happens even with some official games on the GBA, so I'd guess it's normal.

Okay, I just now started using version 1.31 and I have a question. Does anyone else get audio dropouts or hiccups every few seconds while playing MP3 files? Granted, I haven't spent much time with it yet and only tested the Supercard version with my SCSD, but I'm getting very noticable dropouts now where it used to be perfectly clear before. I know it's not a problem with my audio files as they play fine in DSOrganize. Has anyone else experienced this too? Thanks.

It sounds alright to me. Maybe your SD card is too slow.

Also, red/green alternating power LED is normal when your battery gets just weak enough to go red, especially when sounds are playing. It will switch between colours as the power consumption goes up and down, until it gets weak enough that it just stays red.

Same 66X card I've been using for a long while and it didn't exhibit this behavior playing the same songs in DSOrganize. I highly doubt it's too slow.

The last few versions I've tried with my SC seem rather flakey for some reason. It was either v1.21 or v1.31b that I used last and it seemed to have some issues running homebrew apps. Then again, I was using a GBAMPv2 for a long time before I got the SCSD, so maybe I'm still having teething troubles with the SCSD. It just seems like older versions like v1.0 and v1.1 were more stable for some reason. Maybe I should just drop back to one of those.

Minor thing that moonshell should have for the next version;

*.kar file support.

These are exactly the same as midis, only with lyrics.
Renameing them to mid, and they work the same.

Having to rename them every time is a bit of a pain, so moonshell should just interpret the extension the same.

Aaaaaand the text plugin is still broken :P

I also have sound problems with SuperCard :(
It pops every few seconds and the sound quality reduced a lot...
I've switched back to 1.31 beta3.

Makes me wonder if it has anything to do with the SC version using the SC's onboard memory? I've heard before that it's slow. Could this be a factor? I wouldn't think it would be slower than reading off the SD card directly, though. Maybe that's not it, then. Strange.

You could install the latest G6 loader. It's included with package:

I don't know if it makes any difference.. but I have that latest installed and MoonShell v1.3 is working with my G6 U-Disk.
After it's installed format your cart to FAT32 (with Windows explorer).

Did you just drag and drop the files there or did you use G6 U-DISK Manager?
Did you start the moonshell nds file with button "A" or with "START"?

So what does everyone think of ReinMoon? Looks like a cross between Rein and MoonShell...think Rein with an awesome GUI. 'based on Rein by SaTa, customized by Moonlight' as the console says.

It has a lot of potential coolness. :)

There must be something wrong with your cart. Have you used G6 recovery tools (I can't remember the specific name)?

but like the warning says,
its best if you use a media card that you don't have anything important on :P

It might be similar to MP3s clicking/popping on Supercards. A few of us have noticed this problem.

yepp, just use 1.31 beta3 instead of 1.31 final

I have a Supercard SD, and I haven't noticed any weird problems with 'v1.31 full' advertised on the front post.

Wahoo! :)

I too noticed that Moonshell 1.31 final gives glitchy playback on Supercard MiniSD, whereas 1.31beta3 seems fine.

What's a good video bitrate to set in BatchDPG to make the colours of encoded videos less noticeably blocky and seperated? I mucked around last night at around 280 and even though it was better than the default moonshell encoding tools, I still could see quite a bit of blocky/pixelated areas wherever scenes of high action and panning occurred (say the piano intro to Family Guy and quick panning/zooming in a WC06 soccer match).

Will experiment a bit more later tonight.

Movies, you don't, but for two screen picture viewing, go to Shell/global.ini on your memory card (that you have MoonShell installed to) and look for a section called '[ImagePlugin]'. Then change ImageMode to = 1.

Actually I'm noticing distortion and clipping in MP3s on my Lexar 128MB CF. It clips as if the volume were turned way up, even at only 100%, when the same files sounded fine at 150% before.

That's odd. Firstly because I thought the Supercard SD could only accomodate up to 1GB SD cards. Secondly because the generic SanDisk SD cards are some of the slower kind. So it doesn't seem like it's a speed issue of the cards, either. Although RiDATA is a lesser-known brand. Then again, it does it on my PNY SD card too.

So that leads me back to looking at the Supercard. Do you know what firmware you are using? I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest Kernel V1.62 on mine with FlashMe V7. I wonder if that might make a difference?

Awesome! Cheers :)

Version 1.32 is out.

Version 1.32 2006/07/01

The ARM7 code was rollbacked to 'Version 1.31 FinalBeta 3'.

I don't have a chance to test it until I'm home tomorrow, but I would assume this fixes the issues with MP3's skipping.

http://mdxonline.dyndns.org/archives/nds/

Yeah. I tried it out the other day, and the noise when playing DPGs on my Supercard is gone.

But the power light flashing is also back to normal! I really liked the way it faded in and out in the previous version. That way I could never look at my DS and think it was off.

1.32 works as 1.31 - choppy sound, still on 1.31 beta 3 (DS Phat/Firmware V5/SupercardSD/SD KingMax 2GB 150x)

How do you get your customized .msp clock to work?

I used the program "ClockPlugin_CustomKit" to create my own clock. I next placed it along with the .ini and .bin files in the "plugin" folder in the "shell folder"

How is the clock supposed to work? I thought that if you left moonshell idle long enough, it would show the clock as a sort of screensaver.

However, I am seeing nothing. Could anyone help?

Make sure you don't have the backlight timeout turned off in your global.ini.

Modify this entry in the global.ini:

Code:

[BacklightTimeout]

WhenStandby=5
WhenPicture=0
WhenText=0
WhenSound=5

The clock comes on when the backlights would normally be disabled from the timeout. When one of these values is set to zero, the clock will never come up in that situation, and the backlights will never go off.

Because the the Chinese Traditional font that build in Moonshell lost many fonts ,I made the new font file.

I have a genuine Supercard SD with Supercard kernel v1.62 and FlashMe v7 on a launch ordinary DS.

Perhaps somebody could write an app that benchmarks Supercard and flash media combination speeds at reading and writing?

how can we made the last version of moonshell or reinmoon working with g6 (lite) linker ?
i download for example moonshell 0.32 or reinmoon 0.3 but none would started.
i have for both a freeze after the FAT initialisation.

thank you

Download Moonshell src.
Run CreatProFont.exe.
You may need use hexeditor to change CreatProFont.exe some bit, or you can change the source code and rebuild it.

Who can tell me how to contect the Moonshell author?
I email to autolinkpost@moonlight.servehttp.com ,but he does not reply my mail.

Just adding my 2pence, for the first time today I booted moonshell on my magicflash 256M and wow, I love it already.

Though with limited flashcard space I can already place quite a few mp3's on here, and in the process of testing what my card will alow, still being a homebrew ds noob and all (only owned the ds for about 3 months now)

I look foward to watching shows on moonshell if they fit :D

Hey, I found two minor bugs.
1: Opening a zero-byte text file freezes Moonshell.
2: Files more than 2GB display a negative size. The file size should be unsigned.

but now we have to waiting for an "official" release of the g6 team on their wensite and we can't benefit of the last 1.33 for example.
so i don't undertsand that if someone can explain me.

That's nifty. Looks like DSOrganize, but better.

I was listening to music and watching the clock with all the particles bouncing around and the VU clock the other day and got to thinking about something. Does anyone know if the DS has enough horsepower to display a visualization of the waveform like an oscilliscope or spectrum analyzer while playing back? I know, it would probably be pushing it, but it seems like that would be the ideal thing to display on the other screen while music plays. Like the visualizations for Winamp and Windows Media Player. I know it couldn't be as advanced, but do you suppose it's possible?

DSOrganize displays an o-scope. An analyzer might be tough if you can't "cheat" and grab values straight from the transforms inside the MP2/MP3 codec.

before the 1.31 (in the 1.3 for example) we had a "G6_Setup.cmd" to build a g3 compatible moonshell
but now we have to waiting for an "official" release of the g6 team on their wensite and we can't benefit of the last 1.33 for example.
so i don't undertsand that if someone can explain me.

thank you

Sorry, but that G6_Setup.cmd is just a script that replaces the original _BOOT_MP.nds to the file that G6 dev team built. They have promised to pass the source code to Moonlight, but they seem to be too busy to do it. I'm not sure if it's because they don't feel it being important enough as they don't get any money directly of giving the source.. maybe only happy customers.
After Moonlight gets the source, G6 support will be integrated in to MoonShell and G6 will have wider homebrew support (as for now it doesn't have any).

I have a problem with the Setup.exe of MoonShell 1.33 and 1.31 :

windows are blank :S

[Images not permitted - Click here to view it]

Is it possible in a future version to swap the screens? I know you can have the file browser on the bottom but then it covers the background image and the other windows cover it, leaving the top screen nearly unused. It'd be nice to just press Select to switch screens, and have the 'desktop' on the top and file browser on the bottom.
Also, I noticed you can close the file browser and date/time bar, even when no close button appears. Is that supposed to happen?

Ideas, ideas, ideas...

MoonShell DPG playback:
- On-Screen [Elapsed time/Time left]
- Seek by entered time (easier to continue)
- Save pause-time-bookmark to memory (maybe SRAM could be used)
- Different seek (skip to time) options

- Possibility to lock window positions
- Write to disc/flash support

You can set them in skin.ini.

Ha, ha. :D
I meant live locking/unlocking, not permanent locking. I would like them to be unlockable while using MoonShell.

That could be available example for plug-ins, etc (I'm sure quite a lot plug-in's could be make that would use it).
Write support could be used for saving video pause stage (I'm not sure what it's called). Editing global.ini. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders.

Basically everything you can do in DSOrganize's browser. I would definately vote for being able to edit the global.ini file or have a configuration menu that modifies the values for you based on checkboxes and text boxes. Either way would work.

ok on the moonshell discription it says it plays dvm what does that mean? and how can i put vidios on it??

Found some more bugs.

-The thumbnail/preview of an image covers windows, but you can still touch them.
-You can close the date/time and file browser windows, even when they have no close button.
-The thumbnail creator doesn't support GIFs.
-Progressive JPEGs and 16-bit BMPs can't be displayed, but they can have thumbnails.

Dvm was the video format before DPG was released - it had a bad compression rate and so is no longer used.

Can't wait to get that in my hands.

MoonLight released a new version of dpgenc. He updated the GUI to support batch encoding and I really like the way he added the drag and drop support. It can now use DirectShow to encode the video (which BatchDPG does too, with the help of AviSynth), and this setting is selected by default. I was hoping so see more improvements, but I'm just glad it's still being updated at all. I kind of dislike the way all encodes are placed on the desktop, though.

Is it always going to force the track to stutter when I'm scrolling through the top screen directories?

so how does moonshell work with movies? I mean I just throw it in there and it reads or is there certain format support? or do I have to change it to a .nds or .gba executable?

With MoonShell, you use dpgenc or BatchDPG to convert anything that Windows Media Player can play into a .dpg file.
