Hello, a few days ago I got an R4 Dual Core card from r4isdhc.com, and I saw that the version of Moonshell was outdated, so I replaced it with the official 2.10 version, and made sure to copy DEMO.nds from R4's Moonshell to the new Moonshell's resetmse folder. I opened Moonshell and then selected return to firmware. In the old Moonshell it returns me to R4's main menu as expected, but in the new Moonshell it instead gives me a white screen. Is there a way to fix this. I've been looking at similar previous threads, but with no apparent solution.

If possible, why not move to Ysmenu? It's more updated and still developed.

Yeah, I was considering going for that (though that would mean not being able to use RTS), but then there's the matter about compatibility: With Sonic Colors, it freezes during cutscenes; but with the R4 kernel, the game runs fine without freezing problems. There's something in that old version of Moonshell that must have changed in the newest version that causes R4.dat (the file DEMO.nds redirects to) to not load properly. Something related to DLDI, maybe?

OK, after several attempts to make Moonshell's soft reset function properly, I decided to just replace it with YSMenu, and load Moonshell from there. Now I get to dual boot for the best of worlds, at least until that flashcard is no longer supported and the timebomb never bypassed, which is when I'll make the full move to YSmenu.
I really wish Wood got the same type of attention regarding flashcart compatibility, just like YSmenu is getting right now. Imagine Wood 1.62 on DSTT clones.
