If you want a fast way, just copy akmenu4.nds (if you are using an AKRPG) or decrypt and copy _ds_menu.dat (if you are using an R4) over to the resetmse folder, rename them to how Moonshell2 asks, RPGS.nds for AKRPG and R4TF.nds for R4 and then you are done.
(Currently just woke up, so I can't really think of any of the other ways at the moment xD).

I have an R6 card have not really looked for updates till recently because NDS files just where not able to be played.. anyway i can get my card to boot to the MoonShl2.10 and i can run most files. I am not able to get the NDS files to run with the update tho. NDS files that where able to run on the 1.7 install are having difficulty with the 2.10 .. any assistance on getting these type of files to run so my daughter can enjoy her ds again?..

Well, I know absolutely nothing about the R6 cart, but for loading .nds files that are larger than most homebrew ones, you need an external loader like ysmenu set up. You could try putting ysmenu on your flashcart and see if that works...but if it doesn't, there isn't really an alternative that I can think of.

actually i was working getting ysmenu to work on the cart but after farther investigation i have found that having just the moonshl2.10 and the ysmenu does not cut it. I finally found the manf. of the R6cart that i am using got their updated files also they got moonshl2.1 integrated into their file system. But still not all of the games work.. ah well must be some funky stuff that they did with it to hex the manual install of such things.. well thanks for your time, i will keep tinkering with it and hopefully come to a resolution.

For some strange reason, my moonshell2 is not able to play every mp3 file I have. It freezes and tells me to refer to logbuff.txt. I don't know what I should do. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Is there a way to skin the Text Reader background? I would like to use a dark background and white text, instead of the default white background and black text.

It's possible to change both, but if you change the text color to a bright color, there is no guarantee that the text will be easy to read. To change the background, you need to create a new skin, so you can just go over to the original download and there should be a skinning tool along with the default theme. Just change the text background image there and edit the colortbl.ini to change the color of the text.

I have an issue with Moonshell 2.1 (using 3DS and Acekard 2i) in which

1) I'll install it from Windows onto the memory card
2) Run it from the 3DS - everything ok
3) Later I'll run it again (turned off the 3DS in between) and Moonshell will report an error, show a new UI with two tabs at the top. The default screen at this point is "file not found". I am not sure what file it's referring it. I've tried to puase the process by pressing right shoulder, but I can't tell what the issue is.
4) if i press B I can use the typical file view UI, and I can play music and videos, so I'm not sure what effect the error creates.

If I redo step 1, the process follows exactly as before, (after install OK, after rebooting or using a few times, error) which leads me to believe that something I am doing is deleting or creating a file error. Anyone else seen this problem?

lulz that isn't an error. It's a screen that is toggled on by default. It's known as the "Recent Apps" screen most of the time, and like the title says, it should show the latest .nds files/extlinks that you used (supposing you used any at all) so you can quickly get to them (you can consider it something like a "favorites" screen). To turn it off, just go into the GUI/Audio settings and there should an option for that somewhere.

Please!

Someone can explain me the difference between the two options for L/R limitations: "relational panel" and "always on"?

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
