I have an Acekard 2.1 and whenever I try to run Moonshell 2 I get an error about extension memory not being found. I have tried Beta's and the latest Stable Version. My AKAIO is fully updated along with my Loaders. I have tried running the Panasonic SD formatter then I redownloaded Moonshell 2 Stable and then the latest AKAIO and loaders again but I still get an error. The Moonshell folder is the root of my card and Moonshell2.nds in the root as well. Here is exactly what happens.

Backup files, format, then restore the files. That is how you properly defrag a flash device.

Never use a defragging program.

I'm having this problem also. I have a couple questions:
Does the .nds file have to be in the root?
Do you defrag or not? (I would be using the Window built-in one)

If you understand what defragging does, then you'll understand why you shouldn't do it on a flash-based card like SD or a USB thumb drive. Defragging simply moves files around on the card so that they're not broken up into little pieces, and this is accomplished by copying and moving tons of files multiple times. You can achieve the exact same thing by copying everything off, doing a full reformat, then copying everything back on. Since you're copying to a blank card, your files will not be split up at all, so once you're done it will have been fully defragmented better than what the defrag program would have been able to do.

I know in the moonshl2.ini folder you can disable the checkdisk function and that lets me into it, haven't explored farther yet. Adding to this as this has been my only source of help when working on this lol, will add more later if needed

No. Never, ever do this unless you just like buying SD cards. SD cards have a limited amount of writes on every sector, and that's what a defrag program does. It shuffles the files around until they're in larger, congregated chunks. This is fine for magnetic media, and it actually improves the life of those drives since it has to spin less in order to read an entire file. But you're basically killing your SD card by using a defrag program on them.
