There is a newer version of GBA ExpLoader that is combined with moonshell.
Here is how you use it.
This is NOT NEEDED for certain flash carts. The CycloDS, Acekard, M3 Real, Edge, and EZFlashV don't need this, only if you need it for Rumble or RAM. For Rumble or RAM, don't use Moonshell, skip that part into v0.57/8.
GBA-NDS linking is possible when you flash it to the NOR in the second part of the topic.Here is where GBA ExpLoader updated, if there are any new updates that I have not yet posted, PM me.PM me if you have got this working PLEASE!Confirmed working:
Moonshell Version:
mikeac (Acekard 2i + EZ Flash 3in1)
GBA ExpLoader .57:
mikeac
GBA ExpLoader .58b:
none yet
GBA ExpLoader .58X:
none yet
Requirements:
Flashcart/Linker compatible with GBA ExpLoader
(ie. Any Homebrew compatible, Slot-2 compatible card.)
Supported Slot 2 device (ie. EZFlash 3in1, eWin2in1, M3 Perfect, maybe SuperCard, etc.)
Moonshell 2.05
GBA Roms in your Flashcart
NO DSI!!!!
Click Moonshell and GBA Exploder to download them. Click GBA roms to look at a list of roms to download.NOTE: This is mainly for the EZ-Flash. Based on what Slot-2 card you use, you may not have Rumble or RAM capability. I haven't used mine for about a month, so tell me how good my instructions are. The reason for that is that... I lost it. I will add pics to the how to download and insert moonshell and GBA ExpLoader, but not the use of GBA Exploader, in this topic. Also note that the Moonshell and v0.58 versions are buggy.PART 1
Step 1) Download and Extract the new GBA Exploader and Moonshell through the above links.
Step 2) Setup Moonshell for your card
[color=blue]A highly edited quote:
Now move the moonshl2, moonshl2.nds, and LanguageSelect.exe files shown in the picture INTO the MicroSD card. Double-click the LanguageSelect.exe for Moonshell and select your Language (NOT 000 ENG)(or else it'll show you gobbly-gook, the technical term for crap you can't understand). Now you may delete the executable, or keep it on there. Keep it if you wanna change the language occasionally.
Step 3) Copy the two files out of the GBA Exploader folder and place it in _root_:/moonshl2/extlink/
Step 4) Now, start up you flashcart with your slot-2 card in it, select moonshl2.nds, and check to see if you can select and load .gba games, then go to step 4-6 in part 2.
If you can't, this version GBA Exploader is not compatible with either of your cards. You can go to the classic GBA ExpLoader, which is explained in PART 2. If you don't want to do that, you can load GBA ExpLoader manually, in the next step.
Step 5) ~~WORKAROUND~~ Okay, in MOONSHELL, go to moonshl2, extlink, and GBA ExpLoader. You must have your Slot-2 Card ready. Then, follow steps 4-6 of part two.

PART 2
OKAY. Sorry... no pics for this part, might upload later. Here is the 0.57 GBA ExpLoader and 0.58 Beta - some saving issues and 0.58X with iTouch/M3 Real compatibility - saving issues. Click the version number to download it.
Step 1) Download and extract one of the above ExpLoaders.
Step 2) Put it in your flashcart in the root of the card.
Step 3) With the both flashcarts in your DS, start it up, and go to the GBA Exploader file.
Step 4) Press R/L to go to the PSRAM section. select your .gba game up to 16 MB using the on screen instructions to flash it to the PSRam and boot it up, but the data does not stay after turning your DS off.
Step 4a) ~In place of Step 4~ Press R/L to go to the NOR section, then select the game, and instead you will flash it to the NOR, which supports up to 32MB games. Takes longer, but the game will be playable after shutdown.
Step 5) To use Rumble, press R until you get to the Rumble menu, and select what level of rumble you want. High is uncomfortable, Medium is good, and Low is... low. This is homebrew compatible.
Step 6) To use RAM, go to the rumble screen, enable Expansion RAM, and then start up whatever game you want(ie. NDS Browser, Quake 1/2, vMac, SNEmulDS, etc).Moonshell is also a media player. For a readme, click here and select your language next to Online Manuals. Note, that if it says commercial NDS games not supported, then you have an older readme. If you need any help, post here or PM me.UPDATE: Fixed and added links.
UPDATE: Pics, minor updates.
