Help to boot moonshell 2 on start up

bannockburn1314Fire ice will that let moonshell launch my games?.Right starting this guide again and just checking with you guys about this1) Extract the "moonshl2" directory and "moonshl2.nds" to the root of your flashcart. These are the only real required files to get MoonShell 2 to work. Of course, you can extract the others for more features.2) DLDI-patch moonshl2.nds with your corresponding flashcart's DLDI file.3) Extract the "nds.YSloaderForMS2.nds" and "config.ini" files from linoul's package to the /moonshl2/extlink folder. If you're using an alternate loader, extract only the "nds.-insertloadernamehere-.nds" file to the extlink folder unless told otherwise.4) From here, follow the specific instructions given for your flashcart. Also, please take note that this guide was created based on MoonShell 2.00 Beta 10. Therefore, whenever "moonshl2.nds" is mentioned for patching and/or renaming purposes, it is actually "moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds" that is being referred to.in part two this patching thing what I'm doing is just putting this tool AutoDLDIPatch in with part 1 and doing same here 2) Copy your R4-DLDI'd moonshl2.nds from the root of your card to the r4denc directory.
will this work or do i have to manually patch it and if i do how do i do itPost Merge: [time]1266187197[/time]
nah failed again got up to 15 this time moonshell tries to boot on start up but fails.Has anyone got this working any chance of getting the files from you?

For the moment you've got me confused so lets see if I get this straight:You've got a R4 and you've got the right firmwire (I presume) and you wanted Moonshell
I gave you the links to Moonshell and I understand you want to us Moonshell to start up your games.That is impossible Moonshell is a tool to play DPG files and mp3 on your DS
To start up up games you've got your firmwire or YSmenu.So that means you need this in your micro SD card to work properlyR4firmwire (to play games etc.)
YS menu (for games with AP that needs to be patched)
Moonshell (to play mp3 and DPG files) (everything to run moonhell were in my previous post with the links)If you've got this on your micro SD it will work properly (I've got a R4I RTS and it works with normale R4i RTS firmwire.To start up Moonshell from your R4 press the middle buttton to start up MoonshellIf it isn't you can change that in your settings (for the moment I forget how to get there )
and if they're correct the middle button will launch MoonshellYou can also enter your games folder and use the Moonshell.nds file it also launches moonshell
(you can choose where to put Moonshell.nds but with R4 I always put it in my gamesfolder in case the middle button fails to work like in your case)Maybe this will help you to get it work

I've looked at the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6N2orHTf60&NR=1) and I don't know if you've noticed you can only do that on a Acekard 2i (Like I have with AKIO and not with a R4That what you saw in the video can only be done with a Acekard2 2i with AKIO firmwire

then whats all this then? its clearly marked R4 INSTRUCTIONSR4 Instructions
WARNING: SPOILER INSIDE
(show)
(hide)1) Extract the files of the r4denc package on your desktop.2) Copy your R4-DLDI'd moonshl2.nds from the root of your card to the r4denc directory.3) Drag moonshl2.nds over r4enc.exe. This will produce a file called "moonshl2.nds.DAT".4) Rename moonshl2.nds.DAT into "_DS_MENU.DAT".For users of Windows XP/etc., the .DAT extension might automatically be hidden. In this case, open any explorer window, go to "Tools", "Folder Options...", "View", check the Advanced Settings panel and remove the check from "Hide extensions for known file types." Keep it this way for now.5) Copy _DS_MENU.DAT to the root of your card. From here, you can choose to overwrite R4's original _DS_MENU.DAT firmware file or just rename it to something else and keep it as backup. What matters is you get the renamed _DS_MENU.DAT at the root of your card.Okay, now you can change it back. Follow the extra steps in the previous step and put the check back. It might get annoying when you're renaming files, so it's recommended you just keep the extensions hidden unless you discover you have an everyday use for them.6) Create a new directory on your desktop called "r4ysauto".7) Extract the contents of the r4ysauto package you downloaded into this directory.8) Copy the YSMenu package you downloaded from Yasu's site into the r4ysauto directory.9) Run r4config.bat and answer the questions accordingly. Anyhow, these are my answers:Language: EN
Flashcart: R4
Overwrite: Yes
Skin: No
YSMenu Language: EN
Ways To Install YSMenu: 4
Automatic Updates: Off10) Rename the YSMenu package you copied to the directory as "YSMenu0810211800.zip".11) Run r4.bat. This will produce "R4_custom_English.zip".12) Extract the files of this archive into the root of your card.13) Create a new directory called "ysmenu" at the root of your card.14) Move the YSMenu.nds you extracted from the R4_custom_English archive into the ysmenu directory.15) DLDI-patch YSMenu.nds.

Moonshell launches Homebrew, I never saw it launch any normal DS game...Start looking by ''Sound'' and (if it is there) ''Movies''.

Since Moonshell 2.07 it has been impossible for people to launch games from Moonshell without this workaround: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=208136Now I'll go back to lurking...
