here's the first question-
guys, does ur moonshell provide smooth movie playing experience?
if it does, can u give some information on it? coz mine jus sux because it hangs alot.

something about the video width, aspect ratio(mostly auto detect), bitrate, framerate, flipvideo(?) or anything.

help appriciated

lower the frame rate, i encode my videos at 16fps

mine @ 15fps.

mild to no choppiness. Only scenes where movement is very, very fast.

hm~so it's the compability problem or NDS's frame rate abit sucky?

how's the sound quality?

all high settings, exc. for fps @ 15.

works fine for me.

in the 1.21+8 version of moonshell, they have the thumbnail feature for pics but i notice that it only shows the thumbnails for the images that were already in the folder at the time of creating thumbnail. pics added later do not show the thumbnail. besides that, a certain number of pics dun show the thumbnail altho they do show the previewon the lower screen. maybe in later versions these problems can be fixed

anyone got the clock working?

which clock u meaning?
i noe there is "screen saver" clock function. meaning if u leave moonshell there for a few minutes it will turn to clock mode. btw, moonshell 1.3 final beta 2 out edi

Hmmm... dis kindda noobish question hahaha... but since i dont hav a ds/lite so i'll ask anyway cos i wanna buy 1 (yeah i know... kindda late huh but wanna wait 4 da PERFECT price )

can i play media/mp3 when i close/flip down ds??? does it goes 2 sleep-mode??? n if i cant play it, can i mod it in so how (witout turning it 2 a brick ) hmmm...

thanks in advance XP

yes, u can still play mp3 wen it is in sleep mode, n flpped mode 2,lol

so faster get ur hands on 1 of those!

How to put moonshell in sd mini for supercard mini?

copy, paste and DIE

a....
What is the best video converter video for moonshell format a?
Any recommendation? easy to use ect.

moonshell can also play ogg file

how can we play mp3 or ogg using moonshell?

The same way u got Moonshell on your flashcart, get your files there too.

it is hard to setup it right? when i put the exfs version, it will play MP3, but when i select some direct method, i won't play MP3, weird

mitodna

Hi, Im new here. does this moonshell works with scSD version? izzit the same thing like 'filmplay.gba'? if so, which is better? thankz

moonshell works with scsd

trying out moonshell with my supercardSD. hopefully everything goes smoth. any advice? btw supercarSD have it owns movie player. is the quality same compare with moonshell? hope u all dont mind i ask stupid things.

I am a complete n00b. Moonshell only works with flashed DS? T_T

anybody got screenshot of moonshell in action

suet,

THAT or a passkey device. Its a "homebrew" application so the DS encryption validation needs to be bypassed and passed to the GBA cart.

myliew,

Moonshell is operating in DS mode, whereas the SC movie player is meant for GBA. Therefore the Moonshell one works much better

To get it to work, just put moonshell.nds on your SCSD and put your mp3s on the SD card. Same goes for pictures, oggs, text files etc.

However, if you want to play movies they need to be converted first.

what kind of software i need to converted the movie? and what file do the converter support?
thanks for reply

Read this :

http://scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1962

just get batchdpg from here

http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/?Download

along with avisynth that is linked on the above page.

follow the instructions and you can encode nearly all video files. I've tried wmv, rm, rmvb, mpg and they all work.

will try it out guys....thakz alot

What's the latest version of Moonshell?

moonshell 1.31
has anyone tried out moonrein?

*bumping old topic*

Got a few questions here about Moonshell.

1. What's the picture resolution if I wanna view it in moonshell?

2. Is the clock in the moonshell can changed to other type? Meaning does it have skins like moonshell itself? Or when we change the skin, the clock will follow the skin?

3. Is it normal when I'm moving the clock/mp3's window on the touch screen, the mp3 become lag abit?

4. No more question your honour. HOLD IT!!. OBJECTION!!.

Sorry. 'Demam' Phoenix Wright.

Thanks in advance.

1) Picture resolution of wat? Picture files can scroll around using touchscreen. Not sure if there maxsize but i've tried 2000+ by 1500+ still can. Video max screen size is 256x192

2) Can be changed. U need to get the relevant skins for the clock. Forgot where already. And no, when you change skins its only change for the main interface, not the clock. Unless its included in the skin package then got change lor

3) Yes. Its normal. So don't itchy fingers lah.

Thanks for your time.

And if you remember where to get the clock skins, kindly pm me or put it here

PM me info on passkey, pretty please? I don't wanna flash my DSL.

this moonshell zip file is making me blur~ after i download the zip file, i unzip it. click the setup.....select english.......select C drive (if i not mistaken, im using supercard).........then click OK. but nothing come out cant find the monnshell.nds file. need help......the readme file is abit hard for me to understand.

If you read my previous post HERE pls disregard it.

The way to do it is when you run the "Setup.exe" choose the drive of your SD card. Please don't use EXFS as that is meant for a GBA flash cart with no FS for u to put your files. Uncheck those other things that is not SuperCard at the bottom.

Once that is done, click the "setup" button and everything u need will be copied over to your SD card and run!

Master santaduck,

start my NDS, only saw shell, click shell, only have "back" & plugin, select plugin and it show "idcp.bin" & "clk_vu.bin". both are only showing me "GAME BOY"

what should i do next? did i miss something else?

thanks for the fast reply.

sever down?
or
http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/?Download

pls advice thanks

Try this instead :

http://www.tmpgenc.net/en/e_main.html

But as kennyboy pointed out, you might just want to try :

http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/?Download

and forget about the one in ScDev. I've only tried the first one actually and I don't use my DS for videos.

This post has been edited by satanduck: Jul 14 2006, 01:31 AM

happy to hear from you (santaduck) so fast.
wow.....the link u give are charging is US dollars.
but its really give some infor.

kenny boy~ i have try ur link.....but the software wont work.
pls advice

Har? Really? I think got free version lar...

wait...

Try this :

http://download1.pegasys-inc.com/download_...63.181-Free.zip

Go to this link

http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/?Download

Get the avisynth, Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 if you don't already have it, and BatchDPG v1.0 final - Full.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/avisynt...56.exe?download
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en
http://ls5.cydonianknight.com/index.php?do...tchDPG_v1.0.exe

Install them in order above. Then just run batchdpg. Simple as that. Much easier than tmpgenc.

Using this you can convert most video that your pc can play, even realmedia files.

thanks guy. i will try all the link step by step. ill let u guy know the result after i try.

to dear kennyboy:
i cant seem 2 convert rmv files with the converter u sugested, can u provide me with any information?

other format files can? Your rmvb files can playback only with realplayer correct?

If so go download the media player classic. google for k-lite mega codec, download and install it. then play your rm files with the media player classic installed.

If can play with no prob, dpgbatch should convert it with no problems.

doesnt that codec needs$$$?

its free man....who said u need to pay?

it isn't so difficult to use google isn't it?

OMG i cant install Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 what shall i do now?
BTW what are the video file does moonshell support?

This post has been edited by myliew: Jul 17 2006, 01:39 AM

RESPECT fer the masters who help NOOBS like me

so can use already lah?

support exactly wat i'm not sure. i've read that anything that plays through the directshow filter can be used.

I've used vob, mpg, dat, xvid, divx, rm, rmvb, asf, wmv all can.

Only format cannot is flv, cos that's flash format so still to convert to avi first. But strangely i can play flv format directly on my media player classic....hmmmmm....

why cannot install framework? think quite a few programs require it anyway.

edit...now works with flv files too!!!!

satanduck, i have try the link u give. its only convert my file to mpeg then i copy the after convert file to my SDcard together with the moonshall. still cant play any movie . did i convert it wrongly? do moonshall play mpeg file?
please help

kenny....i still cant install the framework v1.1

This post has been edited by myliew: Jul 17 2006, 07:40 PM

Hmmm.. ok here's the story...

U need to convert to mpg first, then use "dpgenc" to convert to dpg for the DS to play. "dpgenc" only takes mpg files, and the first step using the program is to make it all into mpg first. BatchDPG is supposed to do all that in a single step, thats why i suggested it at first though I have not used it before.

"dpgenc" used to be distributed with moonshell i think. no matter, u can get it here :

http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/moonlight/moons...10_dpgtools.zip

Sorry for the "partial" information in my posts, I've only tried it briefly once as I don't view movies on my DS, so abit hazy.

Good luck!

This post has been edited by satanduck: Jul 17 2006, 10:30 PM

yeh~ thankz satanduck. now i can view some MTV or cartoon in my NDS. you are corect, the movie is abit hazy....but nvm....for cartoon like the simpsons is doing fine. i also found this link.....its really help alot. maybe some of u who dont know how to use moonshell will help.
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=18663
not to forget kennyboy also thank u all guys.

hehehe you're welcome.

After all the trouble, the quality is a bit of a disappointment ei?

MP3 on the other hand seems to play well and sounds pretty OK too coming out of the DS speakers IMHO.

ya....the movie is just abit better then the GBA movie player.....keke.....btw i have change my moonshell wall paper to window XP kekeke looks cool~

and also why i cant adjust the volume during the set-up option?

SOFTWARE for MoonShell: MoonShell Reset for SC (2006.08.03)
anyone know what is this all about? izzit the laters version for moon shell?

Haven't tried, but i think u run this in moonshell to reset to SC menu.

i'm new in moonshell. i'm using g6lite which is moonshell installed. but now i dunno how to play my mp3. where sud i put my mp3 files? or do i need to install anything 1st b4 i can listen to my mp3 in my NDS?

need help here, thanks

1-moonshell reset for supercard.nds
2-patch moomshell for super card
anyone know what is it for?

moonshell reset is u can reset ur NDS back to SC menu while u r in moonshell..dont have to turn it off anymore...

how about the application file (patch moomshell for super card)
whats that all about?

moonshell v1.5 is out.

File Description
old MoonShell screencapIt's been a while since we last heard from the Japanese DS coder Infantile Paralysiser, but apparently, he's been busy as he has just released MoonShell v1.5. As we all know, MoonShell is one of the most popular homebrew image viewers and media players for the Nintendo DS.

For v1.5, the creator has noted the following changes:

* Corresponded to EZ4/DSLink. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Rudolph.
* 'The cartridge of enhancing the memory of DS browser' can be used for the cache memory.
* The resume item was added. (sound volume, reproduction mode, and NDSLite backlight brightness)
* ResumeUsingWhileMusicPlaying item was added to [System] section of global.ini. The resume is preserved while performing the tune.
* The DPG format was renewed. As for the DPG file made with a new encoder, seek is fast and the image doesn't fall into disorder either. Especially, it is remarkable in a long video.

He also warns that this current version must not be mixed with older versions of MoonShell.

In any case, besides the application itself, the creator of this homebrew has also released the source as well as an MSPV40SDK plug-in, for those who might be interested.

As for the installation and other procedures, Infantile Paralysiser has also included a comprehensive FAQ and readme file in the bundle, so be sure to check those out.

3 things to download:
Filename
MoonShell v1.5 - MSPV40SDK plug-in File
MoonShell v1.5 - Source
MoonShell v1.5

any idea what is the plug-in & source for?

For proper viewing of images, I'd rather be using Image Viewer. Comes with nice stylus feature to drag around to zoom/select the pictures. Although you need to convert the bundle of picture files into a certain filetype to use it (but it's nice anyway, it's like an autopilot to compress+ create thumbnail for it)

The only good thing that I use Moonshell for right now is to convert my DSL to a mp3 player. The movie viewing thing is just a silly novelty that wears off quickly.

image viewer make my NDSL looks like a pro. this homebrew i give 8.5 out of 10.
i think moonshell only good for cartoon movie. i only load The Simpson. hm....maybe i should try amination as well.

plug in im not sure what its for but the source code is for reference to other developers as a learning tool or whatever.

hi, 1st time nintendo owner here.
my theme is set at auto arrange sumthing... how do i change it to manual setting? u see... my theme is set according to date..
i try pressing select at the main menu... there comes out (AUTO) no option for me to select . i got both _system_ folder & moonshl folder in my root *spaces(i forgot what it's called.. it's the part on after u double click the removable disk)
sadly i deleted the whole 12 theme(set according to my date) folder.. i forgot to copy the files inside for backup
sry if i ask sumthing noob
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

now a new problem arise. i changed the themes folder name to THEME01, THEME02 n so on... i open my nds . its seems to work.. i got my favourite themes on but the previous themes enable me to set brightness on the menu, the new themes cant.

This post has been edited by gaiachronicler: Apr 12 2009, 04:22 PM

why not just redownload a clean theme set?

meaning *clean*?
anyway, up until now no problem.. i still can set brightness & all. thx anyway

i mean clean as in untouched one..probably u hv deleted other files too unintentionally coz if u just messed with the theme files the brightness option will not be affected.

i usin moonshells v.154 i cant play music mp3.. i new to this anyone have step by step guide

there a new Moonshell2 u know, much better interface and can view album art.

Moonshell 2 by moonlight is da best! fast scene won't lag like previous version due to new way of processing the vid.

google moonshell 2 wiki for more info.
