MoonShell is a homebrew multimedia player for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS lite and Nintendo DSi. It is a well known, popular piece of Nintendo DS homebrew software, and offers a way to play videos and audio on the DS, along with other homebrew games.
 
The initial version 0.1 was released on 2 August 2005. It supports DPG video files, MP3 / OGG / MOD / SPC / MDX (no PCM) / GBS / HES / NSF / XM / MIDI / WMA / low bit rate AAC audio / non-progressive JPEG /BMP / GIF / PNG images, text files, and ebooks. The latest version 2.10 can play FLAC files, though with some audible sound distortion. Both screens on the DS are used, with the bottom screen allowing file selection and control via touchscreen.
 
The integrated plug-in system provides extensibility of program features. To add a feature, the plug-in files are simply copied to the appropriate folder. In order to function as a media player, several plug-in files are distributed with the software.


==Installation==
==Installation==
Download and extract the Moonshell package to a folder on your computer.
The release comes as an exe file, if you prefer the files in their extracted form, you can [https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew2/moonshelle.7z download this] instead.


Download the [[DLDI|DLDI]] file for your card and move it into the DLDI folder that was created in the first step.
Two versions are included, stable and child zwai. The latter prioritized on sound processing but may lead to slower performance compared to the stable version. You may notice more frequent skipping of high-quality music files (like M4A/WMA, MDX, and SPC), especially when playing text or images simultaneously.


Download this tool: Win32_GUI.
The improved sound quality is only noticeable when using DSi/DSiLL or [https://www.itplaza.co.jp/opti/NDS/romeo2.html ROMEO2] (a slot2 sound board) with earphones. There will be little improvement in sound quality when using NDS/DSLite alone despite the slowdown.


Plug your card into your computer. Start setup.exe, which can be found in the folder that you created in the first step.
Full instructions:
* Connect your SD card to your PC.
* If you have [https://www.7-zip.org/ 7zip], right click on the exe and select "open archive", then copy the contents to your PC.
* Double click on the setup.exe to run it.
* Choose the language, then from "Install to..." select the drive for your SD card.
* Click the "Open More" check box for other addons/plugins/tools.
* Click "Install" to continue.
* Double click LanguageSelect.exe to configure your MoonShell 2's language settings.
* Insert the SD card into your console.
* Run either moonshl2.nds or moonshl2_directboot.nds.


Choose your card for Destination in the list and click OK. Click All Clear and check the tick box for your card.  
Alternative instructions:
* Extract the exe file to your PC (double click on it or use 7zip).
* Copy the following to the root of the SD card:
** moonshl2 folder
** moonshl2.nds
** moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds
** (moonshl2_AltLoader_DKPr27.nds is an alternative to moonshl2.nds for AceKard2, it also fixes a sound issue with R4)


Click Setup and Moonshell will install itself to your card.
Update patch for v2.10 child zwai:
 
* Note: Only use the update files with v2.10 child zwai. Do not use it on other versions (i.e. stable).
Once the copy has finished unplug your card from your computer. Launch your card in your DS and start the Moonshell app.
* Copy and overwrite the moonshl2.nds and moonshl2 folder. If you are booting directly without going through the standard firmware, use the files in the DLDIPatchedFiles folder.
* To check if the update is installed, press Start on the file list screen. It should display "MoonShell Ver 2.10 for child zwai May 4 2".

2.1.0 EXE - Extracted - Old Versions

Website
Source

MoonShell is a homebrew multimedia player for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS lite and Nintendo DSi. It is a well known, popular piece of Nintendo DS homebrew software, and offers a way to play videos and audio on the DS, along with other homebrew games.

The initial version 0.1 was released on 2 August 2005. It supports DPG video files, MP3 / OGG / MOD / SPC / MDX (no PCM) / GBS / HES / NSF / XM / MIDI / WMA / low bit rate AAC audio / non-progressive JPEG /BMP / GIF / PNG images, text files, and ebooks. The latest version 2.10 can play FLAC files, though with some audible sound distortion. Both screens on the DS are used, with the bottom screen allowing file selection and control via touchscreen.

The integrated plug-in system provides extensibility of program features. To add a feature, the plug-in files are simply copied to the appropriate folder. In order to function as a media player, several plug-in files are distributed with the software.

Installation

The release comes as an exe file, if you prefer the files in their extracted form, you can download this instead.

Two versions are included, stable and child zwai. The latter prioritized on sound processing but may lead to slower performance compared to the stable version. You may notice more frequent skipping of high-quality music files (like M4A/WMA, MDX, and SPC), especially when playing text or images simultaneously.

The improved sound quality is only noticeable when using DSi/DSiLL or ROMEO2 (a slot2 sound board) with earphones. There will be little improvement in sound quality when using NDS/DSLite alone despite the slowdown.

Full instructions:

  • Connect your SD card to your PC.
  • If you have 7zip, right click on the exe and select "open archive", then copy the contents to your PC.
  • Double click on the setup.exe to run it.
  • Choose the language, then from "Install to..." select the drive for your SD card.
  • Click the "Open More" check box for other addons/plugins/tools.
  • Click "Install" to continue.
  • Double click LanguageSelect.exe to configure your MoonShell 2's language settings.
  • Insert the SD card into your console.
  • Run either moonshl2.nds or moonshl2_directboot.nds.

Alternative instructions:

  • Extract the exe file to your PC (double click on it or use 7zip).
  • Copy the following to the root of the SD card:
    • moonshl2 folder
    • moonshl2.nds
    • moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds
    • (moonshl2_AltLoader_DKPr27.nds is an alternative to moonshl2.nds for AceKard2, it also fixes a sound issue with R4)

Update patch for v2.10 child zwai:

  • Note: Only use the update files with v2.10 child zwai. Do not use it on other versions (i.e. stable).
  • Copy and overwrite the moonshl2.nds and moonshl2 folder. If you are booting directly without going through the standard firmware, use the files in the DLDIPatchedFiles folder.
  • To check if the update is installed, press Start on the file list screen. It should display "MoonShell Ver 2.10 for child zwai May 4 2".

Changelog

  • Fixed a bug causing abnormal termination near the end of DPG file playback.
  • Fixed a bug in implementing touch panel combination commands (unable to seek by long press).
  • Added an option to play DPG files on the lower screen to moonshl2.ini. Please refer to moonshl2_DPGOption.ini.

v2.10 for child zwai 2010/08/31

  • Added support for MDX file playback (since it's software emulation, the quality is lower than MDXOffline).
  • Added option to output only video audio (useful for web radio, etc.).
  • Added support for outputting video audio from Romeo2.
  • A button long-press selection for playlist editor only within the same folder as playback mode.
  • Added ChannelsMapSelector to the SELECT button submenu.
  • Significant changes to MoonMemo. (Try pressing the right/left, X/Y buttons).
  • Fixed bug where thumbnails were not updated when the content of an image changed in automatic thumbnail generation.

  • Fixed bug where automatic DLDI patch was not applied when launching large HomeBrew.
  • Enabled song control via touch panel during screen saver. Since you can operate with the backlight off screen by making a "beep" sound, it may be a bit difficult to explain, but please try it.

  • Added ScreenSaver_ShowClock and ScreenSaver_ShowMusicInfo to the [FileList] section of moonshl2.ini. Options to toggle display/show for screen saver clock and song information, respectively.

  • Added a simple toy drum set.

Text Editor-related:

  • Added submenu for creating new text files to SELECT button.
  • Changed initial settings of textedit.ini to connect the left and right edges of the prediction conversion window, making it easier to convert single kanji characters.
  • Saved clipboard (copy-paste buffer) and made it possible to paste into other files.
  • Reversed the button layout for kana/Kana input mode.
  • Added ability to copy & paste with L button as well as R button. (L+X/Y is for backlight adjustment, L+up/down/left/right only).
