Hacking A Few Questions...

[Hybridx24]

Just got my Cyclo DS (and it's amazing

) and I just wanted to know a few things.

1) It has a "Gba support beta" option in the settings... does that mean that a slot-2 is necessary?

2) Can I "Soft reset" any other way than clicking A+B+X+Y+L+R and going through the menu?

3) How do I enable Real Time Saves

4) How do I change the skin for Moonshell... I put the folder in the "skins" folder which is in the moonshell directory but nothing happened... do I have to replace the original files?

1. Yes
2. In moonshell you can use the menu, don't think any other games can do that
3. I have no idea.
4. Yes, you have to replace the original skin files for Moonshell. I don't think it has a built in multi-skin system.

Well I figured out that you can have multiple skins on Moonshell, just disable the "hide moonshl folder" and navigate and select the "skinname.ini".

ALSO: I made a mistake in my first question, it should have said this:

1) Does the new "GBA Support Beta" mean I don't need a slot-2 card?

You always need a slot-2 for GBA games. God dammit, why doesn't anyone understand this?

1: you need a slot 2
2: yes, for most games/homebrew.
3: hold select and start a game
4 download a moonshell skin from NDSthemes.com and replace the files.

Slot 2 is necessary, as the DS Slot 1 cannot emulate a GBA.
