One thing to note is that you can create a games folder for your roms anywhere on your card EXCEPT inside the __aio folder (because it is hidden from view on your DS therefore cannot access the files). It is generally recommended that you create a folder called "DS" or "DSRoms" or something like that on the root of the SD card and put all your NDS files in there.

moonshell 2 link just extract the moonshl2 folder and the moonmemo and the moonshl2.nds and the language select.nds to the root of your mircosd. run the language select to select your language and then run moonshl2.nds If your still having throuble reformat your mircosd card because moonshell will not run on a card with errors

DSOrganise - Folder goes on the root of the card, .nds file goes where ever you want, the rest... doesn't matter.

I guess you can just put the other two anywhere. Nothing needs to be on the root.
