Hacking How do I get music to play with version AKAIO 1.5?

[little_dee]

I am a total noob here and have no idea of what to do to get music playing.

Can someone please give me an idea of how get get the music to play with a detailed description?

I have read about plugins not working with this version and needing to download something to add (no idea where though) but have searched for ages and am still scratching my head.

Use homebrew aplication called
Lick's Media Player (LMP-ng)

MP3/OGG support

No need to describe, just dl, put on card, start it and enjoy the music

MoonShell 2 is another popular option. Unlike LMP-ng, it supports other media files including video using a special format.

Wait, so we can't just open the music folder without downloading moonshell like in 1.4.1?

In that case, where can I DL moonshell 2?

What you need is 'moonshl2.nds' and 'moonshl2_Directboot.nds' files
Download moonshell (note if you want to run commercial ROMS from moonshell DON'T use versions 2.07 or 2.08 - you have to use v2.06) - & copy

moonshl2 (folder)
moonshl2.nds (file)
moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds (file)

to the root of your card (alternatively you can use the 'set up.exe' file in the moonshell download)
then you need to select your language (use the 'languageselect.exe' in the download) & that's about it

oh.. except some people find that deleting 'logbug.txt' in the 'moonshl2' folder helps loading if it locks up, & if that doesn't work then a re-format of your memory card often helps (just make sure you backup first)

I found this and it helped alot. I finally have the music working much to my 10 year olds delight.
