Hacking How do I make My flashcart automatically boot into moonshell?

[Parax342]

did you boot using the file above?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

back in the day using my old r4 you could autoboot by naming to default.nds or boot.nds, i dunno what kernel your r4 is running, though that _ds_menu.dat should allow you to boot directly in to moonshell, but you will be running moonshell instead as your r4 kernel. as i used moonshell before mp3 players and smartphones became everyday commodities i had it able to autoboot straight to moonshell after the cart and kernel booted (no r4 menu), though im talking about 5-10 years ago, it also depends on who makes the card since they can "lock" the card from loading other kernels (r4isdhc.com cards do this which are dstt(i) clones not r4)

yes i used the file you ggave me.

thank you so much for trying to help even though it didn't work.

try that one rename it from .zip to .dat

your cart does use a _ds_menu.dat firmware ?

also i thought that i'd try to return the favor with a little tip: with this moonshell-autoboot pack you can name any nds file to moonshl2.nds overwriting the old one and now you have a replica cart. still doesn't change the cover art. sorry i cant do more in return

this is a patched version of moonshell, you can also boot roms from it as its essentially your r4 firmware, i assume its also uses a patched _ds_menu.dat that points to the file moonshl2.nds once its loads instead of the r4 firmware kernel
