How to run Moonshell2 on DSI SD card

[JohnPizza]

I've tried as many things as I could to get it working but nothing seamed to have worked. If anyone could just simply tell me how they got Moonshell2 working then it would help a lot, thanks!

You need a specific version of Moonshell for it to work. v2.00, afaik.
If that doesn't work, then you'll need a flashcard to use Moonshell.

If you're looking to play videos, then please see this page for playing videos on the DSi SD card: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/videoplayers

Moonshell 2 by far is the latest and most up-to-date version. It allows playing videos off an SD card, but they need to be converted to a special format known as DPGs, there are converters readily available by doing a quick search. Alternatively, @RocketRobz has created his own movie player which consists of his own specialised movie format and a converter to help you out. https://github.com/RocketRobz/RocketVideoPlayer

I recommend not using that one though, as it's very out of date, and contains a few glitches.
Converting a video is also more time-consuming than with other converters.

I suppose its about seeing what suits best. I've had no issues converting movie files with this tool, however, it requires you to extract the video and audio streams before importing them, of which can be very tedious. So, I agree, DPGs and MoonShell is the way to go.
