General Instructions.
Change Log.
Version 3.1
Skins
Moonshell2 - Skins have now been removed to reduce the file size. All skins in the following pack have been tested working - Moonshell v2 Stable Full Skin Pack Extract the contents of this package to the ../MS2 Skins folder on the SD. Just run the required skin file from Moonshell to install.
Wood - Several Wood / AK skins have been included in the MAIO package and can be change from the Wood system menu (exit to firmware or WOODR4.NDS)
Missing Icons.
If icons are missing for your games you can open them up in RomeR and apply changes. A link to RomeR has been placed in the downloads section.
*NOTE* you will need to change the cheats database to reflect the change in gameid or the cheats will not work after the RomeR changes to the header.
Cheats.
The cheat database included in this MAIO package were downloaded from the official database (see downloads section). Place the file usrcheat.dat in _rpg/cheats.
*Note* There are too many cheats in the official download for the original R4 to display so you will need to edit them using R4cce. You can use this program to delete the cheats you do not need making the database smaller. You can also use R4cce to change the gameid if changes have been made using RomeR.
Encoding Movies.
There has been some troubles with encoding DPG movies for use with Moonshell. There are many versions of DPGenc around. For best results use the copy of DPGenc included in the downloads section.
I have recently tried dpg4x (v2.0) and have had very good results. link in the downloads section.[/indent]
