Moonshell 2.00 beta 2 released
Quick update
Moonlight has posted news about beta 2 of the upcoming moonshell 2.00. Changelog is a bit smaller but it aims to be a bugfix release. The author has stressed that the skin makeup/layout and language files will probably change before the end so skin/translation authors should be prepared to change things with each update or wait for a final release. For those just hearing of moonshell it is an application for the DS that plays video (DPG format), audio (many formats), text and pictures as well as launching homebrew code for some carts.

Spoiler: Changelog

The following is a crude translation of the text that appears at the authors blog (link below).

Added
You can now choose to launch an application depending on the extension of the file (see moonshl2/extlink/readme.txt), note soft reset or similar to return to moonshell2 is not possible.
IPK images are now viewable.
Holding select for more than 3 seconds creates a screenshot of the current screen (aimed at skin makers).
Scrolling text on touch screen available outside of the scroll bar.
You can disable L and R when closing the screen.
With images less than 512 pixels you can use them as wallpaper for file lists (????????512???????????????????????????????????????)
Added the ability to scroll (reverse?) the screen up or down the file list(see SwapDisp.txt)(?????????????????????????[/?????/?????/SwapDisp.txt]??????)

Changed
Launch_Tab0_Launch.png and Launch_Tab1_NDS.png changed dimensions to 256x192 pixels.

Fixed
Commands launched using A, B, L and R now work properly.
Fixed a bug with unsupported file types in list view.
Fixed a bug with the option to hide file extensions hiding folder names.

That was fast

Finally managed to upload it to GBAtemp (my slow uploads), I have to fix my camera either but I will see about finding another.

Safe to assume that this version also doesn't work on CycloDS?

This sounds interesting!

Yup, it does work, but not as the default media player (yet), follow these instructions Moonshell 2 Beta 2

 

[Sp33der]

This is still in english right? @_@

 

[Quanno]

There's some .exe with it called language select, but i dunno how to use it

Here are screenshots taken with the new select option

I love you Moonlight.

 

[imgod22222]

wow! Does it include the DS? That's a really neat feature! Probably won't see much use until Cyclo decides to add that to their loader. RTS + Screenshots!

Way to go, Moonlight =D

 

[ganons]

no english translation?

 

[wolfmanz51]

no english translation?

thats my question because i used the language select exe and chose English but when I use Moonshell I get Language errors

 

[ChuckMcB]

The English translation does not seem to be complete, but if you click OK past the first screen you can still browse and play media fine.

 

[ackers]

Does it take screenshots of both screens?? I think I recall team cyclops stating that it was only possible to take a snapshot of one screen?

You can make Cyclo recognize moonshell 2 to their loader.

Here's How:
___________________
1. make a folder at the root of your microsd. Name it " moonshl "
2. Place the .nds file(of beta 2) into " moonshl "
3. Rename that file "moonshell.nds"
4. Place the "moonshl2" folder onto the root of your microsd

Put in DS and enjoy!

If I remember correctly, I posted a recommendation that they give the option of disabling L and R when watching movies. Well they got part of that recommendation I guess, able to disable L and R when closing the screen.

Thanks Moonshell team! Definitely looking forward to final release.

 

[ChuckMcB]

Thanks for the tip Zarkz.

geokilla, try posting your suggestion again as I'm seeing Moonlight replying and adding things to the Moonshell2 'to do' list here.

This doesn't work on DS-X ffffffffffffffff

 

[ChuckMcB]

What bit of it doesn't work? What error messages did you get?
