Homebrew MoonShell 2.00 Beta 5 "GBAtemp-official-English"

[Toni Plutonij]

This is an "official GBAtemp translation" for MoonShell 2.00 beta 5 application.

Seeing how some people complained about partial and broken translations, Densetsu3000 contacted me about making the real complete English translation for the last MoonShell beta that was released..
This translation is different from all others because it has translated everything, Read-Me files, FAQ, text files within MoonShell, graphics, completely everything (except changelong, because there was no need for doing that, all info is contained in other files), and it's all done in legit english without any translation systems or online translators!

Released 09 February 2009
Created by Moonlight/Infantile Paralysiser
MoonShell 2 GUI, skin, all text files translated by Densetsu3000
Graphic editing/Skinned by Toni Plutonij

- English is now the default GUI/skin language.
- Check the "\Misc Tools\Extras" folder to add extra functionality to MoonShell 2.
- The "Extras" folder also contains a version of GBA ExpLoader specially adapted for MoonShell2 by Rudolph. View the Readme in that folder for details.
- Soft-reset files for DSLink and R4 included in the "moonshl2\resetmse" folder (also by Rudolph). If anyone knows how to create soft-reset files for other flashcarts, please submit them for inclusion into this release. You will, of course, be credited.
- You can make screen captures of the GUI by holding down SELECT for 3 seconds. MoonShell 2 will freeze afterwards, but this is normal. Simply shut down and reboot. The screencaps will be found on the root of your MicroSD card. If you take multiple screencaps, a number will be appended to the image filenames in sequential order.
- All documentation and readme files that were originally in Japanese were translated into English without the use of online translations; just hardcore knowledge of the Japanese language and native fluency in English. So if you take the time to read them, they'll actually make sense and you might discover things that you may have missed about MoonShell 2. So read them, Moonlight and Rudolph didn't write them for fun

This thread is made for discussion about MoonShell capabilities, and this translation. Posts regarding Moonlight-M3 matter WILL GET REMOVED!
Also, take note that this isn't an official translation made by Moonlight or in association with him, this was done by GBAtemp members in most professional way.

Hopefully, you'll enjoy it, and be sure to check ReadMe and About the MoonShell 2 English Release files from the package!

- Includes updates to the GUI translation based on feedback from the thread

Setting it up as CycloDS "music" option?

3: Cut and paste the moonshl2.nds to "moonshl" folder.
4: Rename moonshl2.nds to moonshell.nds

It's all the difference, skin is just the little part of translation, Densetsu3000 translated all the internal text, all files from the package have been translated, including text additions, and explanations of MoonShells old/new features..

This is complete translation, unlike previous ones that were only partial..

Bits of skin are also changed to blue so it feels like a complete work, and not like it's been made out of several skins!

Wow great job guys, Densetsu3000 certainly deserves his custom title!

Im very impressed you two, excellent job!

Maybe they're causing the problem. You can find them in the \moonshl2\resetmse folder. Try deleting them and let us know if it still doesn't work.

thanks, but on the moonshell settings menu, and where it says 'mp3 press and hold l/r to seek' or something like that, i ticked it and it diables that feature. i uncheck it and it enables Xd, just wondering if it was normal lol
and the 'show id3tag during playback' feature doent work. whenever i tick/uncheck it, it shows the id3 tag of my music.

Well, there might be some minor things that we overlooked, thanks for letting us know, we'll be looking into it, and for everyone else, if you find anything weird, or you have any questions, feel free to post here!

It will only help us improve this..

p1ngy,

thanks

I just checked it myself! Hold on, I'm going to check something out.

QUOTE(nicky041192 @ Feb 9 2009, 02:43 PM) and the 'show id3tag during playback' feature doent work. whenever i tick/uncheck it, it shows the id3 tag of my music.

Yeah, that's just a feature that never worked in the first place. I guess Moonlight meant to implement it, but never finished it. So whether you check/uncheck it, it'll show the ID3 tag.

*EDIT*
As I thought, it was a mistake in the original Japanese. Moonlight himself had the setting backwards in Japanese, and I just directly translated it without testing it myself. I'll fix that right away, thanks for pointing it out!

 

[Deleted-119707]

ahh, thanks for the info. id3tags not really a problem XD
would it be possible to 'blank' the id3tag setting for now? or say not implimented?

i seem to be in the mood today haha

on the top screen where it shows the instruction, maaybe add 'L+Left to show mp3 bar' or something. if you didnt know, it shows a bar that slides from the left showing buttongs for playing,pausing your mp3.
and
say 'hold select to take screenshot'

would it be possible to 'blank' the id3tag setting for now? or say not implimented?Yeah, that would be simple! Great suggestion, actually. Thanks!

No problem, we appreciate all the feedback!

Yeah, if you check the KeyMap.txt file in the \Manuals folder, it has all of the additional controls (there are just way too many of them to fit on that top screen). I just noticed this, but in the KeyMap.txt file, the control for showing the MP3 bar is reversed as well

This is why it took us so long to release it. We had to test things, but apparently we didn't test enough

Since Toni is the skinner, that's up to him if he can figure out how to squeeze all of the stuff you suggest into that top screen.

 

[Deleted-119707]

hehe no problem. only if i can apply myself like this at school lol

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Very nice suggestions, keep em coming if you remember anything else

Stuff like that is wanted in threads like this one!

 

[Deleted-119707]

add 'l+r to pause' l+up
works also with tripple r tap

l+down to chaange play mode (repeat,random)
i dont know if you can fit everything though lol

maybe a little clean up on the text file menu... capitals when needed maybe? or caps on every word?

 

[Isaiah]

umm mine isn't loading it says application halted! help plz?

 

[Deleted-119707]

dldi patched?

Yeah, we know about most of these functions, but there is no place to fit them when making a skin, we've been keeping it simple and true to the original, as close as possible..

QUOTE(~Kuraudo's Sword~ @ Feb 10 2009, 12:08 AM) umm mine isn't loading it says application halted! help plz?

Have you tried backing up everything to your PC, and then formatting your microSD?
Then copying moonshl2 folder and Moonshell2.00 beta 5 to your microSD, remember moonshl2 folder MUST be on the root of the microSD!!

 

[Noitora]

If there's any need for hacking I can help you in return Densetsu

 

[Deleted-119707]

its not much of a hack, just some translation on the skin.

oh, i just thought that you should/could give a link to the skin instead of making people downloading the 20+mb for it if they already got moonshell 2 installed.

or 'READ MANNUAL FOR ADDITION FEATURES!'
