Changelogs
Latest version: MoonShell version 2.10 stable has no changelog - However it seems as though DSi can NOW use 'screen capture' function (setting found in GUI settings), not sure if this existed in previous 2.1 versions

Notice from Moonlight website!! NOTICE !! The disk driver had a fatal bug. Strongly recommended to update this.
Seems like the bug in 2.1 beta been fixed

From moonlight website<ul>Perhaps, this is the last test version. I do not think that there is a fatal bug excluding soft reset.
The EXE version and the ZIP version are the same content. Because the download size is small, the EXE version is recommended.
Please use setup.exe as much as possible and install it. To avoid trouble as much as possible.

For about one week. The stable version is scheduled to be up-loaded if there is no problem.
For five years when MoonShell has been developed up to now. I wish sincerely to express my gratitude for a lot of cooperation and 'All users'.</li></ul>There is also a new stand alone voice recorder added to the 'launch' folder

This translation of beta (still under development) version. Use of the session may be critical because it contains a bug, please be avoided.

- When you highlight an IPK file, the first image of the file now displays as a preview.
- Improved the stack overflow check.
- I've received reports that there's a problem with soft-reset on the DSTT, so I removed TTIO.nds from this release.

- Added a setting that allows you to pause a video during playback by closing the DS.
- Added ClearType Font compatibility to the Text Reader (it's disabled by default).
- Added a DLDI Patch Tool for flashcarts that are incapable of auto-DLDI patching.
- Added a memory check (GUID checker) when booting MoonShell2.
- Took another look at the plugin specs and reduced the amount of memory used.
- Added a MOD plugin (not exactly sure, but it should support mod/it/mtm/s3m/xm/669/med/stm/amf/gdm/ult/uni/asy/imf/okt/stx)
- The backlight no longer automatically turns off while playing a video (tap the bottom screen's filename bar to turn off).
- Added a GIF plugin.
- You can now exit MoonShell2 and return to the firmware. It's a type of reset plugin.

- Fixed a bug in which MoonShell2 would malfunction if you pressed multiple keys at the same time.
- The MDX plugin has been included all this time, so I removed it from this release.
- Fixed a bug in which the MP3 decoder would stall during a stack overflow.
- Corrected a mistake in the bootloader. While I was at it I sped up the boot time for MoonShell just a little bit.

Extra Functions I've Added:
- SwapDisp.txt: This file swaps the top and bottom screens of MoonShell's GUI.
- BBtnStop.txt: If you press B while playing an audio file, playback will stop.
- CarSuply.txt: Enables Vehicle Mode.
- Clust64k.txt: Used for particular MicroSD cards (please read the file carefully before using).
- ChkDskT1.txt: This will generate a detailed DiskCheck log (not normally used).
- Ignore16.txt: If your flashcart can't normally access a disk formatted in FAT16, this file will force it to run (not recommended).
- UseM4A.txt: This file enables the AAC/M4A plugin. It won't play most tracks.
- POffMEnd.txt: After the last audio file on the playlist has finished playing, the DS will shut off.

- You can now load certain files based on their filename extensions using external applications (but you can't exit back out to MoonShell2). (Refer to /moonshl2/extlink/Extended Link Readme.txt)
- Added Image Viewer as an Extended Link-compatible application (for .IPK files).
- Added an extra function to the "Misc Tools/Extras" folder that lets you switch the top and bottom screen displays.
- You can now load MoonShell2 on an 8GB card regardless of how it's formatted (Panasonic SD Formatter recommended).
- When an image is smaller than 512 pixels across, it will now display as a wallpaper on the File Launcher, just like on the File List.
- You can now scroll through text via the touch panel (the area that's not part of the scroll bar).
- Added the option to disable the L/R buttons when the DS is closed.
- Changed the size of "Launch_Tab0_Launch.png" and "Launch_Tab1_NDS.png" to 256x192 pixels.
- You can now capture any screen by holding down the SELECT button for 3 seconds (helps in making skins).

- Fixed a bug in which the command to restore all settings to default wouldn't work properly if you pressed A+B+L+R at the same time while booting.
- Fixed a bug in which if you enabled the option to hide file extensions, the extensions for the folder names wouldn't show.
- Fixed a bug in which unsupported files would display in the File List.

- Since there was plenty of memory, I removed the 4kbyte limit for io_dldi.s.
- You can now set the default code page for the Text Reader.
- For the text reader, in the top screen you can now choose to display text, time, or turn it off.
- You can now change the line spacing between text.
- Added some functions for use when the AC adapter is connected (I haven't decided what to distribute).
- Added L/R functions (single-tap, tap+hold, etc.). (Refer to KeyMap.txt)
- Took another look at the boot process, and made the boot time a little shorter.
- Changed it so that when you load homebrew, MoonShell2 will safely initialize the memory.
- Removed the slide controls, and layed out a new core for long-tap controls (I haven't built the core yet).
- Even if a file is highlighted and you tap a different file that's not highlighted, the file will now open with one tap (as opposed to requiring one tap to highlight it and one more tap to open it, two taps total).
- Fixed a bug in which using DiskCheck's writing test would corrupt the card.
- Fixed a bug in which the disk cache's memory allocation was misinterpreted, and would waste (100kbyte units of) memory.
- Fixed a bug in which DPG files would not play all the way through and sometimes even freeze the CPU.
- Fixed a bug in which auto-DLDI patching for homebrew wasn't always applied.
- Fixed a bug in which the Text Reader's character code conversion would violate memory access.
- Fixed the YUV-RGB conversion algorithm used by the DPG decoder.
- Fixed a bug in which the NDS would freeze if you closed or opened it while playing an MP3.
- Fixed a bug in which the GUI settings file would be corrupted after saving new GUI settings.
- Fixed a bug in which the File List number in Image Display mode was wrong.
- Fixed a bug in which the System Menu background would show the Initial Setup background instead.

Updated first post for Moonshell 2.10 for Translation Beta 1/2 and 3

Apache Thunder · Feb 5, 2010

Spotted an error in your first post. The note you left (the text in red) reads as follows:

QUOTE said:
NOTE: Apparently since Nov 8th 2010 - Moonlight (the developer)
has stopped working on Moonshell2. Full details can be found this thread

However there is an error in your date. I think it is supposed to read as this instead: (Changed text underlined)

QUOTENOTE: Apparently since Nov 8th 2009 - Moonlight (the developer)
has stopped working on Moonshell2. Full details can be found this thread

Just pointing out a minor typo with the date.

Nice job amaro! Keep up that stellar job at plagiarizing!!

Actual announcement is here: http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/moonlight/

CannonFoddr · Feb 8, 2010

Thanks both of you for the info - I've added a warning to the first post

personager · Feb 9, 2010

So the 16GB warning thing is only for Moonshell 2.10 Final Beta, right? Also, has anyone noticed that opening image files has become extremely slow compared to previous versions of Moonshell? I updated straight from v2.05 to v2.09 and opening image files was so much faster in the former

jurassicplayer · Feb 12, 2010

There is a new warning and a new final beta on Moonlight's website and it seems pretty important.

Click to expand...

Yes. gba_nds_fat still has too many bugs. Why I made r27 version of mshl2tools is I wanted latest libfat.
Actually last cluster bug is confirmed in DSOrganize too, but I don't know how to recompile it...
