Hacking Moonshell help please?

[1man1dream]

Hey, I'm a complete total newbie with moonshell, I'm looking for a guide on how to get it to run. My specs are black nds lite flashme, ez iv lite, 1gb sandisk transflash. Please post/link me to a tutorial/guide on how to get moonshell up and running please, thanks

Head over to Infantile Paralyser's site and grab the latest Moonshell and DPG tools.
Put your microSD in your reader/writer.
Extract the Zip somewhere and run the Setup.exe file that was in it.
Assuming you want Moonshell in English click OK.
Select your microSD from the drop down menu and click OK.
Click the "All clear" button in the top right of the Setup window.
Reselect the EZSD EZ Flash 4 (SD Card) check box.
Click the "Setup" button.
Click OK.
Put the microSD back in the EZ4.
Boot the EZ4 and select the Moonshell file.

Anything else you want to know?

Thanks, worked first time. Would just like to know what your settings are for the dpg converter, since when I tried converting a video it only had the sound =/

If possible post a screenshot please? That way I can just mirror the settings and hope for the best

Mostly I just use the defaults, sometimes adjust bit rates for quality or the volume. I've only had the problem you describe on a couple of the videos I've converted. No amount of messing w/ the settings in DPG Tools fixed it so I ended up using a separate program to convert them from the format they were in to generic AVI's.

Thanks for the reply. Would using videora ipod converter with adjusted settings work? if so, which settings/resolution?

I've never used the program your talking about, but a quick look at the website makes me inclined to say no. DPG is exclusively for Moonshell and the DPG player included w/ it for the PC, it's unlikely that any program like what you mentioned would ever support output to DPG.

What I used on my problem files was River Past's Video Cleaner Pro, converting them from whatever format they were in (eg MP4, WMV, etc) to just plain AVI's which, in my experience, DPG Tools handles better then most other formats it is supposed to support. Then of course I still had to use DPG Tools on the AVI file that Video Cleaner output.

There are other programs that do what Video Cleaner does, that don't cost $80.

Some time w/ your favorite search engine should turn one up.

Sorry for the bump but no one mentioned BatchDPG which I use. Great piece of software.
