Right, R4 arrived today, so now proud owner of R4 and SCDS1.

Installed firmware 1.08 (latest) - installed fine, games work etc etc

HOWEVER, the media icon didnt work.

So I downloaded the installer for Moonshell 1.71 and installed that (yes I deleted the old version, and yes I renamed the file to _DS_MSHL.NDS)

Whenever I click on the Media icon, both screens go blank.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Really ?

The initial kernal version was drag and drop with no exe files to run on the OS. (as in the one that is in 1.08)

Same problem with that one too

Maybe try disabling resume function? And if that doesn't work try to only copy the simple .ini file with default settings only.

Like I say, did this with the 1.08 version of moonshell that is just drag and drop

It's possible, but who on earth would want to manafacture fake R4 carts? You'd make much more profit just by mass buying R4s from the factory & then selling them.

So you're sure you downloaded a full 1.08 ENG released firmware and unzipped everything to the root of your MicroSD?

Cos there are two versions
1) without moonshell
2) with moonshell, precompiled and definitely running on R4.

The difference in the two versions is about 4-5mb, e.g. the one that's in my FAQ is the smaller version to save website bandwidth costs

Ok, Ill try grabbing a new version (I was 100% but Im prepared to try anything or retry if it ends up working!) - I got the one off the MavisXP mirror I think (r4 site was down last night)

- On a side note, the _DS_MSHL.NDS file does actually run if I launch it from the games menu...

The plot thickens...

Ha, well that is strange. Anyways, please report your findings, because it might be that you have a faulty R4. But if reading roms work, then I wouldn't see why moonshell doesn't.
