Problems with Moonshell 2 and EZ Flash 3 in 1

What were your favourite DS Homebrew from back in the day?

I'm thinking of making a video about the original R4DS cartridge as it was my very first delve into any kind of messing around with consoles and felt super nostalgic finding it under the bed yesterday! Also makes for a good excuse to re-shell, & re-battery my 2 consoles ahaha. I recall a few things that blew my mind about it over time like, working out how to convert movies to watch on the DS, MSN messenger, Modding ROMs then putting them back together to play on OG console, and homebrew (emulators mostly). Probably the biggest thing was an SD card for released that it was so small it could fit in a DS Cartridge 😂 So, I wondered what some of your personal favourite things to do with your R4 (or any of the other thousands of flash carts) were? It'll be difficult to show off MSN messenger of course, but I've got a VGA video filmed from one of the first phone cameras 18 years ago on an old channel I can steal all footage from for that 😅 Also, I take it this is probably the best place to download the files to get it working again after all these years, right? https://linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ Any help or feedback appreciated!

Hello. I am having problems using my EZ Flash 3 in 1 lite sized expansion pack's RAM with Moonshell 2. Every time that I boot Moonshell 2, nothing is detected in slot 2, thus Moonshell 2 gives me the "Extention memory not found" message. I use the Supercard DS One SDHC v3 and the (New, not plus) 3 in 1 (called this under GBA EXPloader). The steps that I have taken to get this to work are listed below.

Method 1
Supercard OS 3.0 SP8 Booted
Moonshell 2 Booted (right now 2.04, but the EZ Flash has never been detected, I have used every version since 2.00 beta 1)
Moonshell 2 Loads Moonshell 2 reload.dat
No memory detected

Method 2
Supercard OS 3.0 SP8 Booted
GBA EXPloader v0.58b Booted
in GBA EXPloader, I scroll over to the page with Rumble and RAM options
in GBA EXPloader, I scroll down to expansion RAM
GBA EXPloader soft-resets back to Supercard OS 3.0 SP8
Moonshell 2 Booted (again version 2.04, I have used every single beta and stable version to no avail)
Moonshell 2 Loads Moonshell 2 reload.dat
No memory detected

I know for a fact that the RAM is not broken, because I play GBA games on it, and I use it for NDS Browser memory (it may be worth noting that the DS browser does not detect the RAM from the EZ Flash 3 in 1 cheat code, only detects it from GBA EXPloader).

Thank you very much for any help, it will be much appreciated.
