EDIT: Soft-reset while in moonshell still not working ;o

---------------------------------------------------------------

I use Chinese version. Soft-reset in moonshell works fine.

Press just start button not L+R+A+B+X+Y.



start button does not work either.

That's strange. In chinese version 1.06, Soft-reset in moonshell works fine.

I've tried once more a few seconds ago, it still works. I use moonshell including in R4 OS 1.06 Chinese version.

Oh my god...

While I am writing this post, R4 official Chinese Homepage has just erased the Soft-reset function in Moonshell.

How long time we wait for the next R4 OS release!!!

hmmm, .txt files don't seem to be showing up at all in the r4ds menus (i put the .txt file in a folder called eBooks). but they are showing up and are readable in moonshell... anyone else not having them come up?

They said it would support ebooks, not .txt files.

what extension do ebook files have?

 

[BoneMonkey]

yeah i cant find ebooks anywhere lol

It can vary. There's a bunch of different formats, .txt actually being one of the lesser used formats. They don't specify what formats so I'm gonna try a couple and report back

Ebooks are .txt files. And normally you cann't see those files.

Press select button then you will see *.txt files and others. You can read *.txt files directly in R4 OS.

Yeah, *points up* lesser used format like I said, mainly because they are easily editable by others.

Nah, it does support .txt ebooks.
Actually took me a while to figure it out.
The select button now rotates between 3 modes - Games, Files & Ebooks.
Select the ebook mode and then open the .txt file.
Create the saver and then viola, it should open.
Read the instructions on the firmware page on what the buttons do.
I'm reading at an .txt ebook now and to tell you the truth, the moonshell version is a lot better because it supports the touchscreen.
Hope that helps.

If I understand correctly, we will see reset in the next official release of MoonShell

 

[BoneMonkey]

got it to work too i made my own txt ............ god reading is lame lol

 

[Katalyst]

Yeah, yeah. They said that 100 years ago when 1.6 was the next final release of MS.

anyone have tried eBooks in .pdf format ?

 

[Deleted User]

Just updated my fimware to 1.06 English. I'm guessing we don't need the "shell" folder anymore. Soft reset in moonshell gives a crash screen. and E-Book is nowhere to be seen.

 

[khaiyak]

Yep, tried. It doesn't support PDF format.

 

[BoneMonkey]

pdf format dont work

ebook folder is in the _system_ folder

and yeah shell is gone wierd

The "shell" folder was renamed to "moonshl" ever since the 1.6 betas.

 

[jtroye32]

I've been playing around a bit with it and think they need to:

-make .txt and other ebook files unhidden by default

-not have letters (like the bottom of g) cut off at the bottom when using anything but the largest font in the the ebook viewer

-get that moonshell reset to r4 menu dealio working

Thanks. I didn't know that. I just used the kernel and the "shell" folder still worked fine back in 1.06 beta.

Pressing L+R+X+Y+A+B in moonshell is giving me an error screen. anyone else get the reset to work?

no, they say on their site that they will have it working in their "final release" of 1.06. i guess they had it implemented but took it out for some reason.

the update includes moonshl, system, ds_menu and _DS_mnshl_nds, do i have to paste it all in my SD card?

That's all I did. I also deleted a folder called "shell" it seems like it's not needed anymore. I only did that because I've had my R4 for a while now if yours is new you won't have to.
