Re: I've got a R4 now, but pieces of the puzzle are still missing

Always get the specific firmware for your flashcart (if R4 for instance.). If you have an R4III, then get the III firmware.

New R4s and clones don't have springs, meaning they don't jump out. My spring broke a while ago, which nearly damaged my MicroSD (got jammed severely). I took it out and it's working fine now. It's a good thing it doesn't have a spring, safer for your MicroSD.

Playing music and movies etc. on your DS with your flashcart won't harm any of them at all. It's safe (not including brickers or fakes that damage with a firmware update or game playing).

Moonshell is the homebrew that most flashcarts use for their media portion (even though they don't do shit all, except R4 and others that include moonshell with their firmware, unlike DSTT which just has moonshell amongst the firmwares, it's got a crap menu interface anyway.)

It's a multimedia player. Basically you can listen to music (mp3, ogg, mod, mid, aac), view images (jpg, bmp, gif, png), watch movies (converted to NDS Mpeg with Super or BatchDPG or something similar) and view text files (.txt, .ini etc.). It can also read .mse files (can only read and load reset.mse, which is included with some flashcarts, so it resets straight back to the flashcart menu). Some flashcarts have different moonshell options due to them modifying the source code to load .nds files etc.

DS Browser is probably the Opera Web Browser you're talking about, the official Nintendo ROM. It's a web browser basically for your DS which requires a RAM expansion for your slot 2 cartridge flashcart device with the original Slot 2 ROM image loaded on your slot 2. Ability to boot to Slot 2 (R4 can) helps a lot too. Also called GBA Mode. If you get a EZ Flash V you should be able to use Opera browser a lot easier, since they designed the Slot 2 flashcart of the EZ Flash V "package" mostly intended for the browser, also keeping 10MB, same as the RAM expansion pak that comes with the original browser when purchased, I believe.

 

Thanks Anandjones.

 

I'm annoying, I'm knowledge thirsty, but sometimes plain stupid. R4?

well, should i copy the games/music/movies to the root of the SD card or a specific place, i got a R4 III.

 

Re: I'm annoying, I'm knowledge thirsty, but sometimes plain stupid. R4?

You should have just asked this in your last topic. You can put them anywhere in any folder, because once you load the middle option of your R4 GUI labelled as Multimedia, it'll load moonshell (don't mind the warning at the start). Moonshell has a file browser built in (obviously, otherwise you couldn't look for anything to watch/listen to.). Then just browse to the folder where you have your multimedia, and then just click A on it.

 

Sorry, and thanks for helping, , i could be an idiot sometimes.
