    Some help here would be great. I know this is a huge post but I didn't know what else to do. Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I'm not to good with computers but I did get the basics of my R4 working, then I decided to push my luck and customize my R4 and I think I messed up the organization of the folders. I tried to install moonshell and I also tried to intall an Organizer program. If I go into the moonshell program (the middle icon when the R4 boots up) it automatically starts a movie I can't select which one I wand and it gives a really quick message about an error that I don't have time to read, and I can't find my .txt files on my ds. This is how it is organized according to my computer. I got into almost all of my folders with the exception of the ones I created and the DSOrganize folder. [/SIZE]
    My Root Directory (F:) looks like this:

    Folders:

    _system_
    (This folder has a subfolder ebook, a Video CD Movie file called CHEAT, and a .bmp file called gbaframe)

    ebook folder has three "Video CD Movie file folders they are labeled FONTL, FONTS, and FONTM.

    English-1.15
    This has only one item, a subfolder labeled "English"

    English Folder has two items, one Video CD Movie file labeled "_DS_MENU" and a folder named "moonshl"

    moonshl folder has 15 items
    6 SAV files named:
    bookmrk0
    bookmrk1
    bookmrk2
    bookmrk3
    moonshl
    resume

    1 Font file titled "system"

    3 "Configuration Settings" files named:
    moonshl
    lang1
    lang0

    1 ANK File named "system"

    3 File Folders named:
    custom
    (this folder mostly has a bunch of 815 Files and two more File Folders labeled lang0 and lang1)
    skin
    (this folder contains mostly .bmp files a few mp3 files, and some others)
    plugin
    (this folder has a ton of "Windows Installer Patch" files, quite a few .txt files, some configuration settings files, a BIN file, and a MSE file)



    DSOrganize (If I go into this folder from my ds it has a bunch of subfolders with nothing in them)

    Games (I created this folder)

    Homebrew (I created this folder)

    Movies (I created this folder)

    Music (I created this folder)

    Then I have a few other things

    _DS_MENU (my comp says this is a "Video CD Movie" file)

    _DS_MENU (this is showing as a system file)

    _DS_MSHL.NDS (obviously a nds file)

    English-1.15 (this is a WinRAR archive file)

    MPSetupXP (my comp says this is an application file)

    PrintTags (application file)

    MasterMindDS Manual (Text Document )

    DSOrganize.ds.gba (GBA file)

    DSOrganize.nds (If I try to run this on my DS it says "Please wait...Initializing FAT. and it shows a dancing cow but nothing ever happens)

    DSOrganize.sc.nds (If I try to run this on my DS it loading and shows the loading bar but it never loads and I have to shut my ds down)
    DSOrganize.SAV

    Well backup all your games or movies etc. you want, and then delete all the rest of the system files, download a new kernel and then put it back on. Then you should make a whole new folder for DSOrganize (that's what I did) since it has a lot of files and then put your games and movies back on and it should work. And this hasn't been addressed anywhere else. Next time, don't try to change the system files as this can screw it. Moonshell is part of the R4 kernel. Redownload DSOrganize and only keep the DSOrganize.nds file and all the other files instead of ds.gba and sc.nds since this is the only you need. ds.gba is for Slot 2.

    The error message is just there. There's nothing wrong. If Moonshell freezes when loading, then there will be reason to read the message. View the text files in Moonshell. Those "Video CD Movie files" are just .DAT files, and your computer's settings mistake them for something else. Get rid of DSOrganize.ds.gba and DSOrganize.sc.nds. You don't need them. DLDI patch the DSOrganize.nds file.
