When upgrading to Moonshell 2 on the R4 DS, I had to do the following:
Download kernel 1.23 from here:
http://www.r4li.com/download/r4_v1.23_kernel.html
Download Moonshell 2.05 from here:
http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/moonlight/
Unpack both archives.
From the kernel archive, copy the following files and folders to the root of your SD card:
_system_
_DS_MENU.DAT
_DS_MENU.SYS
Notice that the moonshl folder is omitted, since it’s an old 1.74 build.
From the Moonshell archive, copy the following files and folders to the root of your SD card:
moonshl2
moonshl2.nds
Additionally, you can copy moonmemo and any other skins and tools you wish, but the above files are the minimum you need.
Lastly, you need to RENAME moonshl2.nds to _DS_MSHL.NDS
Now, when you choose “music” from the R4 menu, it will boot moonshell 2 instead of either erroring out or making you exec it from the games menu.
Verified and working, copied using KDE 4.3.1 in Fedora 11. (Previous versions of KDE did *something* wrong and required that I use Windows to perform the copy.)
thank You Potato.

This R4 Card is easy and simple to use, Anyone who needs a guide this is what to do simply transfer the stuff you want onto a Micro SD card then simply insert it into the slot on R4 Card and put it in the games slot.
I have purchased from the following company and reccomend them for R4 Cards. R4 SDHC
Hi guys. The Kernel download noted in Potato’s comments does not seem to contain the _DS_MENU.SYS file that he mentions. I was hoping someone could give me an idea of where to get that file from. Thanks ;-).
What R4’s release?
You need to download the kernel from the link provided on the box.
kernels are not equal
my kernel 1.18 has got:
_system_
moonshl
_ds_mshl.nds
_ds_menu.dat
it mentions Kernel 1.23. If you download that file from the link provided there is no .SYS file as mentioned. I gather it will be necessary before I do the upgrade.
I think the sys file is created by DS after the first boot.
You’re a legend bancaldo. I will give that a shot !!!
Awesome list and great find, thanks for sharing this. Really
is a goldmine.
