    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.)

    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
