AK2i + Moonshell with AKAIO firmware

Someone asked me if you could use AKAIO firmware with Moonshell 2/YSMenu combo instead of the official firmware - The answer is 'Yes' & this video is the proof

Since it's virtually the same thing as another video ( @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oW8P0jOkLY ) except the different firmware -I haven't bothered putting titles or music to it

UPDATE: There's been updates to Moonshell that prevent it running Commercial games - but theres also been 'workarounds'

One such package (for Acekards only) can be found @ http://gbatemp.net/t215395-moonshell-2-09-autobooting-on-ak2i.

Man, I can't seem to find good step-by-step instructions to get movies running on AKAIO...I know I have to put Moonshell in there, but really don't know where to start. Just wanna put movies on my kid's DS Lites.

@freestylenut : gbatemp.net has several forums with a lot of helpful tips & downloads etc.

However to put things simply - If you are going to use Moonshell you need to convert/re-encode the movies into DPG format.

If you download Moonshell's 'full' package you will find there's a PC program included called dpgenc.exe where you click-&-drag the movie onto it to encode to the proper format

Once converted you just need to copy the new file directly onto the memory card

does this work on akaio 1.6?

[CannonFoddr]

@Layzkie12 : No - Unfortunately the later Moonshell versions 'block' the running of either AKAIO or YSmenu. However there have been work around.

To make life easier - I actually made a 'package' that you just Unzip & copy over that has everything set up ready (Moonshell/Akaio1.6 - no YSMenu though, you don't need it)... I can't post weblinks in comments - So I'll add it to the Description

Is your dsi using the 1.4U firmware?

[CannonFoddr]

No - When I did the video I had 1.3E (European) installed.
