    Thanks in advance.

    I have read through Mr. Hanky's tutorial and I am having a couple of problems:

    1st- Formatted my micro SD card (Sandisk 2 gb)
    2nd- I have downloaded from kiwiclx the M3_DS_Simply_System_v1.07 then I extracted it to my sandisc 2 GB card. The entire folder is on my micro card.
    3rd- I have downloaded moonshell, then extracted it to my microcard. The entire folder and _DSMSHL.NDS have been saved to my micro card.
    4th- I have renamed the _DSMSHL.NDS to Moonshell.nds
    5th- I can not locate the file _DS_MSHL.Sav Looked in all the folders and subfolders and can't locate this file.
    6th- I have created another folder titled GAMES, and put all my backup games into this folder.

    So when I plug my card and reader into the computer I have 3 Folders (Simply, Moonshell and Games) and then one file named Moonshell.nds.

    When I turn on the Nintendo DS Lite I get an error message Couldn't find _DS_MENU.DAT on a blank screen

    Please help

    Take the files in your "Simply" folder and put them into the root, they can't be in a separate folder. The Moonshell file needs to be labeled _DS_MSHL.NDS if you want to use the "Media" option on the M3 start screen, it also needs to be in the root.

    nintenut- Thank you for your response. How do I find the root to put all theses files under.

    The root is the base of the card, no sub-directories, this just means the files can't be in a folder. :p
