    After much cfw action on the psp I got a ds for a bit of variety - together with an R4. I would like to use the ds in much the same way as the psp - for games, music, video, homebrew apps etc.

    No problems initially - copied over the operating files to the micro sd after downloading them from the website (the latest version, 1.18) and then put some roms in a folder I created and called "NDS roms". They showed up and played fine.

    All good.

    However, I created folders for "music" and "video" and put mp3 files and .dpg files in each respectively.

    When I open moonshell from the main menu I see it execute some script and an error occurs but then seems to sort itself out. I can see the folders I created but not the contents. I've tried placing the folders in the root and also inside the moonshell folder, but still no joy.

    Any suggestions on where I'm going wrong?

    Ps - I used dvd fab to convert the video files.

    Sorted it!

    When I right clicked on the card and selected "properties" my empty 2Gb card was showing half full(!).

    So I used Swissknife (http://www.download32.com/compuapps-swissknife-v3-d30077.html) to reformat.

    This gave me my extra gig back and when I tried playing music and video through Moonshell afterwards it worked.

    BTW, the card was a brand new out of the box Kingston.

    Maybe try that yettibe? It only takes a few minutes to download and use swissknife.

    All the best,

    Super will change just about any format any other format.

    DVD fab is handy to rip direct from dvd.
