It's hard to really know, as the documentation is very poor - it mentions files and directories that don't exist and is overall not very useful. Only the two files mentioned called _DS_MENU.DAT and _DS_MSHL.NDS exist in the install set, so for the rest of the instructions you just have to guess. If anyone figures it out, I would love to hear about it :). Also if someone finds an app that will actually run (apart from the supplied moonshell), that would be good to know too. I really bought this device to play homebrew games with, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with them :(. Looks like it is intended for use with pirated ROMs only.
