I can only speak to the R4 original.

Extract the archive (.rar or .zip) file to your PC, copy the following files/folders to the ROOT of you microSD.

_system_ (folder)
moonshl (folder)
_DS_MENU.DAT (file)
_DS_MSHL.NDS (file)

Insert into the R4, insert to the NDSL, and you should get Moonshell to boot.

As a user of technology you should familiarize yourself with some basic concepts of computer use, such as archiving, de-archiving, file format and copying. IMHO, these are basic skill sets required for survival.

I had the same problem, thanks for the solution!

Is the rd subject to the same regional limits, ie must I use europe only files.

Newbie here, please be patient!

Nope - DS is region free, so if you speak Japanese feel free to give those games a try

Thanks Kitty, I had seen ROM files with EUR and JAPAN in the file name, was concerned.

I will take some Japanese lessons! (imagine how expensive sushi would be if they had to COOK it?)
