- For Versions 2.07 to v2.10: Youtube Video
- For Versions 2.08 to 2.09: Youtube Video
- For Versions 2.05 to 2.06: Youtube Video

To Install Moonshell
The easiest way is to download the latest version from Moonlight Website (Current/Final version 2.10)
- Insert your Flashcard microSD card into your PC card reader
- Either run the EXE or Extract the ZIP file, depending on which version you download
- In the extracted file is a program called 'Setup.exe' - Run this
- Select the drive that represents your MicroSD card and click on [Install to ...]
- In the next box place a tick in the 'Open More' box & Select which options you would like (dustbox/Moonmemo/extra languages/plugins etc)
- Click the Update button to continue
Moonshell will then install all the necessary files to your MicroSD card
It is also recommended that after it has been installed - you should run the 'LanguageSelect.exe' file to select the correct language. If you don't use this program - then you should run the 'moonshl2.nds' file FIRST when you've inserted your Flashcard & switched on
- Remove your MicroSD card from your PC & insert into your Flashcard
- Insert into your DSPhat/DSLite/DSi & switch on
- Run either 'moonshl2.nds' or 'moonshl2_directboot.nds' to run
