How to Open MoonShell on the DSi

Nintendo DSi continues the company's legacy of excellent handheld video game platforms. Although the DSi excels at playing games, support for other types of media is lacking. The DSi, however, does have SD Card reading capabilities. When the MoonShell multimedia player is installed on the card, the platform becomes highly capable of playing a large variety of additional file types.
