  MediaPlay Extend is the interface for viewing ones pictures, videos and listening to music and viewing e-books. This is one feature you will not find on any other slot 1 card. All the other cards only use Moonshell ( www.sivullinen.fi—projects.php homebrew Application) to fulfill this task.

  MediaPlay-Extend has support for DPG /DSM / GBM movies. Once you have chosen the movie you would like to watch, the movie will start playing on the top screen. Press A or R to pause the movie. X/Y are used to adjust the volume. L to restart the movie. B to go and choose another movie. Touch on the screen to get the view bellow.
  100_0193
  Here one can see on the bottom green bar how far one is into viewing the movie. The volume control is great (using the X/Y buttons) one is able to make the sound very loud, It goes louder then I would ever need it personally.
   
  My Music
  100_0195
  The music player has support for both MP3 and OGG music. I like the music mode and find the quality to be great, I again could make the music nice and loud. There comes a point where the music is too loud for the DS’s little speakers. So one doesn’t end up frustrated with the music being too soft. You can choose to play the music with the following settings All, Random, repeat All, repeat One, Single, Rev Repeat and All Power OFF.
  There is a green bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how far you are into the song.
  You can close the DS and still listen to the music. You can also lock the keys so that if you bump your L or R key nothing will happen.
   
   
  My Ebook
  100_0200
  The e-book viewer is nice and has a lot of features. It is quick and easy to launch your e-book.
  Features include: The loading and saving of bookmarks, 7 different screen modes (double screen, like a book etc). Font size can be changed. There is also a key lock. There is a choice font change but all the different fonts were grayed out and not available.
  A nice e-book reader. It is not suitable for viewing the bible.(for this I would recommend DSOrganize with the Bible plugin - www.dragonminded.com—index.php (You will be able to use this when the DLDI driver is available) But for an e-book you are reading this is perfect.
