DSOrganize is meant as a homebrew organizer application for the Nintendo DS that should have come built in in the first place. It is by no means comparible to a full-fledged organizer such as a palm, and it is not planned to become an operating system, video player, or anything similar.

It came in the 4th position at the NEO Spring Coding Competition 2006.

  4. Extract the folder called DSOrganize to the root of your card
  5. Run from your card's apps menu

User Guide

To run DSOrganize, make sure you have unzipped or moved the entire contents (sans this readme) to your CF/SD/microSD card. There are several support files including help and resource files that need to be present for all of the features to work properly.

To boot DSOrganize, either set it as your shell (possible under GBAMP, DS-X or ninjaDS) or launch it from your card's menu. To get help on any specific feature, hold select on the screen and help will be displayed.

The recommended card solution for use with DSOrganize is the GBAMP, although this might not be practical in your situation. In that case, the CycloDS Evo card might be better.
