DSe Notepad originally was a notepad application coded by Enira that only saved to the SRAM and opened a fixed file in the SRAM. It is put in a FAT open/save system, to make the application more practical.

Features

2 input methods:
- PA_Graffiti.
- Standard PA_Lib keyboard.
Basic text writing functions:
- New File button.
- Cut (removes selected text to clipboard).
- Copy (copies selected text to clipboard).
- Paste (pastes text on clipboard into current cursor position).
A basic about screen.
An INI configuration system (see CONFIG.ini).
More graffitis added to the draw system.
3 Color Schemes (Purple, Red, and Green).

Installation

Download and extract file.

DLDI patch .nds file and copy it to the root directory of the card.

User guide

Cut/Copy

Breakpoints are used in the cut/copy functions. Use the following steps to cut/copy text:

Use the cursor to scroll to the beginning location of what you want to cut/copy, then use Y to place a breakpoint.
Use the cursor to scroll to the ending location of what you want to cut/copy, then use Y to place a breakpoint.
You can now press the cut/copy button. This will cut/copy any and all characters you have between the breakpoints.

Pasting does not require any breakpoints; just move the cursor to where you want to paste.

Configuration

INI Config System:

This system is not required, but the default functions are as follows:

Keyboard Color: 0
Save Location: "/DSENOTEPAD/SAVES/"
Open Location: "/DSENOTEPAD/SAVES/"
Overall Color: 0
Default File Extension: ".txt"
Use TD_Graffitis: 1

TD_Graffitis:

The graffitis that added/included to the drawing system (can be disabled in the CONFIG.ini file to provide better compatibility with other similar letters) are:

numbers (0-9)
the "!" mark
the "@" sign

Controls

Left/Right - Moves cursor 1 character left/right

X - Swap screens for precision cursor positioning

Y - Insert breakpoint

L/R - Scroll up/down

Known issues

Watch out on the scroll functions; sometimes they mess up.
Excessive use of the backspace button sometimes locks the app.
Excessive use of the paste button sometimes locks the app.
Every once in a while the cut fails.
Be cautious about pasting over one line of text. 99% of the time this results in a scrolling failure.
Be cautious about writing over one line at a time. Press Enter at the end of your line. If you don't, sometimes the scroll will fail.

Changelog

v0.99

Added Color Schemes.
Added More Graffitis.
Added INI Config System.
A few minor bugfixes.
