DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries. It is NOT a web browser.
This homebrew is optimal for all people with a Nintendo DS that like to have their information "portable", but cannot access the Internet directly.

NewDictS can display an uncompressed dump, but this dump is outdated, and the Wikipedia has grown dramatically since then, so compression was absolutely necessary. In addition, most homebrew programs can't handle UTF-8.
