TxtWriter is a text writing program. Using the virtual keyboard, you can type out a message that can then be saved to a CF card in a device such as the GBAMP. Button assignments for shift, backspace, space, and return make typing a little easier and are paralleled on both sides for left- and right-handed people.

You choose your own filename for the text files, but it only saves it to a folder named "TXT" in the root directory. There is also a 256 line limit for text files.

v0.3 sports a redesigned interface along with intra-document editing, allowing you to move around within the text file to make changes. Dialog boxes have been added to aid in user input options and alerts.

Features

  • Save, read & load, and delete files from a CF card in a GBAMP and M3 with overwrite confirmation.
  • File menu with an alphabetized file list.
  • A working virtual keyboard with shift/caps, button highlighting, and F-key support.
  • Custom font.
  • Word wrapping and line scrolling.
  • Document navigating with home/end/page up/page down & arrow keys with a cursor.
  • Mirrored button key assistance mapping non-character keys for aided text input.
  • Dialog boxes for user input, selection confirmation, and information alerts.
  • Looking pretty snazzy.

Installation

Download and extract file.

Copy TxtWriter.nds to your CF card along with TXT folder if there isn't already one on your CF card.
