NitroEdit is a NDS(i) ROM editor for the Nintendo DS(i) consoles themselves, which can be used in flashcarts, TWiLight Menu++, etc. to make custom edits of ROMs with the simplicity and the portability of this console family.
NitroEdit is the result of bringing the concept of already existing Nintendo DS(i) ROM editors to the DS(i) consoles themselves.
Note: Make sure you always keep a backup.

Credits
devkitPro's devkitARM, libnds and libfat are the basic components in order to make this project and most other DS(i) homebrew projects.
Some already existing ROM editors were really helpful in order to understand several file formats and LZ77 (de)compression: Every File Explorer, NSMBe5, MKDS Course Modifier and DS Sound Studio.
The following web pages were also really helpful in order to understand several file formats:
- https://www.romhacking.net/documents/%5b469%5dnds_formats.htm
- http://www.feshrine.net/hacking/doc/nds-sdat.html
This project uses lodepng and stb-truetype to support loading PNG and TTF files respectively.
This project makes use of a non-official TTF of the Nintendo DS(i)'s BIOS font, available here.
This project's icons were mostly grabbed from Icons8.
