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.

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.
