This is a reader for Jim Breen's EDICT dictionary format (Japanese to Roman based alphabet languages).

It is more of a proof of concept for testing Edict file access and displaying one bit coded Japanese fonts.

PAFS (Mollusk's PA_Lib file lib) is used to embed the dictionary and other files in the NDS file.

Installation

Run the builddict.bat to build your NDS file. New NDS files containing the dictionary files will be created with the prefix "New". That's the one you will put on your flashcart/whatever you are using (it works fine on SC).

Note that you will need .NET framework installed (for PALIB PAFS.EXE).
