Jeremysr made a trivia game for the DS, which is supposed to work a lot like IRC Triviabots but with only one player. It gives you a hint by showing the answer with all the letters replaced by dots, and starts revealing more dots every time you get the question wrong.

The game comes with a questions file to put on the root of your card. It contains 10 000 questions from an IRC Triviabot.

A protracker files (.mod) replay routine for Nintendo DS, it’s a direct conversion from the original Amiga one so it’s should be as accurate as possible, also it handles modules from 4 to 16 channels and it’s very small.

DualSlot Browser lets you browse and copy files to the filesystems available. Meaning if you have two FAT based flashcarts inserted, you will have access to both! Be aware this is a very basic version.
