Viewer and editor for files of NDS games

C#GPL-3.0

Tinke

Tinke is a program to see, convert, and edit the files of NDS games. You can see a lot of format files like images, text, sounds, fonts and textures. Furthermore it works with plugins made in NET Framework languages (C# and VB.NET) so it's so easy to support new formats.

To run the program you must have installed .NET Framework 4.5 or mono. In the case of mono on Linux, make sure you have installed the package mono-locale-extras too. For Mac, you need mono and pkg-config installed and configured, you'll use mono32 to exec Tinke.

Tinke is discontinued and not longer supported. Will provide a new solution in the long term.
