I want to help!

Great!

There is need for some testing and spelling corrections. Create a new Issue or email @richelbilderbeek.

What are all those files in the folder Files?

The .txt files contain the story of 'City Of Thieves'. These are converted to C++ headers and source files by the FilesToFunctions.sh scripts. This was needed, because NitroFS (as part of libnds, as part of DevKitPro) does not support a filesystem on the NDS hardware.
