i thought doing a visual novel would be cool and i thought i would get to learn about compression and stuff. i didn't. the method to actually find and extract the text was actually 5 logical lines long. and three of them were just writing stuff to file...
if anyone wants to pick this up, there isn't THAT much text, some 400 kbs of actual text...
to work it, unpack the rom, put the .exe into NDS_UNPACK/data
or just take out all the .scd files and throw them all into the same folder.
if anyone wants to pick this up, pm me and i'll add the insert function.
the rom itself is really really simple, from a haphazard glance. all the graphics are in the .bin files and everything is labelled with nice descriptive file names. I haven't tried testing anything yet since my computer's to slow to run a 256 Mb game on the no%, so i don't know about the font, but I do know that there are two files called "fontbase12.bin" and "fontbase14.bin", so I guess it shouldn't be hard to change it if need be. I'd actually recommend this game for beginners. You won't have to spend too much time looking for...anything, really...
edit: nvm. the font is actually really pretty, as you can probably tell from the screenshot below, so you probably won't need to worry about that. i do not know about battle graphics or menus or stuff since i haven't actually played the game yet, but the files themselves look fairly simple.
here's the extractor:

edit: just realized that i made a really stupid mistake in the inserter. i will fix it and reupload it sometime soon...
here's a spreadsheet:
