Hacking R4i - Language.dat

[Yoshi128k]

I discovered something about language.dat— It's editable!
I had discovered, as I was using HxD, searching for anything human-readable in the kernel files of the R4i(-)SDHC, that language.dat could be edited, mostly, with any hex editor (including HxD).

Screenshots

To hopefully fix the grammar mistakes throughout. Editing language.dat essentially changes what text is shown in the menus for each language.
