There are some hombrew programs out there that I think that just does not get enough love. I also think there are a lot of tricks or ways to utilize your DS, that I think are quite useful but are not well known. If you think you know any such things then please divulge.
-NewDict DS:
This homebrew is certainly underrated. I use this thing for Dictionarys and Translators and Encyclopedias I even got a Wikipedia dump, if that is not useful I don't know what is.

-Image Viewer:
http://mdxonline.dyndns.org/archives/2007/...wer_ver07.shtml
Well this is more of a tip than a underrated homebrew.
The main thing about Image Viewer is that it can support big picture files. Well what kind of image would you want that is big? Umm...maps? I use this thing and it is great for maps. I have the whole entire SF map on here. And with the ability to zoom in at 200% it is extremely effective.
The hardest part is finding a decent map. Well just use google to find a pdf version for your city map (use advance search)
And then use this to convert it to JPEG. http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2tif/index.htm You will have to convert again using Image Viewers own tool. (the program has its own format like dpg) And then presto! You have a map of your city.
-Any text reader.
I just realized this recently and I am surprised that I never thought of it before. I never thought of putting guides on my DS. It is quite convenient especially when I get stuck. All I do is go to gamefaqs for the guide and then I use Notepad ++ to make it the right size, so it will fit normally on my DS screen. Here I got this from moonbooks.net
Well those are my own little secrets. I wrote a lot more than I expected, but oh well .
I hope I get to hear some interesting things from you guys.

There you go it is quite easy. If you want to hold your DS like you do in Brain Age then just type 32 instead.QUOTE said:"First, I create a directory using the author name, then the file using the book name within it.
    Upon opening the file in Notepad++ I do the following steps.
     1. type 38, highlight 38, select copy, delete 38
    this lets Notepad++ know that 38 is the default width for the output file in characters.
    i do this because the version of moonshell i use does not support wordwrapping. the
    newest version may support wordwrapping, but i am assuming loading the text files
    in as straight ascii without wordwrapping is why everything loads, and us scrollable
    so quickly.
     2. under the edit menu, select the 'select all' option.
    this basically selects all text in the document
     3. under the textfx menu, select the textfx submenu, and then re-wrap the text to (clipboard of 72) width.
     this is where the copying 38 comes into use. textfx basically re-wraps all the selected text to the width stored in the clipboard."
Well those are my own little secrets. I wrote a lot more than I expected, but oh well .
