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.

Note: Current version 0.8.2 has a lot of bugs. New version 0.9.0 will be ready as soon as possible, meanwhile I recommend to use alpha version Tinke rev153.zip (05/31/2013)

To run the program you must have installed .NET Framework 4.0
