## 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.
