MyWinS

A "mycomputer" app for ds/gba


Description:
The 'MyWinS app behaves as "MyComputer" does under windows, by providing a filer system for the DS/GBA.
The app will display available virtual drives and allow the contents of the drives to be viewed and the directory structure to be traversed by clicking on a folder to select it, then pressing the right shoulder button and clicking again 
(traverse back up the drive by using the ".." directory, drive root has no "." or ".." entries)
note: this DS version has a elusive bug in directory traversal

while on drives display selecting a drive then pressing the B button and clicking the drive icon again will bring up a drive information box, giving some data on it.
The filer system supports 15 character long names(includes the dot extension if the file has one), but will display only around 42 pixels worth of characters, before truncating the displayed name with "..." - similar to windows filer behaviour.
The virtual drives themselves are full fledge drive structures working similar to other real drives structures such as DOS/NTFS etc.

future info:
Currently the app is not complete, being expanded in the future to support Save RAM drives as well as the current Rom based drives, using SaveRAM these will allow files/folders to be dynamically created/saved, also there will be more than the folder/file icons displayed as well as independent access to files from external programs.  The DS version also currently has its drives statically linked unlike the GBA version due to not being able to build and test on real hardware.  It is hoped also that apps will be runable from drives in the future.

Keys:
mouse(under emu) or the touchscreen to select a icon
hold B button + touchscreen click to bring up info on a drive (requires the drive to be hilighted already)
hold Right shoulder button + touchscreen click to traverse a directory (requires the drive/directory to be hilighted already)
