cycloDS & dswiki

My CycloDS Evolution had arrived last week, but I've been waiting for the 4GB microSDHC card for over a week. It finally came in today! Woot! I pretty immediately upgraded the CycloDS firmware, put on new skins and moonshell... then... DSWiki!

DSWiki works pretty much as expected. It's just the text of an XML database dump (no images), so it has very little markup (just line breaks.. sort of). The navigation is a little awkward, but the keyboard works well... except for the fact that when viewing the Wikipedia dump, it takes forever. Of course, the wikipedia dump is also 3.4GB. Wikiquote and wiktionary are both very quick. Links within the articles work as they should. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with it and poking around, I've already read a few articles I haven't before, so that's worth something I guess.

If I can figure it out, I'd love to get a database dump of the Marvel Database from Wikia.
