Just a note, you can also install those on your computer.
Go to this site
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/index.php and download first the GTK plus runtime environment program and install. Then download the Stardict-2.4.8 (for windows) and install that (in this order) then go searching for dictionaries
here
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.phpand follow the rest of the instructions on this page (here you can search for whatever dictionaries you want. As it says, the tarball files are the ones you want to download for just the dictionary, the other file, if available is a bunch of wav files I believe). Pretty sweet. If you do it this way you dont need to use 7zip to extract again. Just extract once and place them in the C
rogram files/stardict/dic file as they are.
I have not tested it on my Simply yet, due to my USB ports being screwed on my computer, but, already the 2.5mb limit looks like a hassle. On the computer there is no limit. You can have the crazy ass Chinese to English bi-directional 21st century science dictionary if you want with 800 000 entries!
For those on the DS
download the appropriate ROM on your DS. Patch it with the appropriate DLDI.
Then download one of the dictionaries the same as before. However, you will need to use 7zip to extract the DZ file and make it into a dict file. Then just follow the rest of the instructions as pointed out above. There is only two things you need to do with the files. One is extract them using Winrar etc. Then go to the DZ file and extract that with 7zip so to make it into a DICT file.
FYI, in the Winrar extracted file you will have a subtitle file which is the .idx file mentioned, a DVD file, which is the IFO mentioned and a DZ (.dict or .dz but you need to extract with 7zip as said) file.
Hope that helps.
