Sorry if this has been posted som where else- is there anything to read ebooks on my ds using the r4 and what is the best snes emulator for it?

What format are your ebooks in? If they're in .txt format, you can use DSOrganize or Moonshell or the application released just today that lets you hold the DS sideways like a book (see http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=12810 for details). As Moonshell is built directly into the R4 firmware, you can probably just click on a .txt file and it will display it.

If it's in .pdf format, it would probably be better to export it into either .txt or JPEG format, using either the above tools for .txt or an image viewer for JPEG. Comic Book DS might be good for that, as it's a very professional image viewer.

For SNES, you've got two options, SNES DS and SNEmulDS. Of the two, I'd recommend SNEmulDS, the latest version being v0.4 final. Patch the file with DLDI, add your SNES games to an "SNES" folder on the root of your card, and boot it up. Play with the settings until things appear right. See http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/SNEmulDS_Compatibility_List for an incomplete list of some working games and what settings to use for each.

I use DSorganize or Moonshell to read text.

Don't know about the R4, but on the M3 Simply you can also open .txt files from the 'Game' menu ...

edit: Just had a look at ReadMore (link in previous post) and it looks great!!

6) Read the eBook

Select the eBook in the game menu, and open it by pressing 'A' key or touching the icon.

It will ask whether to create a bookmark if it is the first running. Pressing 'A' key or touching the 'Confirm' button will create and then open the bookmark; Pressing 'B' key or touching the 'Cancel' button will not run the process; Pressing 'X' key or touching the 'Ignore' will open the eBook without creating the bookmark (The bookmark's function is invalid).

Press 'START' key to exit the eBook mode and back to the main menu.

Click “SELECT” key to switch the character layout horizontally on dual screens, vertically on dual screens or on one screen (mostly used in Asian layout); Backlight turns off under one screen mode in order to save power.

Press the 'Up/Down' key can process the Row Up/ Row Down; Press the 'Left/Right' key can process the Page Up/Page Down.

Press 'A' key can open/close the intelligent-paragraph division function.

Press 'B' key to change the font (large, Medium, Small in rotation)

Press 'X' key to change the font color (27 color in rotation).

Press 'Y' key to change the row spacing (From 1-8 point space in rotation).
