News/release from Paco_777

Hello,
Here is My first DS project : "Comic Book DS".
It's a comic book viewer.

You can already download a sample of a comic book "La Vie de Norman"
A fully fonctionnal V1 should be soon available, allowing everyone to convert their comic books.

More information and download here :

Ooh, it does .cbr files! Now I can read Fillerbunny on the go without lugging my laptop around or having to worry about tearing my comic!

This looks fabulous! Can't wait to see the PC side of the program, hopefully it doesn't add too much overhead to the comic size. Why not simply load the comic .zip from the memory card?

Anyway, i love the interface. Will show my support if u put up a paypal donate button =) For now i'll just click the ad.

thanks

The .nds file is almost the same size of the cbz file.
The final size of the .nds must be less than 32 Mb (then some really big comic books may need to be splitted).
The PC tool should do this automatically.

I need to do some preprocessing on the PC for a quick display (technically, each page is resized 3 times : the real size, the miniature and the thumbnail)

moreover, unzipping a big zip file on the DS may take some time, and i'm not sure about the (future) compatibility of the FAT drivers.
I may study a FAT solution in a future version.

Excellent Paco, j'espere que ce sera compatible pour ma G6 lite plus tard, comme je vois qu'il risque d'y avoir des probleme avec le Fat, je suis donc concerné .... le G6 et formater en Fat snif!

will the pc side program be able to add ndsloader.bin for supercards?

oh wow, this is my first post lol......

[Shadowblind]

Now I always thought Hombrew would be the one to make this. o_0

Nice work though!

[Paco_777]

i have a supercard and i just put the .sc.nds file on my SD card. There is apparently no need to add the ndsloader.bin
(tell me if i'm wrong ... it may be specific to my supercard).


Regarding the G6, are you sure it's not compatible . i guess it's like with any other homebrew.

To the G6 users, have you tryed one of the 3 files "La Vie de Norman" on my page : http://gnese.free.fr/NDS/ComicBookDS/#download
none of them are working ?

Sorry, i don't know much yet about all the different card specifications.

[Hateshinai]

fantastic work. Keep it up!
