ANN: ReadMore Alpha, an Ebook Reader for the NDS

**MFrost42** · September 6th, 2007, 10:15

I've been using readmore on a supercard for a while now but all of a sudden it will no longer open to where I left off or even open the same file, it just goes straight into the introduction passage. It also gives an error message when trying to preview the different fonts and won't change from the default. I've tried everything I can think of up to and including removing everything on my card and just keeping the os and the readmore.nds file with the data folder and my .txt files and still no change, does anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?

I think if the author of this and the Author of DS Reader got together and collaborated the end result WOULD be the perfect eBook reader.

This one lacks a polished GUI but I like the sideways orientation and the fact he bookmarks work, though I dunno about three colored bookmarks... IMO the overall navigation could use some work as well.

If you take the touch screen page controls and sideways orientation option and add it to the highly polished DS Reader so that you could have it either sideways or upright, WITH the touch control of page turning and fixed the bookmark issues in DS Reader it would be perfect.

Wish I could find contact info for Eddie Park and try to con him out of his source code...

Was DSReader even started? As far as I could tell, it never got past the design stage.

DSReader was an entry in the GBAX2007 competition. I think you're thinking of Flip which has been talked about and seems to have most of the features I would want but hasn't actually seen the light of day.

Thats right, Flip, excellent design but no software.

I downloaded this and patched it with DLDIrc to fit G6 Flash and put it on my sister's DS as a birthday present for her (She's a bit of a bookworm and we can't usually afford books :P) but when I run it it comes up with a blank white screen, so (DETERMINED to get it to work) I went through the files, found ReadMore.nds and tried to run it. Same problem. It only worked when I chose "Add Header" (don't know what it's supposed to do) and then it only worked properly on the bottom screen, the top screen went so dark that any and all words are impossible to read.
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
