PSPComic v0.9 Beta

[Chameleon]

Archaemic posted this release:

Finally! Someone got around to programming a comic book reader for the PSP that reads cbzs and cbrs directly from the memory stick. It's a little slow, as would be expected from a program that resizes such large images on such a slow processor, but fortunately, you can overclock to 333MHz from the program itself. It's got all the good features, such as zooming, two different resample algorithms (one faster but harder to read, one slower but easier to read), rotation, and the like.

Source code is included. It is (mostly) GPL. This software is written by me, and Kip helped with the graphics and ideas.

If you encounter a bug, please send a full bug report to the email address listed in the readme or post it here. More details are inside the readme. This program is still in beta, so it might be buggy.

Put comics in MS_ROOT/comics. I hope you know how to install the program yourself. If not, read the readme. You'll need it.

The controls should be rather intuitive. If not, read the readme for more details on the controls.

Feel free to email me or post feature requests!

sounds ace, if my pc was working i would install it, can it be installed from a mac?

is it just a matter of transferring the files to the correct folder?
i am running 3.03OEc

yes it can if there is something that opens rar archives

To the guy who's still on PePviewer... Seriously... switch your ass to this.

It annoyed me that I had to open up CBR and CBZ before. This program actually has it all sorted. Speed is surprisingly good too for a first release.

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT RELEASE.

Wow, you nailed it pretty much with this release!

About the only feature I would want is a way to reprogram the buttons -- It's nice to be able to to rotate the image for portrait mode but using the standard buttons can get a little cramped. Also keeping the same zoom/rotation settings when going to a new page would be useful.

I didn't see much difference between the two resample algorithms but I only used one comic so the results may depend on the source material.
