Best way to read Manga on DS


SoftWare Needed:.

XAT IMAGE OPTIMIZER PRO 3.51 - http://rapidshare.de/files/27852315/XAT_IMAGE_OPTIMIZER_PRO_3.51.rar.html

and

MOONSHELL 1.31 �" http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/moonlight/moonshell131.zip


Tutorial:.

1 - First you will have to convert on the computer all the pages of the sleeve for optimum comfort in the reading in the DS.  

1.1 - Open XAT IMAGE OPTIMIZER, and go to option “File” and later in Wizard Batch (Or simply Ctrl+B).



1.2 - Now push in the button “Add Files…” and choose the images that you want it to convert, and later press in “Advancing” or "Advance" or "Next".



1.3 - It will appear this window, and in itm leave the configurations accurately as they are in the photo, only changes the Output Directory for the folder for where the converted archives will go, and later it press in the border “Transform”.



1.4 - Put the configurations accurately as in the photo, 576 Height and 270 Rotate and the option Never Enlarge active Images.



1.5 - Press in "advancing" or "next" and later in optimizer… now you have to wait to convert all the images and to put the images converted into the card.


2 - In this second part you will go to adapt its moonshell to see sleeves in the two screens.

2.1 - Now moonshell opens archive GLOBAL.INI of its (this archive is inside of the folder “shell”) and goes until the part where] has [KeyRepeat and where it has DelayCount, it changes the value for 10.  P.S.: This part 2,1 is only for leaving the directional one in moonshell faster of what the normal one, if you to find fast excessively and not to like as it to be, small boat the old values again.



2.2 - And finally the part most important, go down the GLOBAL.INI until the part [ImagePlugin], and changes the GUITimeOutSec for value 1, and later it changes the ImageMode for 1, of this form now moonshell will go to show the photos in the two screens, later changes the DraFileInfo for “zero”, therefore with this active option (one) moonshell will go to show to the information of all the images that will be opening, thus harming the reading of mangá, and finally it changes the VerticalPadding for “zero”, thus moonshell will go to show the photo in the two screens, but without losing nothing of the image of a screen for another one, this is very important for who goes to read.



And now you only have to READ !

Nice Tutorial

I've already tried doing this before, but the big problem was "enjoyability". Manga spreaded on two screens, and need to scroll made this an unenjoyable experience for me. The DS' screen resolution is just way too small.

Reading mangas on DS is (IMHO) a bad idea

where can I download manga?  Could amyone pm me?

[Vasco]

Emule and Torrents, its the best way to download Manga or Anime.

[ssj4android]

This obviously isn't going to work with graphic novels. What resolution is the manga usually in?

[Vasco]

Actually it works very, very well with graphic novels, manga, and Comics.

I read Naruto from Volume 1 to 9 on my DS, and its actually pretty readable...
But i dont put the MoonShell to read the images, side ways... i read the normal way..
