Comic Book Viewer

You can find it here
From the site:
* The PC part which converts your pictures into a .nds file (those pictures can be in a folder, a .zip, a .cbz, a .cbr, a .rar)
* The DS part (the generated .nds file) which allows to display the different pictures in a fast, pleasant and intuitive way (well, I hope;) ).

He released a sample of the program earlier but now he has released the PC part of it too.

I've been trying it out and so far I like it alot. It seem to have a bit of trouble if there are too many images in one file and some stylus jumping but it is a much better way to read comics than either Moonshell or DSO.

I was reading a section on the site and it say that it only works for files under 32 Mb, so if it is bigger you need to split the files (it is meantioned that later releases will do this for you). You can change the image size and quality to try and get it below 32 Mb. I would definitely recommend reducing the quality for the thumbnails.
This is still a great program for the first release.

All my files are under 32 megs

How big are you guys' files and about how long does it take you to convert a file? I'm just outputting 448kb files with no images.

liquidnitrogen · October 07, 2006, 01:15:03 AM

well, i spoke too soon.

i just tried the default one to see how it works.

in theory it works great. but the only problem i'm facing is how to convert it. it always freezes at some point.. -.- like what SmashAdams said, 448kB

sigh, it doesnt... work... i guess i just need a later version to fix it... :/

What kind of images you trying to convert. I used jpgs and they worked just fine.

liquidnitrogen · October 07, 2006, 01:48:50 AM

jpgs, pngs

i tried it on about 8 images from an online toon... worked fine

what i really want is to read manga on the ds.. i tried death note volume 1, but it froze after creating thumbnails. i thought it was 32 megabytes... and then i thouhgt it was perhaps 32 megabits (4 megabytes)

so i tried it on a 2.5 megabyte death note chapter 4 - to test it, and well.. it still froze halfway through... arg!
