DS could have a PDF viewer?

MasterMan · July 18, 2006, 04:15:21 PM

I friend of mine and some guys, including myself, are keeping a montly free DS magazine. Made in PDF format and distributed in our forum.
My request is if we could have a PDF viewer in DS. Like see the whole page in miniature in the touch screen and move as in the GIF i did here:

Seeing as even N-Gage has a PDF viewer, i think DS can handle it. Don't know if are there any free portable PDF libs out there.

Maybe my GIF can be a good idea as a manga/comic scan reader

So what do you guys think? SDL has this kind of use? Or C#?

Good idea. But until that happens, couldn't you just release it in jpg or bmp form? Moonshell could be used to handle them.

I hate the way moonshell handles images.
I have a hentai manga scan in my card and i hate it.
I can't even move to next page without going back to menu. R&L mmoves from page 1 to 25 or so.
Maybe if there's a way i tweak the global.ini to act as in the GIF... could i?

I LOVE your idea and i also hate how moonshell dispays pics. I wish somebody could make one just like that.

YAY Dudu.exe, i was just thinking about him.
Maybe he could only allow us to make like this with more options for the JPEG plugin in global.ini. I think it could be done without major dificulties.
