i'm having problems getting my images to convert. i'm trying to process "Death Note" and it always freezes when it's trying to create thumbnails. anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I'm having issues with the program and my G6 lite.
What I did:
made a nds file from my ultimate spiderman comic (around 30mb I think).
that went pretty fast. copied the sc.nds and the nds file onto my nds.
with one I get a white screen with the other one the program loads but doesn't the comic :-(
Any ideas how to fix that?
A step by step intruction for G6 lite would be great.
cheers

you can also extract them directly as a .cbr using a program called 7zip:So, how do i open the CBR files? Im a tad confused
Can someone write a simple guide for this?

QUOTE said:Troubleshoots and Remarks
  * If the source file is quite big (or if the folder contains a lot of files) the converted .nds file may be bigger than 32 Mb and then may not be loaded by your DS.
   A future version of the converter will automatically create multiple files.
   Until then, you will have to manually reduce the source files (by splitting the files into different folders).
  * The PC converter is currently only working for Windows (since it relies on windows dedicated programs).
   It is however planned to make it work on other platforms.
  * The V1.0 has a bug if your installation directory contains spaces (ie your windows desktop).
   Converting .cbr and .rar files might then create some incorrect 448 ko files.
   Workaroud : move your ComicBookDS folder (might be x:\. ..\ComicBookDS_V1.0) in a directory without spaces (ie c:\ComicBookDS_V1.0\).
   If there is one, remove the default.pds file (ie c:\ComicBookDS_V1.0\default.pds) in which the old directory was saved.
  * If the pictures to be converted are on a FAT32 partition, there might be and ordering problem (not alphabetically anymore) in the generated .nds.
   Workaround : put the files on an NTFS partition to apparently solves this problem. (thanks Michal for reporting this bug)
  * Converting very big images will make the pictods tool freeze.
   A fix will be done in next version.
   Workaround : try reducing the image before converrssion.
  * On the DS (or with the emulator bundled with the PC converter), if the image is not correctly displayed, or if the application crashes, try to reduce the quality and the width/height of the converted files (using the "Image Settings" option of the PC converter pictods)
  * On the DS , a small part at the far right of the image may be missing. Same thing for the far bottom part.
   This is a known bug.
  * A left handed mode and a manga mode will be added in the next version.

QUOTEThanks, you're right, i can reproduce the problem
(From a dir i get a 4Mb file, and from .cbz i get a 13 Mb :/)
I inform Nicom00k (here in CC) , who dit the PC tool, he might solve
the problem i guess
Thanks again
Francis.
Awesome. you answered pretty much all of my questions with your impressions. I figured the reason why some would work and others did not had to do with the size and this proved it. I love this bit of homebrew and I can not wait until the issues are addressed to make it even better.i wrote up my impressions on the program, and took some photos of it in action. you can check them out here.
i talked with the developer--he seems like a really nice guy, and is very eager to fix all the issues coming up with his future versions.
ive gotten it working using the G6lite. it works with cbr files but only if the cbr has been built properly.
if there are subfolders in the cbr it doesnt seem to work. take this for example
I open up my origins of wolverine comic and in the folder there is another folder, inside that is where the pics are located. this causes it to fail and creat e the 448k files as well.
the pics MUST be in the "root"(we will call it) directory of the cbr
