Comic Book DS V1.0 Released!

[BlazedMonkey]

I converted the Jhonen Vasquez comic collection to .nds with it, if anyone is interested.

Included:
Bad Art Collection
Everything Can Be Beaten
Fillerbunny 1-3
I Feel Sick 1-2
Johnny The Homicidal Maniac 1-7
Squee! 1-4
The Ghost With Black Fingers

I would definately be interested in that, I've got the entire JTHM series in the hardback collection, as well as the individual comics, but I don't have the rest of Jhonen's work. I've got a comic or two to trade myself, although my collection is extremely limited, as I'm just really getting into the comic scene.

The .gba file works great on the EZ4, until you press the select button.

What is the select button for?

I'm interested too, can you point us to it?

When people do these scans do they cut up the books or just scan em...with the book folded. Thinking of doing my Sam and Max and Calvin and hobbes collections...not sure if I want to cut up books though lol

Is it okay to post a link to my torrent in here?

Frezzing the app on a EZ4?

Seriously I don't know, since it did not work. I think there is a description of what the buttons should do on the homepage.

It's supposed to change the brightness settings, and it seemed to work fine with the demo version the author had released. I haven't tested this version yet, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

I've seen a lot of examples of people doing it either way. Each method has their downsides: Unbinding the book leaves you with a messy pile of pages that can be scanned easily, while just scanning the book as is leaves you with a usable book, but the image tends to be a bit distorted and darker near the spine(-section of the page).

Yea, I was going to do it on the illegal side of it and not care about copyright laws. But I guess it is better safe then sorry now that I think about it

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but you can extract the jpeg files from a cbr file using 7-Zip Manager...then add the individual jpegs to the comicds converter. I'm trying to find room to put all of Sin City onto my G6L. So far the comics I've tested have worked great.

I tried another program the other day that is also pretty nice. It's a french to english, english to french translator for the ds. You can find it at http://www.palib.info/Roms/NewTranslator.zip. It's an interesting application that also works on the G6L using the file that has the sc.nds suffix.

I couldn't get any other method to work other then extracting all the jpeg's into one folder and then saying add folder in pictods.

converting is probably the biggest pain ever. it takes 5-10 minutes to convert a 20 page spiderman comic, granted, its all in color, but still! takes a long time. this applications only practical with short or black and white comics. converting a volume of marvel comics (In color) would take decades. thats my only tiff with the program, other than that, its GREAT!

realistically, this is probably the best way to do it for now anyway, mainly because of the issues I posted about a couple pages back:

EDIT: Holy CRAP!! I just figure something out after doing some more testing:
If I extract the files to a folder first, and use the converter with the "Add folder" option to convert them, the files are 10MB when finished (the exact same size as the original files in the folder). If I use the .cbz file I created, when the files are converted, the resulting .nds file is 20MB, twice the size of the other one!!! That's messed up!

Summary: If you use .jpg files in a folder, the .nds version is the same size as the original. If you use a .cbz, .cbr, .rar, or .zip, for some reason the resulting .nds file ends up being TWICE the size!

I seem to have problems when I try to boot the sc.nds file from the G6 menu. All I get is a white screen that just hangs there. What settings should I use to write the file?

You can use the Default Settings which is DoFAT.

Also make sure the file is not too big, i had problems with a file around 50MB. Try a different file just one or two pics and see if it works.

I just copy across with the default settings. I'm also using quite a recent version of the G6 sw, it might be worth upgrading if you still have issues.

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.

 

[JusDaMan]

so can anyone get this to work for SC?

I wanna put my crisis on infinite earth on it.


Edit: Nice pics on edgar and mitch's mom.
