Hooray for DLDI!

 

[Harsky]

Very nice. But I've been so used to reading manga on the PSP (only thing it's used for) that I'll find it hard to convert to the DS just for reading.

 

[KINGOFNOOBS]

If all you use your PSP for is manga viewing, you should sell it and get a Color Ebook reader.

what format does this comic book program read ?

CBR ?

 

[canvasch]

yeah .cbr works perfectly.. uhh .zip and .rar are sketchy.. cause they don't work for me but other people claim they work..... if you have them in a .zip or .rar just export them to a folder and put the folder into comicbook ds and it will work....
THIS IS THE BEST HOMEBREW PROGRAM FOR THE DS IMO

 

[Costello]

yay, great news!
thanks for the heads up Squiffy

DLDI...

does this work on ds-x

 

[5uck3rpunch]

I'm guessing no one has any links to sites that serve comix? If not, I will have to search with eMule.

 

[BoneMonkey]

sucker punch the best site for comic is www.demonoid.com but you might need a invite and stuff

This is cool and all, but i think there are much better things to do rather then read a comic book with your DS...

Dude, when you are stuck in a car or plane for hours or waiting on someone.it's a godsend to have something other than games. It breaks it up a little. I think it's neat.

EDIT: What are the file extensions for the comics CDS reads??

 

[imgod22222]

Hmm.. cant find a link for pictoDS.
EDIT: hmm.. nevermind. i its in the .zip

Yeah, seriously. Do you really need everything spelled out for you? Okay then.

P-O-R-T-A-B-L-E P-O-R-N.





To be serious for a second though, this is probably the most impressive and useful homebrew on the DS.

I tried comicbook on my M3 Perfect miniSD, but it freezes when loading the first thumbnail page =_=

 

[stonefry]

Trying to get this to work on my G6 Lite. I have tried writing it with the G6 software and just copying the file with both DLDI patched and unpatched files. I always get white screens. Can somebody spoon feed me please?

 

[OSW]

i'm not testing this out until the next beta because i don't want to have to put all the files in the root and name them strange, that'd be too annoying. the old version is working ok enough for me.

i like the improvements that the changelog tells me though.
