ROM Hack ComicBookDS V2.0

[Paco_777]

ComicBookDS V2.0 Beta is available.
The homepage is updated (userguide, install instructions, history, ...) : http://Gnese.free.fr/NDS/ComicBookDS/
I've created a new page for ComicBookDS free content here http://Gnese.free.fr/NDS/ComicBookDS/.
It should evolve soon.

Compatibility should be improved. since FAT access is performed thanks to the new DLDI.

I will have to try it out later but nice work, the addition of DLDI support is always appreciated.

 

[Tokas]

Works fine with my R4.

great i hope it is more stable than the last version, every now and again when i go to convert an archive file full of images sometimes it will freeze up on a certain image in te file and not finish making the rom and hitting cancell and trying again doesnt work (locks up on the exact same file)

 

[moloko23]

I'm using an R4 an when I boot it up it says "FAT access not suported"

Do I have to patch it? It worked for Tokas, why won't it work for me??

I'm not very experienced when it comes to NDS homebrew

Read it, be educated, enjoy comics

 

[poloman]

what a brilliant app! just tried it for the first time with the Heroes comics - very impressed!

 

[Gooseman]

Looks great but unfortunately I'm not into comics or mangas. Is it possible to read "real" books with that app on my DS?!

And where can i get them/which format is it?

 

[Tseng]

Unable to get this working for some reason on my M3 Lite. I keep getting the "FAT access not supported" error even after doing DLDI patches.

I actually got it to work a couple times a couple days ago. I used an unpatched version and would be able to run the file once and enjoy some comics at work. Then after restarting my DS it would no longer work. I had to delete the file and copy it over again and it would work once more the same way. But after patching it to try and get it working properly, I can no longer get it working at all, patched or unpatched.

Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? I was really enjoying having some comics to read at work.

edit: Also, is there an older version (1.3 or something) still hosted somewhere that I can try, in case I can't get this working?

nope, this program converts your image files (jpeg etc) and displays them on ur ds.

moonshell can read .TXT files wuite well.

there is no program to read pdf files.

The converter is really buggy. (2.1)

Sometimes i get 1 KB files. Sometimes it would skip some pictures while converting. The filesizes are also really inconsistent. Sometimes the output file is unusually larger or smaller than it should be.

I have no idea why it doesn't work with some cards (my own code is not specific to any cards)

The previous versions are available in the history section of my ComicBookDS web page. The V2.0_beta5 might work (since i suspect the libraries upgrade necessary to have the directory listing to be the problem)

if you can reproduce the problem with some files which are badly converted, please send a mail with some informations on how to reproduce the problem to "pictods @ gmail . com"
This will help in finding the bug.


QUOTE(Trace II @ Apr 4 2007, 12:01 AM)Is it possible to convert .pdf to that format?

you cannot directly, but there are several ways to convert pdf to images.
For instance, i use the free version of PDFill.
Once converted to images (in a directory), this directory can be used with pictods.

for a sd rumble what do I use (DLDI) and does it work if I dont have a passkey

 

[OSW]

dunno about the dldi for sc rumble, but you need a passme to run ds homebrew on a slot 2 cart.

 

[gordillo]

so it cant be with a flashed DS???

 

[OSW]

it'll work fine.

Flashed DS just don't need a passme, it'll still run homebrew exactly the same as one using a passme.

 

[blade85]

nice, ill try it out and read some comics while i'm at it lol :X

 

[gordillo]

how bout rumble???
