DSbible 2.5
World English translation + more

GBAtemp member Jeremysr has just released an update to his bible viewing homebrew. This new version adds the World English and French translations of the bible as well as a large number of browsing improvements.

Some main features:

- 4 Bible translations: World English Bible, Bible in Basic English, King James Version, and Louis Second 1910 (French).
- Searching
- Looking up a verse
- Bookmarks

Spoiler: changelog

The changelog for version 2.5:

- Fixed all the flickering
- Scrolling can be done by dragging the stylus on the text (like Moonshell)
- DSbible now has a logo/icon/titlescreen (Thanks Josiah for creating it!)
- World English Bible translation included, which has paragraph breaks and footnotes
- Footnotes and verse numbers appear in orange text (footnotes appear inline with the text)
- "Back" and "Cancel" buttons implemented all over the program
- Fixed a bug that caused the program to freeze while starting up for some people (Thanks Sebastiaan Leenders for reporting this and helping me fix it!)
- "Louis Second 1910" French translation included, and DSbible itself has been translated to French (Thanks JMS for doing both these things!)
- Loading a book is almost instantaneous
- Holding the stylus on a button in the text viewer for half a second will display a popup describing what that button does
- Bible translations and translations of DSbible can be added and removed easily by adding files or removing the files in the 'translations' and 'lang' directories.
- Bookmarked verses and search terms in the text are now highlighted

Nice! Now there's a plausible explanation for having your DS out during church service. I approve.

[quartercast]

I'm _so_ excited, I've been waiting for this for months



*cough*

 

[Shadowhunta]

Use...ful?

To some people yes..i have to say i'm not massively impressed that people will bash a homebrew app,be it game,bible or otherwise simply because they don't think its any good..i personally applaud EVERYONE who makes a homebrew app simply for the reason that i am mightily impressed people are actually developing stuff for a platform that has no real SDK.
The bible is'nt my bag and does'nt concern my beliefs,but i applaud the author for putting his time and effort into something he believes in!

 

[ganons]

DsQuran will be good. Iquran on Iphone is awesome

I'm quite happy to see these anti-religion remarks. Stuff of this nature should be kept off of a sane forum such as this. We don't need nutters starting wars on the internet as well as in real life because of their magical belief systems.

^I feel a bit sorry for you that you're so offended by other people having beliefs.

If you don't like the bible or Christianity, why did you come into this thread in the first place? It must have only been to bag it out. That's not very civilised now is it?

 

[multiboy2k]

Ok. All foolishness and offensive remarks aside.

I actually have a suggestion for the maker of this wonderful program. Because of your work, I now take my Lite to church with me instead of lugging my Bible.
I appreciate what you have done so far. I just tried this version and i really like what you did with the font and it seems work much more smoothly.

But, could you PLEASE implement a way to take NOTES in this program? Many of us like to notate what the sermon is about while referring to scriptures.
I think that would make this already excellent app, PERFECT.

Thanks and God Bless.
