[WIP/Release] ds_mangaman - Turning the Nintendo DS into the Ultimate Vertical Book-Style Manga Reader!

Hwongfish · 2026-06-09T00:33:11+00:00

Hi everyone! I’ve always felt that the Nintendo DS is criminally underrated when it comes to being a dedicated manga-reader. Think about it: it has two screens built right into the form factor, one of them has a precise (not quite most of the time though) touchscreen, and when you rotate the console 90 degrees counter-clockwise, it perfectly mimics the ergonomics of holding a real physical tankobon (manga volume). When held vertically, the D-pad sits perfectly on the bottom, and the shoulder keys (L/R) are in the ideal position for switching chapters. Plus, the touchscreen can be used to magnify for reading the text or inspecting details. Such interactions are the ultimate form factors that modern smartphones just can't match. To prove this, I built ds_mangaman — an open-source, highly optimized homebrew manga viewer for the NDS/NDSL. Download and learn how to build in Github release: :teach::teach::teach: GitHub Repository: https://github.com/hwfish-error408/ds-mangaman :grog::grog::grog: Looking for Contributors! The compiler engine and core state machine are now fully functional and running smoothly on real hardware and emulators (like melonDS). However, I want to take this project further and could really use the community's help! I’m looking for developers, testers, and retro-enthusiasts to help with: A, Implementing a cleaner UI/Main Menu. B, Adding Bookmark support (saving states to SRAM/FAT .sav). C, Further optimizing the DMA memory copy speeds during page and chapter transitions. Feel free to download the source, check out the build pipeline, test it on your flashcarts, and open Issues or Pull Requests on the GitHub repo! Let's make the NDS the ultimate retro manga machine.

Hi there,
My daughter was recently given a R4i DSi LL 1.45 (Blue card) which worked well for a few days, i then without doing any research on firmware updated the firmware on her DSi to 1.4.1A and has blocked the card.
I've tried using the "firmware" made available at the cards website ndsill.net but it doesnt seem to work.

Heres an image of the card she has:

Heres what's on my SDcard folder file wise: Only what was within the .zip from the above website.

Data (Folder)
dsxreader (Folder)
moonshl2 (Folder)
NDSMAIL (Folder)
Plugins (Folder)
Skin (Folder)
SYSTEM (Folder)
iLL.iL (File)
skin.ini (File)
TTMENU.SYS (File)

I would like to get this to work again as shes really disappointed about it not working but if its no hope i wil just end up buying a new Acekard.

Cheers for any help.
