I'm just going to stick with Comic Book DS.
Upcoming games I'm working on:
  • Minecraft2DS
  • Bow Man DS
  • Bird poo!

I haven't tried it yet. Does it enable comic strips like Garfield or Get fuzzy?

Yeah, you'll have to convert them first to CBDS format first. It's like a picture viewer. You can have bookmarks, you can also enlarge the picture. I don't read many comics though.

It'd be even better if it was wrapped in a frame checker not to switch frames for no reason, but I really didn't feel like adding extra code to it. ;P



I read you! Thanks for the tip.

1. Make this app load .JPG's instead.
2. Make it load said .JPG's from FAT (relatively easy).
3. Make a save file with Bookmarks.
4. Lots of Win over standard CBDS format. ;P

Are JPGs better for conserving bytes?

JPG's are better because you don't have to worry about the room size, you can store them in a buffer for better management of space and first and foremost - you can clear the RAM of the no longer used ones whenever you want.

That requires some C/C++ practice though.
