Manga Reader is a simple image/manga viewer for the 3DS created with Lua Player Plus 3DS. There is no zoom feature and unable to load big images.

Note: The project is abandoned.

Installation

Available in 3DSX and CIA formats:

CIA - Copy just MangaReader.cia to your 3DS and install it.
3DSX - Copy the entire 3ds folder to the root of your SD card (make sure you copy the entire folder, not just the .3dsx).

How to add mange:

Create a folder named Manga on the roo of the SD card.
Put your manga in the folder Manga.
Each manga should have a different folder, such as /Manga/Naruto1/.
You can have more sub directories in your manga folder, such as /Manga/Naruto/Chapter1/.

Image/manga format:

Your image files need to be in a specific numerical order.
It goes like 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc.
You can also use 01.jpg or 001.jpg (up to 7 zeros before the number).
It can load JPG, PNG or BMP (use JPG for best performance).
All pages must be no more than 2300x2300.

User guide

Options

Speed - How many pixels the page moves per frame when moving.
Return - Where you start out in the page when you go to the next one.

FAQ

Q. Freezes after starting a manga?

The images are too big. The 3DS has limitations on how big a loaded image can be.

To fix this, resize them to make them a bit smaller.

You can use batch image resizer program such as Fotosizer.

Q. How do I make my images files be detected?

Image files should have numbers as their names.

The program checks if a folder is a manga by checking if a file named 1 (or 01, 001, up to 00000001) with .jpg, .png, or .png exists.

Q. Zooming?

No, sorry.
