TextViewer for NDS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:15, 6 February 2023

Text viewer for the DS.

Makes use of a full touchscreen interface.
Persistent text bookmarking through SRAM.
Low power mode.
Multiple file support with clean GUI for selecting.
Uses a 5-pixel-width subpixel font to allow greater text density than standard 8-pixel tile fonts.

What you need:

A flashcart to hold your text files.
gbfs by Damian Yerrick for appending your text files to the binary.
A way of getting your DS to boot off of said flash cart, which also allows the arm9 code to access the cart's rom.

How to use:

Copy over gbfs, lsgbfs, and padbin somewhere on your path (all come with the gbfs package by Damian Yerrick).
Add your text files, then modify makefs.bat to use your own txt file(s) instead of the provided test ones.
After fulfilling the above requirements run makefs.bat.
If all goes well you will end up with textviewer_content.nds and textviewer_content.nds.gba files.

Tested by the author using wmb and a F2A 256mbit cart.

Runs on no$gba.
