==Installation==
==Installation==
Create a new folder named flipnotes at the root of your SD card.
Copy FSPDS.nds ([[DLDI]] if needed) anywhere to your SD card.


Copy your favorite flipnotes (in PPM format) to flipnotes directory.
Create a folder on your SD card and copy your favorite flipnotes there.  


Copy FSPDS.nds ([[DLDI]] if needed) anywhere to your SD card.
Notes and limitations:
* FSPDS does not detect/play flipnotes larger than 1MB.
* You can have up to 1024 files in flipnotes directory.
* The flipnote's BGM track should be smaller than 512KB in order to be played correctly.

===Limitations===
[https://notimplementedlife.itch.io/fspds FSPDS manual.]
* FSPDS doesn't detect/play flipnotes larger than 1MB (this is intentional behavior).
 
* Don't place more than 1024 files in flipnotes directory, otherwise FSPDS won't be capable to see them all (also intentional behavior).
Running FSPDS for the first time:
* Sound playback is supported. However, don't keep the flipnote paused for a long time, otherwise the sound will no longer be synchronized with the animation.
* Tap the "Browse" button and then the "Add Flipnote Location" icon in the top left corner to index flipnotes location.
* A flipnote location is a folder containing flipnotes. A flipnote file name is considered valid if it matches the original Flipnote Studio name convention:
** The file name must be 24 characters long and followed by the extension ".ppm".
** For example, 01B155_0B803A974C99E_003.ppm is a valid flipnote filename.
* Navigate to the folder you want to add, then tap "Select" in the bottom right corner. FSPDS will search and index flipnotes in the chosen location.
* Once indexing is complete, you'll be redirected to the locations list.
 
Viewing Flipnotes:
* In the locations list, use the D-Pad to navigate to the desired location.
* Press A to view flipnotes there.
* Browse flipnote thumbnails on the top screen using D-Pad arrows, while the bottom screen displays information about the selected flipnote.
* Touch the "Play" button to play a flipnote.
