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.
