OneManga PSP Client

[ChaoticXSinZ]

Hello.

Well as I mentioned in my intro thread I like Manga and programming.

So one night after nearly destroying my PSP in frustration as I tried to do some late night manga reading using the PSP browser I got a great idea: Why not create a native OneManga client for the PSP that runs like any other game? The next day I set out on learning how to make an application for the PSP.

Spoiler for Disclaimers:

**DISCLAIMER 1: This is basically the first fully featured program I've ever made in C++. So expect so the occasional bug.**

**DISCLAIMER 2: Tested only on firmware 5.00 M33-6, 5.00 GEN-A, 5.00 GEN-B. **

**DISCLAIMER 3: To run this program on your PSP it needs to be modded. But I don't think I'm at liberty to tell you how this can be accomplished. [Although I'm sure a quick search on Google can reveal this information].**

Now that we've passed all that here is a video for you guys:

Watch on youtube here.

Link to download viedo: HERE << Another of my programming creations (youGetter -- Download youtube videos)

The video features the first image of chapter 5 of Bakuman.

The music before the program actually launches is a shortened version of the Naruto opening GO!.

The voices in the video are my 2 bros and me.

Sorry for the crappy video as I had to use my builtin laptop cam because I wasn't able to get psplinkusb (program that lets you use your computer as psp screen) working.

Here is the link to download it: RIGHT HERE.

To Install:
------------
- Download the above zip file.
- Unzip somewhere.
- Transfer the extracted folder and all its contents "OneMangaPSP" to the PSP in the PSP/GAME directory.

Thanks for reading.

which is better: scaled images or original?

[Lone_ant]

I say scaled, such that it's easier to read.

Though I don't know much about programming :/

[ChaoticXSinZ]

Ok. For now it's scaled. Although I may make an option to change it.
Anyways I'll probably be release an Alpha version later today or at latest tommorrow.

**Off to eat breakfast.
