First of all you I think the idea if writing a pdf-renderer from scratch is pretty insane, especially if you want it to render somewhat correctly. Rendering text "properly" is very tricky as I've come to realize lately. chm is just packed html so thats equivalent of wrting a html browser, ...

There are none and I don't think one will turn up in the foreseeable future - the best soloution is probably to convert PDF to JPG and view it as pictures.

(You really should try to learn what is hard to do and what is not. Rendering PDFs is hard.)

I could add this as an option, but it would mean freezing the program until the indexer has reached the place you are at, which might take a minute if you are at the end of a long book.

Both PSP and GBA-versions up at:

(Hope my domain comes back soon! :)

Well, maybe as it is now it can be useful in just listening in and checking out whats happening on the channels - but actually chatting with an onscreen keyboard would probably be too awkward/slow, at least for me...

A new beta (PSP version, Windows tools) can be downloaded from: http://82.182.81.80/pixie/files/Pixie_psp_beta2.zip This version has better font support (like runtime settings of fonts and sizes) and keys can be completely configured. Also includes TXT2HTML for converting text-files (especially Proj...

Why is everyone looking to external solutions for an onscreen keyboard? The PSP's OS has an OSK module built in (part of the utility library). As someone mentioned on IRC, the mobilephone-like (T9) keyboard (that you get when entering Nickname etc) sucks, so an alternative would be nice. Also has a...

Have mostly been working on the tools and porting now - the conversion tools for windows and a GBA version are now available.

(Fonts are converted from normal TTF fonts).

Will try and get the TXT-reader more stable, key remapping, better suspend/resume and then release a new psp-version.

If you place it in another folder you must change both the FONT and BOOK directory in the config-file. That should work allthough I havent tried it myself.

Also remember to remove the old reader.cfg so it can be updated with the new options.

There's a new version (beta 1) that fixes some problems. - Text files with characters outside font can crash the reader, but that assert means it coudlnt even open the file which is strange. - The book folder was hard coded, and when it couldn't find the dir, some test code I had forgotten was run t...

So you are sure 1.53 is greater than 1.52?

always get error: msvcr80.dll is missing

Yeah, I compiled it with VC2005 beta with DLL linking which was maybe not too smart. I included the source though so it should be easy to recompile - otherwise just wait a day or two - or try and find the DLL.

This was earlier a GBA/DS project, but it's now also ported to PSP.

Reads TXT, simple PDB and BOOK (which is converted from HTML with included converter.

This is the first released version so there are bugs. Feel free to comment in this thread on how it works.

4-byte madness? Its a standard 16bit screenmode.

ARRRRRGGGGGBBBBB

Just read up on your shifting and or:ing operations.

Also you can set the screen to 32bit if you prefer.

an -march=r6000 as compiler flag takes care of this problem, it will then run in the emulator.
