How to make the NDSlite display PDFs

November 4, 2009 11:33 PM

Google-fu failed, has anyone found a PDF reader for the NDSlite for use with an R4 card?

My uncle's been adoring the DSlite and the R4 card I hooked him up with a while ago. He's gotten decently tech-savvy with the R4 card (even got his movies to play on it), but he can't find a PDF reader for it and wants one badly. I no longer have a DS or an R4 card, and so can't do this search and testing by trial-and-error myself for the results that HAVE turned up. None specify if they're for the R4 system either... I sincerely hope there are mefites out there who have sought and found an answer! Many, many thanks in advance!

I posted a link to a working pdf reader. Not sure why it was deleted. No one will specify R4 since no one codes specifically for R4. R4 / M3 are exactly the same under the hood and the others are very similar, so almost all homebrew will work on them.

sharkfu perhaps you could just tell us what to google?

Sharkfu might've Googled for ands-pdf. It's the only DS .pdf reader I can think of.

Moderators sometimes delete links to warez-y stuff and things that they fear might get the site in trouble--maybe somebody judged that this falls into that category.

Mefi mail sent. The funny thing is homebrew apps are pretty much the only legal thing you can do with a R4 and DS.
