I added a PDF importer to DS-Mangaman! You can now easily read Manga (and normal PDFs) on your DS

Hey everyone,

I love giving old hardware a new purpose, and the DS form factor is honestly still great for reading. I've been working on the DS-Mangaman toolchain and just implemented a massive quality-of-life feature: Native PDF Import via GUI.

Instead of manually extracting and formatting images beforehand, you can now just feed a PDF directly into the app.

Here is what’s new:

  • One-Click Import: Added a dedicated "Import PDF" button to the main interface.
  • Smart Configuration Modal: When you load a PDF, a setup window pops up allowing you to customize the extraction.
  • Auto-Splitting: You can split massive PDFs into manageable DS ROM chapters by specifying a page count, or just let the app auto-split them using the PDF's native bookmarks (TOC).
  • Versatility: You can choose your output format (JPG, PNG, WEBP) and adjust the DPI.

While I built this to handle manga scans (extracting the raw images with zero quality loss), I realized it works flawlessly for standard text PDFs as well. It makes reading standard documents, guides, or books on the console surprisingly comfortable.

Quick Setup Tip: If you want to pull the repo and compile a ROM yourself, I highly recommend using a Python virtual environment to keep the dependencies clean:

cd ds-mangaman
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate  # Mac/Linux users: source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

I've tested the pipeline thoroughly on my end and the generated .nds files run perfectly, but I'd love to hear how it works for you guys.

Let me know what you think or if you have any feature requests!

Cleanest Bluetooth mod setup? N3ds non xl

Hello, I want to do an internal Bluetooth mod for my new 3ds non xl and wanted to know if the best board to get is still a KCX\_BT\_EMITTER v1.7. I want a clean looking setup when done and I don't know if this is the right board for that. I have microsoldering experience so installation won't be an issue, I just need to know the best parts to source for the job. Thank you :)

I'm aware there are some guides online but they use different boards sometimes, and are years old. Checking in if there have been updated findings in better boards, thanks again.

Is there an enhanced version of Ocarina of Time for the New 3DS? For example, one that takes advantage of the extra shoulder buttons so you don't have to use the touchscreen to use items.

It would feel strange to me that, with such a huge modding community out there, nobody has found a way to make use of the extra triggers for the Item I and Item II slots. I think there's a patch or something that adds support for the C-Stick, but I'm not entirely sure.

Is Modding a 3ds “virus free”?

I recently bought a new 3DS xl to mod, that way my original childhood console could stay untouched as a kind of time capsule, and after getting this new 3DS, i began looking at tutorials to install mods such as 3DS.hacks.guide. I’m a pretty nervous person when it comes to viruses however, coming from experience with them in the past, and i just wanted to see generally how safe it is to follow tutorials like this to mod my console.

Any feedback would be Extremely appreciated!!! As it’s making me second guess even trying to mod it
