Vnds - Gamebrew

DS Visual Novel Reader is a Nintendo DS application used for playing gamebooks formatted with sound and pictures. It is designed to play visual novels created in .scr format.

Installation

For v1.4.9:

  • Extract archive onto the root of the SD card so the path is /vnds/.
  • To install a visual novel, extract the tar.gz in /vnds/novels, so it has its own folder (ie. /vnds/novels/tsukihime).
  • Sound files should end up in /vnds/novels/<game folder>/sound/.

For v1.5.3:

  • Take the .novel file and place it in the /vnds/novel/ folder.

Note from developer:

Any save prior to version 1.3.1 needs to be ran though the sav2xml.py utility in the /tools/ folder (requires Python to run).

Also make sure the path is correct. If you run it and you get stuck at a white screen, launch it with an alternative launcher, such as DSOrganize or DSChannels.
