To find the data size of a finished Nintendo DSiWare e-manual, check the BLZ file created by a binary export of the project.
You can make a rough estimate of a Nintendo DSiWare e-manual's size from the volume of text and the images used.
Note: This is only a rule of thumb. The actual data size may deviate considerably depending on page content and source images.
One thousand characters of text uses roughly 0.4 KB of space.
Once compressed, the size of the image data will be approximately 90 percent of the total size of the GIF images used in the Nintendo DSiWare e-manual.
Note: The numbers in this table are given as guidelines. Image data with long horizontal stretches of the same color are smaller in size.
