TWL Manual Viewer SD
TWL Manual Viewer SD is a tool for previewing on TWL development hardware e-manual binary files (BLZ files) created with TWL ManualEditor. TWL Manual Viewer SD is used differently compared to TWL Manual Viewer, which runs locked to TWL ManualEditor. This viewer allows you to directly preview e-manual binary files (BLZ files) stored on an SD card.
Setup Method
The TWL Manual Viewer SD tool is imported into TWL development hardware (development systems, IS-TWL-DEBUGGER, and IS-TWL-CAPTURE) for use. Use the following procedure to import the viewer into the TWL development hardware.
-
Put TWL Manual Viewer SD (
TwlManualTools/tools/ManualViewerSD/bin/ARM9-TS.LTD/TWLManualViewerSD.tad) on an SD card and use the TWL-SDK accessory tool TwlNMenu to import it into the TWL development hardware. You can import it into a system for any region. See the TWL-SDK accessory manual for details on how to use TwlNMenu.
-
When imported into the TWL development hardware, the TWL Manual Viewer SD icon appears in the DSi Menu of that hardware. You can then use this icon to start up TWL Manual Viewer SD.

-
If you no longer require TWL Manual Viewer SD, you can delete it from the TWL development hardware with
TwlNMenu. Delete the title of Game Code 4MVA, which corresponds to this tool.
How to Use
This section explains the basic operations of TWL Manual Viewer SD.
-
Copy the e-manual binary file (BLZ file) to be previewed to an SD card. There are no restrictions on file structure in the SD card. Create the e-manual binary file (BLZ file) with TWL ManualEditor.
-
Insert the SD card into the TWL development hardware and start up TWL Manual Viewer SD. When TWL Manual Viewer SD recognizes the SD Card, it scans the folders and file structure in the SD card and then displays the content hierarchically.

-
Select the e-manual binary file (BLZ file) to preview and the language for display. You can select the language for display from the languages that are included in the e-manual binary file (BLZ file). You can check the details of operations using the SELECT Button.

-
When you select the e-manual binary file (BLZ file) and language for display, the content of the e-manual appears. To preview another binary file or language, either touch the Close button on the e-manual display screen or press the START Button.

Versions of e-manual binary files (BLZ files) that are not supported, or BLZ files that are unrelated to e-manuals, are considered invalid files and therefore cannot be previewed.
