the E-Reader code was figured out. Good or bad?
WHOA!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I never thought it was possible. Well, now if we can make our own games, that is good since Nintendo has given up on the e-Reader.
One question, how do you get the BombSweeper game to work? Justy print out all those dot codes at that size?

GOOD. this is what I've been waiting for since its first mention.
The program to print the do codes is on the site. However, I can't get it to print the correct size and work.

Wow, this sounds cool. It'd be a great opportunity to expand on the e-reader's library and give it some more life.

You can use the rarely used letter labelling feature that comes with all printers to put the codes on the sides of 3x5 notecards.
:shock:
Wow, if I can get this to work I might have to learn how to make my own games :D
If anyone figures out how to print these correctly, then please explain how ;)

I can definitley see the e-Reader becoming a GIANT market for homebrewers.

it's good news, nintendo wouldn't put out games that had more then 10 bar codes, the home brew people of course don't have that limit. So we could see some really large games comming our way.

I just got it to work. The biggest problem I had was the paper quality. Make sure to get some good paper.

just get a pack of card stock. 3 or 4 dollars for a pack of 250 or 500 8.5"x11"s or something

With regular paper the dots won't print straight.
With a 600 DPI printer and photo paper, these still don't work. Possibly a hoax?
