MangaMeeya

Mangameeya was originally made as a Manga (Comics) viewer for the Japanese market. It is definitely more than a Comics Ebook viewer: in fact, it is the most powerful image and picture album viewing application for Windows CE. As such, I would compare it to TCPMP, which is by far the best multimedia application for HPCs.

Mangameeya was a GPL freeware application, but its development has been stopped and the project was unfortunately abandoned for some reason.
Apart from a Chinese PPC and Win32 translation, Mangameeya was available in Japanese only.
This WinCE.net HPC port was initially made for the Sigmarion 3, and has never been translated before.

Main Features:

  • Read Image albums ( Mangas, Comics, or any picture/photo album) in RAR (CBR) or ZIP (CBZ) formats, including password protected ZIP or RAR archives
  • Read all common picture formats ( BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG), and can be used a standalone picture viewer
  • Extract ZIP and RAR archives
  • Browse and manage all pictures and image albums with a convenient explorer-like UI with thumbnails (including all common file management like a copy/cut/paste, delete, etc…)

Special Features:

  • Very fast picture decoding (one of the fastest WinCE image viewing apps – does not rely on GX.dll)
  • an impressive number of options to display files, including powerful filters: there is absolutely no equivalent among WinCE/PPC applications (commercial or freeware). Only desktop applications offer so many options.
  • Folders containing pictures use thumbnails instead of standard icons ( you can see the first picture of any folder, without opening it)
  • Everything is configurable: menus and toolbars can be completely customized ; hotkeys, hotspots and mouse gestures can be applied for all program functions
  • All settings are stored in an INI file (nothing is stored in the registry)
