Description

This program takes a URL to an online HTML guide and converts it into a format suitable to use as a Vita game's bubble manual. This can be used to replace the manual of any game, be it Vita, PSP, PSX or Homebrew.

This program works by rendering the HTML file into a series of PNG files, naming them as 001.png, 002.png, and so on, and maximizing as much screen space as possible.

It is intended to be used with HTML guides, like the ones found in sites like GameFAQs. It can be configured into different modes by giving it input arguments (see usage).

If trying to download a GameFAQs guide, use the URL that opens the guide normally, e.g.: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/[console]/[game-id]/faqs/[faq-id]

You will need rePatch-reLoaded to replace manuals from Vita games.

Usage

Converts an online guide into PNG files to be used as a Vita manual.
