I got a package fro ups the other day which has a small label that looks
just like the code on an e-reader card (Not the usual clustered mess of a
label).
Perhaps the big N is not the only company using 'dot' code...
I am going to buy an ereader just to 'hack' on. I plan to solder a cable
direclty to the memory buss so I can read what is getting stored and also
hook to the output of the optic reader or the decodeing chip connected to
the optic reader. Are there any pic pros here that would be willing to help
build a PC <> e-reader intercafe to send the read data to the PC so we can
begin to compare the code stored in memory with the optical patters. If you
are willing and ABLE to help please email me directly.
BTW does anyone know how many bytes each card can hold?
Here's how to e-reader works for the most part. After plugging the E-Reader into the GBA as if it were a cartridge, turn on your GBA. Then you'll go into some...

Pretty much. The dots should have some white space between them. Also, can you provide me that same image, but in 1200 DPI, length = 7.3cm, width = 0.3cm?...
that image is dot-accurate :) you can easily do image processing on it to attain the correct size. -Stephen ... From: "Damien Good" <d_good@...> To:...

Thank you for all you effort in this!!!!!!! I look foward to being able to print my own mini-demos and games on paper. All I have is a Hp 750 with a 600 dpi...
