In this kind of manual, the pages are supposed to be readed at "full screen", so is needed to use a font with good size, this makes pointless to use the zoom function (well, most users will zoom for science purposes, but they will realize is pointless because zooming in a sentence is stupid if you can read it without zoom) | In this kind of manual, the pages are supposed to be readed at "full screen", so is needed to use a font with good size, this makes pointless to use the zoom function (well, most users will zoom for science purposes, but they will realize is pointless because zooming in a sentence is stupid if you can read it without zoom) | ||
For this manuals is good to go to the small resolution sizes (like 1024x576 or smaller with 288 KB per page) because there is a small pixelation but is only notable when zoomed in... and well... user is not supposed to zoom in more than 1 time (the first time for science), this manuals are good for homebrew where the manual doesnt needs to be bigger than the homebrew app itself | For this manuals is good to go to the small resolution sizes (like 1024x576 or smaller with 288 KB per page) because there is a small pixelation but is only notable when zoomed in... and well... user is not supposed to zoom in more than 1 time (the first time for science), this manuals are good for homebrew where the manual doesnt needs to be bigger than the homebrew app itself | ||
The other type of manual is where it contains maps of the game with the location of items, places, or any kind of image with big detail that is interesting to display it in the bigger size posible (here the user is supposed to zoom in allways in every page) | The other type of manual is where it contains maps of the game with the location of items, places, or any kind of image with big detail that is interesting to display it in the bigger size posible (here the user is supposed to zoom in allways in every page) | ||
For this ones is good to go for the bigger resolution sizes like 2560x1440 (and 1,75 MB per page) because usually there are not much pages and are for games wich size is much bigger than the manual | For this ones is good to go for the bigger resolution sizes like 2560x1440 (and 1,75 MB per page) because usually there are not much pages and are for games wich size is much bigger than the manual | ||
