Loaded Nes rarity list into my ipod touch!

[dcescott]

Via pdf using a neat little Mac app (sorry!) Filemark Maker.
I had a hunch my ipod touch could view multiple page pdf's. I made 8 pages (could have combined them all really) from the database, US Nes releases only using Acrobat 8, full version from my CS3 suite.
Then I downloaded the beta of FilemarkMaker.app.zip from http://www.insanelygreattees.com/news/?p=51
or google for it.

Unzipped it and dragged each pdf individually unto the application icon, followed the steps, synced my bookmarks and presto! I can view the entire rarity list from my ipod!
Here's the cool part. You don't need the internet to view it! I tested that to make sure, I turned off my wifi and went to my bookmarks and it still came up!
Now when I go a hunting, I have a rarity list in my hands on my ipod!


The only drawback, it would be hard to haggle a vender down if they see me whip out my ipod to check for the rarity

My favorite fleamarket finally had some good NES games this weekend. I could have used the list
Next time, next time....

So how did you get the files onto the Touch? Did you email them to yourself, open up the PDF in Safari, and somehow the page stays in the cache? As a new Touch owner, I'd like more info

Most likely the OP jailbroke his iPod and used an ebook reader to view the files.

No, it's not a hack, or jailbreak. I'm thinking it's in the cache. Check out the link, it's really easy and its a beta freeware app.. I'm gonna load stuff for work too.

The instructions are simple really. It's a mac app so sorry pc users.
