Sorry, I'm having trouble on understanding how do you display it on the G.
You converted each page of the manual to an image ?

Regards,
LL

Great idea, Quinnx! Although, I could do this with a 5-action Automator script on my Mac ;-)

Quinnx, you can upload it on rapidshare.com and I'll snatch it from there and mirror it on my unlimited paid account.

Uploading now..

What I have done is convert the whole manual to bmp.
each page is in 2 parts so you get the maximum size.

so instead of 337 pages you have 674

pages are numbered +A and B
so page 0001A 0001B

this ensures that all info displayed is using the maximum width of the screen..
Trying to maintain correct aspect ratio to display 1 page was to small..
trying to display it at 90 degrees was too awkward to read for the most part..


How to Use..

copy all .bmps to the import folder
Use IMPORT BMP to preview any page..
To access pages more quickly you can do the following...

Use the 16 inport slots to bookmark your favorite pages.
Example
use book mark 1 and 2 for index and all others for other pages you
use for reference.

choosing WALLPAPER
you can scroll back and forward between these pages instantly.

Is there an easy way to see the wall paper while playing. ie hiding the information on screen and just showing the wallpaper?

After following the same method as above
Do the following..

Goto SYSTEM/SCREENSAVER choose screen saver2 and press ENTER
This will show it in full screen

It will also scroll through what has been booked marked in the 16 import slots, however Pressing PAD2 will return you back to the page that has been set as wallpaper.

So if you had used bookmark3 for one of your pages and this is set as the main wallpaper..
If the Screen saver starts changing to the next one..
Just press PAD2 and it will return to the current page.


If you want to be able to switch to screen saver mode during a performance.
Press PAD MODE
select BOOKMARK
press MENU/SYSTEM SCREENSAVER
press PAD SETTING+PAD1 to bookmark this page..

At anytime during your performance press Pad1(in bookmark mode)
to return to screen saver screen and choose screen saver 2 once again.

After read this excelent idea I have a question. Can I make my own screensaver? Like an image or an animated one?

Thanks

You can make your own screensaver. You just import a bmp file.

It's in the manual.
