MangaMeeya belongs to one of the most popular tools among manga readers.
Since many people seem to had problems with the previous MangaMeeya scrollbar I decided to upload MangaMeeya 2.4 with the scrollfix. The newest version of MangaMeeya has appeared yesterday on a news site.
The newest version 7.4 is Chinese, but there is also a new English adaption. If you can’t understand Chinese, you can go with this version. Its similar to CDisplay but this version lets you view archives within archives! So it is much more comfortable! If you are still stucked with CDisplay, you should definitely give this tool a chance!
Fixes:
-Scrollbar movement was decreased
-Adding reading compatibility with PowerPoint presenters (read manga from your coach)
Features:
-Supports imprecated archives (archives within archives)
-Read Image albums ( Mangas, Comics, or any picture/photo album) in RAR (CBR) or ZIP (CBZ) formats, including password protected ZIP or RAR archives
-Read all common picture formats ( BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG), and can be used a standalone picture viewer
-No installation required
-Extract ZIP and RAR archives
I compiled a list of all hotkeys used in the default setting here. Of course you can change the hotkeys in MangaMeeya’s menu (Tools->Customize). I’ve made two settings. Setting#1 is used with a keyboard and Setting#2
for wireless input devices like powerpoint presenters.

I haven’t heard of this tool before. I actually use CDisplay myself. It’s in english. Once you get the settings the way you want, you’re good to go. *shrugs* Just suggesting :)
June 21st, 2008 at 2:54 PM
This is nice, but how does one set a folder that’s to be opened immediately each time the program runs? Or can it even do that at all?
Thanks.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Cdisplay is nice, but as a former CDisaplay user, I can tell you this is a much nicer tool. Being able to open a .rar within a .rar is the most convenient thing, and one thing I’ve learned is to never underestimate convenience. ;)
June 21st, 2008 at 3:00 PM
I was stucked on the old Manga Meeya version. This version is much better! I totally recommend switching from CDisplay to Manga Meeya.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:29 PM
ever try “ComicsViewer”? i feel it’s got all the essential functions, but without the excess kind of stuff. i used to use hikaru viewer from toriyamaworld, but switched to comicsviewer when i found it on this japanese winny forum.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:32 PM
Why is the english version 2.4 while the japanese version is 7.4 and is there any difference between the two?
June 21st, 2008 at 3:36 PM
7.4 is another branch and equals 2.4 for windows.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Is there a dev site for the english version, cause the scroll function seems to be broken.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Yeah, here is the source code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/44016961/MMCE_July20.zip.html
June 21st, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Comix under linux is much better. But if u have windows its a nice tool.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:21 PM
@Ebichiyu
You can do that with CDisplay too…….
June 21st, 2008 at 7:34 PM
Great program. Lots of smart settings and stuff.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Audrey, the version i was using would never do it for me, admittedly though, I hadn’t upgraded it since last fall… So it may be a newer feature. I still prefer Mangameya now that I am using it.
If CDisplay works for you the way you like it, who am I to tell you to dump it for something else(DO EEEET!!).
June 21st, 2008 at 8:57 PM
It looks nice. Since it is open source, is anyone trying to port it to linux?
Btw can anybody tell me which manga is this from?

Thx in advance…
June 21st, 2008 at 9:00 PM
I thought that the source link, was the source code but it isn’t. So nvm what I said…
June 21st, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Unbalance X 2
June 21st, 2008 at 9:03 PM
i know the comment isn’t to the topic but from which manga are the showing patches? (in the screenshot)
I’m sorry for my english…
greetings
Buu00
June 21st, 2008 at 9:31 PM
The manga is C.A.T
I highly recommend it, awesome read.
And I’m gonna try to use this one. Using CDisplay for forever.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:38 PM
thank you very much
June 21st, 2008 at 9:45 PM
Thanks a whole bunch for working on this. It’s the best manga reader bar none (long time CDisplay user here) Unlike CDisplay it is blazing fast, even on 100MB+ rar files. And it does Lancoz resizing so everything looks razor sharp. Also has a bunch of features that no other reader does (AFAIK) like mouse gestures, an explorer that displays all the manga in a folder in the form of thumbnails and let’s you change almost every single hotkey and mouse button to whatever you want.
Switching to it for all my comic and manga reading now :P
June 21st, 2008 at 9:57 PM
I like it so far. A lot of extra feature which I probably won’t use but very nice.
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:12 AM
I am still using ACDSee for 8-9 (?) Years lol… well I don’t like CDisplay and MangaMeeya is quite good..e xD
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:24 AM
I have a question regarding MangaMeeya, a year ago when i went from ACDSee to CDisplayEX i changed all my manga files into .cbr, can this reader open them automatically like CDisplayEX can, cause if it can i ain’t changing 43.8 gig’s of manga files back in .rar format [and when i say automaticaly i mean i press the icon and it opens in MangaMeeya]
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 AM
Ofc course it can .CBR are nothing but renamed .RAR files.
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:35 AM
errr…. silv sorry, i didn’t mean if it can open cbr files, and too bad you already posted, i just remembered that i can do what i wanted from windows [to change the program i open a .cbr file from cdisplay to mangameeya] – really sorry for posting
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:42 AM
Yeah ofc. That’s a windows feature:
Hold SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK any CBR file. Choose from the panel “Open with” and set MangaMeeya as your default reader.
June 22nd, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Some info about Comic Book Archive files.
It is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, especially comic books. The idea was made popular by the CDisplay image viewer.
The Comic Book Archive format is a compressed archive which uses one of several popular compression file formats. The files may be opened using the appropriate compression programme simply by changing the file extension, depending on the file format:
* .cbr →.rar
* .cbz →.zip
* .cbt →.tar
* .cba →.ace
//wikipedia
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:18 PM
For linux, it’s worth to have a look at QComicBook: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=19509
Since 0.4.0 it also supports nested archives :)
KDE4’s Okular http://okular.kde.org/ has also comic book archives support, but it’s still in beta state.
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:15 PM
I’m using picwalker. It have some issues with rar archives, but works fine with most of releases.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:28 AM
Can someone tell me how do you readmanga on it?. I have this problem which the program that the downloaded mangas get sent to cannot use that program so i can’t read that downloaded manga on my computer. How do you change this program to another program to read the downloaded manga. I could appericate the help please.
June 23rd, 2008 at 2:34 AM
Another question, how do you set up Mangameeya on your computer anyway to read the manga? It saved on mine as a compressed folder and i don’t know how to start to read mangas on it. Also i notice a .RAR manga files is not playing on CDisplay, it just says the file is not there, why is that?. Sorry for posting so many questions.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:24 AM
Ok, I think what you’re asking is how to open the .rar’s or whatever other format is used with the mangameeya.
First off extract the mangameeya archive you downloaded into a folder somewhere on your PC.
From there right click on one of the manga’s you want to read, and clich “Open with…”, if you don’t see mangameeya listed, then down at the bottom there is a “browse” button. Click on browse, navigate to the folder you extracted mangameeya to, and open the program from there.
You can either save it as the default program to open files like that, or just have it in your “Open with…” menu from then on. Its up to you how you do it from there. If you have any other problems, or if I didn’t explain that well enough, feel free to ask.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 AM
For OSX manga reader
http://bitcartel.com/comicbooklover/index.html
its really good :)
(but shame its not free but you can crack it ;))
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:54 AM
alright, lemme say this:
mangameeya is not a nerdy, manga archivating script.
1) It’s trimmed for mobility and performance. it runs on every windows WITHOUT INSTALLTION or any programming framework. You can put it on an USB stick and read your manga anytime, anywhere!
2) It’s only 800 KB and it’s ultra fast loading. the pages are resized in high quality. you get no line noise with PNG (unlike CDisplay). There different portrait formats: like fullscreen, double page, double layout (it automatically recognize if an image is a double page or not). It even supports mouse gestures. You can even customize MangaMeeya to use different setting profiles. So if you got a laptop and have to change the keys, you can simply load your keysettings for the laptop or your computer. All this in only 800 KB, that’s a damn lot.
so if you always wanted a fast loading, quality manga reader, you should use MangaMeeya. If you want a manga management tool, try out comicrack (win) or comix (linux). In my opinion those heavy tools require a lot more of your ressources for extra features, that personally I don’t give a damn, cuz i dont archive every manga I download. especially owners of older computers might find the loading time of comicrack annoying. if you are an CDisplay owner, then really should think about changing. CDisplay’s performance is CRAPPY compared to the fast loading, light MangaMeeya.
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:07 AM
mangameeya may be fast for some but on my system it was pretty buggy and loaded big files like s*** [at least the mmece [both en and jp versions], as for cdisplay, i renounces using it as soon as i got it and went for cdisplayex and now tx to you silv i’m going to comicrack, it may take an eternity to load but it’s worth it, i have like all the options i can use [and since i do archive all comics that aren't pdf - that means all the manga i have on my pc - it is really useful tx again silv]
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:12 AM
never experienced problems with big files. what was the error?
I just tested it with a 300 MB archive containt multiple volume.zip archives. It loaded in 1 second
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Well, error was:
“WaitForSingleObject TimeOut!
LoadCacheLineClear Delete”
and it only appears in mmece, not in mmecht [note: mmecht opened my sanctuary part 5 of 218.027 kb in about 2secs or less - sorry for not having dl your edition yet :P ], and i had the same error in both the en and the jp version, as for the time i waited for the file to load ~ approx 5 min and no result just a black screen [it did give me a small box that showed the files loading but when it was finished and normally you would get an image i get just the black background]
note: mangameeyaCE is the 2.4 version the one translated, in jp there is also a 7.4 version – that works fine [just that i don't know jp ^_^]
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:33 AM
The archives are either corrupted or the filepath / filename is too long.
June 24th, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Thanks to Ebichiyu for the help, it wored like a charm.
June 24th, 2008 at 2:27 PM
Not sure what you’re talking about CDisplay as being crappy, but I guess that makes sense when it comes to loading huge files like Akira volumes. Anyway, I fixed the scrolling problem by transferring the english MMCE to the jap version folder and edited the ini file so that the menus are in english. I’ll be upping it to the net sometime this week and giving this site props for mentioning such a great program.
June 24th, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Hey, thanks sunfizz, can’t wait to get it :P
June 25th, 2008 at 12:03 PM
In the next release can you support opening last archive/page read on startup. Also using the wheel to scroll through pages is broken. I can scroll back pages but not forward.
Other than that, this so far is my favorite reader to use. I used to use CDisplay then ComicRack.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
@silverado
where u get the new version of mangameeyaCE?
June 26th, 2008 at 3:41 AM
@123: here i think, if i’m not mistaking the program is no longer being actively developed so chances are any new development will happen here tx to suck great guys like silv
June 26th, 2008 at 5:05 AM
News about ComicRack, as of version 0.9.82 it introduced .7z zip support, and as far as i know is the first program to actually have inbuilt support for the .cb7 file name, yes you’ve heard correctly a new comic book file name, that technically is readable with any comic viewer and archiving tool that can work with .7z archives but that currently is supported from the install only by ComicRack, as for adoption from other programs, it will probably only happen if the format becomes popular enough, and that only time can say
June 26th, 2008 at 5:49 AM
who needs that??? it’s as useful as adding a third cupboard in your smart. you can live without!
June 26th, 2008 at 8:29 AM
well, true for something like 75% of all manga that are scanlated and saved in jpeg but for the other formats that use png, gif, and even tif, the better the archiving tool, the more free space, the more free space, well – the more manga to take it’s place ^_^ [and yes for dose kind of files 7z is a little more efficient then rar
June 26th, 2008 at 8:32 AM
7z is a cpu hook. it destroys your reading experience.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:51 PM
As someone who has always used Windows Picture and Fax View Slideshow to read manga I definitely prefer what i’ve been using over everything else
June 26th, 2008 at 6:20 PM
I used that for years, then CDisplay for a year, then MangaMeeyaCe for another year, and now I just switched to the new version, which is way faster and more stable.
June 27th, 2008 at 1:33 AM
Thanks for the recommendation on this program, I love it! I’ve been using ACDSee for over 5 years, but was amazed what MangaMeeya can do as well as how efficient and fast it was.
June 27th, 2008 at 3:48 AM
thanks for the recommendation but I still prefer using picwalker since it has an explorer sidebar wherein you can explorer your different folders for fast browsing sadly the author discontinued the project oh well perhaps when this tool has an explorer bar then it will be a good replacement to picwalker
June 27th, 2008 at 4:21 AM
mangameeya also has a sidebrowser -_-
stop making comments if you aren’t aware of the features!
June 28th, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Here is an updated version by Sunfizz:
Manga Meeya v2.4 Beta Update
http://www.badongo.com/file/10048188
It fixes some scrolling issues. Good job!
June 28th, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Cool and thanks for the program! I’ve been using Gonvisor but it can get a little unresponsive after a while and tends to cut off the side of the pages, so this program is far better. :)
P.S. Btw, what image is that manga from? It looks kinda cool and interesting. :)
June 30th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Btw, here’re some things I noticed:
a) When I click on “Show 100%”, the image instead resizes to what it’d be like if I’d selected “Adjust to Window Size”. If I need to revert to “Show 100%”, I need to select the option twice.
b) The program doesn’t allow more than 1 instance of it to run at the same time. I often read a few manga at the same time, so it’s a bit of a clincher.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
It remembers the last page of each volume, so you can close it without any problem and continue it later, even if you opened another manga title before.

“Simple Comic” is the best for Macintosh.
July 1st, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Can someone help me with this problem?!? Some of my manga reading tools such as mangameeya or picwalker don’t show some .RAR file manga and i don’t kno why, can someone tell me the cause, and what can u do to make your manga reading tool(s) to make them read all manga or what other tool is there which can read all manga???
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:40 AM
I’ve been using this version 2.4 beta since last year, where’s the new one that everyone’s talking about?! Anyway MangaMeeya is still the best. None can beat its speed! And don’t mention CDisplay or it’s later variants here, I hated your grandpa’s comic reader with a passion.
July 25th, 2008 at 10:07 AM
I want to know where the new version is too. I thought 2.4 was it?
Anyway, I’ve tried numerous image viewers and comic book readers. The only one that comes close to MangaMeeya is Compupic, but unfortunately that tool only supports ZIP and hasn’t been updated in ages. No unicode either, afaik.
MM has it all. Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! Multiple archive support and minimal system requirements AND unicode. I use it not only for reading comics, but browsing all my pictures in general. It’s simply that convenient.
July 26th, 2008 at 4:28 AM
The new version? It IS the new version, kinda like 2.4.1
August 4th, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Is there a way to make Meeya display the page number like cdisplay does?
August 20th, 2008 at 7:31 AM
I don’t know what people see in programs like this.
With a single command, ye can have every page open up in a new firefox tab and read without ever touching a mouse. Now _that_ is comfy. And multi-platform.

I seem to be having trouble configuring the hotkey commands. can’t input new ones in. any help? using vista.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:15 AM
Best way to describe MangaMeeya would be like this:
MangaMeeya = Shinkansen Series N700 Bullet Train
[your favorite other reader here] = toddlers bike
harharhar, but don’t take my word for it -try it yourself…
September 9th, 2008 at 9:10 PM
My main problem with this tool is that it scrolls up and down too fast. Is there a way to make it scroll down or up slower instead of these quick jumps?
September 12th, 2008 at 8:03 AM
I think this program is a worthy replacement for CDisplay. The only real issue I have with it is that the program defaults are completely retarded but with a few tweaks and several minutes of work you can get it running exactly like CDisplay. The only flaw I’ve found with it vs CDisplay is that it inserts a dummy page if you have uneven pages and use two page mode. Sadly most of the extra features are things I don’t care about… custom hotkeys is basically it.
September 28th, 2008 at 11:26 AM
May I ask how does it handle txt files in archives?
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 AM
Good software ; but I still like Hamana better.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:33 PM
It’s a neat little app and with some work could easily be the best of its kind, but Comicsviewer is still far ahead of it. Bookmarks, auto-resume where you left off, one-key scrolling (probably the most important feature IMO) – the list of advantages Comicsviewer holds is impressive. On top of that MangaMeeya has a fun bug switching to and from fullscreen which completely turned me off from the reader. I will admit that the interface is nicer but the application itself needs some work before I’d ever abandon Comicsviewer.
October 18th, 2008 at 7:00 AM
How to open URL in MangaMeeya??
It is going to be very troublesome if I keep downloading it..
January 16th, 2009 at 12:13 AM
I also switched from CDisplay to Manga Meeya. I needed larger icons so I took the ToolButtonS file and resized maintaining aspect ratio for the Medium (200×400) and Large (280×560)size bitmaps. Worked great.
I have not been able to figure out the bookmarks. How do you set them, and how to you deleted previously saved bookmarks?
January 16th, 2009 at 7:03 AM
Simply create a hotkey for “File-Add/Del Bookmarks”.
You can open books by going “File-Open Bookmark”
January 16th, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Thank you. It took a minute to figure out how to added and remove a bookmark with that menu function. Is the bookmark only saving the beginning of the file (page one), or should it preserve the page you are at? When I save a bookmark, it always goes to page one; it never saves the current page I am at.

This is really nice. I’ve been using it for a couple years now. It outperforms CDisplay, ACDSee, and other free third party image editor (bundled w/ a viewer). When I first started using it, after an hour, I knew MMCE exceeded where its competitors failed.
MMCE has a nice interface, especially the the ability to customize the display by dragging it to all four corners. A nice slider, including filters to adjust images to better fit your preference; a dozen of scaling options and best of all, the amazing Modes:
Fullscreen ENTER
Reading Mode R
Thumbnail Mode T
Explorer Mode E
I cannot live without MMCE, it’s invaluable. If one would give this manga viewer a try for what it’s worth, I can assure that disappointment will not be a huge factor. I probably spared myself a lot of hassle sticking with other programs. Thinking back, I must have saved hours of wasted time not knowing MMCE existed. -_-;`
January 25th, 2009 at 8:10 AM
hi, thank you for introducing me to mangameeya. i really love it!! :D however, i have one problem with it. if the archive contains a .txt file somehow it will not open the images and is stuck at the .txt file. is there something i can do about this? thanks :)
January 25th, 2009 at 8:35 AM
I just tested it with a txt file. It worked just splendid. It did not load the txt file at all. So maybe it’s only at your end?
January 30th, 2009 at 2:46 PM
Hi,
Are there any settings that anyone can recommend? i am using scaling option Linear Interpolation and No sharpness filter.
Btw will there be any new versions? and does this software have a homepage?
Thanx a lot
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Q: if the archive contains a .txt file somehow it will not open the images and is stuck at the .txt file. is there something i can do about this?
A: Uncheck “Text Priority” under Menu>Tools>Configuration>Text(tab)
I had this exact same problem and got help from another user. So don’t think I’m some kind of genius. ;)
=-=-=-=-=-=
As for settings… I’m using Reading Mode, 1 Image, Fit L/W, Avg Pixel. I think the scaling really comes down to your monitor and eyes. Some folks like things sharpened, others a bit more blurred. I think LCD users might prefer the blurring (due to sharper defined pixels in comparison to most monitors)
I have no idea what Open URL, Guidebook and Bookmarks are doing though. Haven’t really looked into them as yet.
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Bookmark lets you save your favourite chapters or volumes.
openn url lets you read ddl links directly with manameeya. it kinda streams rhe archive. works with direct links only and saves you traffic.
February 8th, 2009 at 7:36 AM
i tried the open url as direct link. but it does not understand next pages. Hope it could understand and change link 002.jpg 003.jpg and like this.
February 8th, 2009 at 9:19 AM
No, it only reads rar and zip archives.
February 8th, 2009 at 8:01 PM
changing page should be easy on a direct link if software could accept link with wildcards. ex: 00(*).jpg where * = 1-10
and one more thing software doesnt open tif file format.
also i asked something earlier. where is the homepage of this software? and will there be new versions how can we keep ourselves up to date?
February 11th, 2009 at 10:28 AM
Very useful files search engine. http://Indexoffiles.com is a search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.
February 14th, 2009 at 6:44 AM
Portor,
I don’t think their is a homepage for Manga Meeya. As I understand the program’s history: it was made for a specific project, a dispute arose between the programmer and project owners, and MM was released onto the internet as a kind of copyrighted but orphaned program. Currently it’s downloadable from several sites, although no one “owns” it per se since the original programmer is not stepping forward.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:51 AM
An earlier poster “esso” mentioned a problem that I’m also experiencing. Under Tools-Customize-Mouse 1, I set the Wheel to “Page Scroll”. Scrolling up (i.e. scrolling backwards) works fine. However, scrolling down (i.e. scrolling forward) is very buggy. I can scroll down to the end of a page, but it won’t continue on to the next page. Sometimes it flickers a bit and shows the next page, but then immediately goes back to the page I was on. Any fixes for this problem?

It would be very handy if it could read .sitx archives. It is a lossless jpeg compression format that reduces by up to 30% the original size losslessly. It would be very adequate for saving space.

Nobody has mentioned the best feature about this reader, Lanczos resizing!!! Make sure to enable it in the menu… CLEAR, non fuzzy resizes, yes!

i’m using ComicsViewer (http://skywq.com/english/soft/973.htm)
March 17th, 2009 at 5:34 AM
This is a great way to view comics, thanks for the program (former CDisplay user when I first started, but this is more convenient as I want to quickly read through all my archives efficiently.
One question though, how do I change the hotkeys? I try to press the ‘modify’ button and type in a character but when I press ‘OK’ it doesn’t save it. How do I fix it?
April 1st, 2009 at 6:20 PM
For some reason it doesn’t let me assign cursor or ctrl/alt/… keys in hotkeys. How do I do that…
May 16th, 2009 at 8:13 AM
I have Vista and the newest version of MangaMeeya and can’t modify the hotkeys and settings to change the button compinations. When I press ‘OK’ it doesn’t save. Can this be fixed?
The older version of MangaMeeya allowed me to change the hotkeys for example change the command for Next Page from SPACE to ->, in the new version I get a sound signal from my computer if I trie to modify the settings :(
May 26th, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Hello I am a new comic reader and i had downloaded Dragon Ball Comic series. But No one like cdisplay or cdisplayex has seem able to even open that but Manga Reading tool does that job. it is very nice tool since it even not require to install.
Thank You for the Product
September 10th, 2009 at 9:54 PM
anybody know how to set this up in a way like CDisplay where you just have to press space bar and it scrolls from right to left, top to bottom. i’m kinda confuse on the configuration part. loved the software. thanks!
September 11th, 2009 at 10:54 AM
i dont know to be honest,
but i dont think you can do that.
i just have it full screen, and use the middle button magnify circle thing to look at smaller stuffs..

An English Translation (Menu & Dialog Box) of MangaMeeya 7.4b JP Version
[URL=http://depositfiles.com/files/x3car1mho]http://depositfiles.com/files/x3car1mho[/URL]
September 25th, 2009 at 8:57 AM
i still prefer the proper eng version than this above ^
this one is a little weird i find. unstable.
and its not fully ttranslated
October 4th, 2009 at 1:51 AM
Hmm…
Chinese version seems like it has messed up dialog windows: bottom part of the dialog box in options is covered up and you cant access some settings.
@kixx
Looks like a translation of the Chinese version (bottom of tabs in options are still messed up).
And who was translating it anyway?
I have no idea what a half of those “translated” options say. lol
Example: “Disable repeat run”, which refers to using a single instance of mangameeya…or “Display file name scrolling” which should be “Show scrollbars” X_x
I think I’ll try to find a JP version and give it a go with hex editing and Google translate ^_^.
October 4th, 2009 at 6:51 PM
I’ve found Japanese v7.4 and unlike in the chinese version, there are no probs within option tabs…
Aaaannnd, i’ve spent ca 10+ Hours straight editing it a hex editor and translating it bit by bit with google translate >_>
That uber-engrish translation that kixx posted above, i’ve used it as a starting point (some of those “translations” are still included in my file), then translated all dropdown menus, buttons/key names, gesture options and did better icon-buttons (found most of them on the web) so anyway, the GUI is now “completely” in engrish and looking good.
P.S.:
I also did some error/info dialog translations, but most are still untranslated…
Here is an image of new engrish version:

And here is the download link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/288640468/MangaMeeya_v7.4eng.rar
P.s.
Archive contains japanese exe as well, you can run them both if you want to.
have phun, iam off to bed
October 5th, 2009 at 12:10 PM
NeoJam – thanks! im gonna check that out… will report back my findings.
is that a chrono trigger doujin you are reading in the screenshot!?
October 5th, 2009 at 1:45 PM
You’re welcome, and no, its not a doujin i’m reading there,
its just some random image from pixiv. lol
p.s.
I’ve made some more “translations”, but it’s too few to justify a new upload. I gonna post a “new” version later once i translate some more stuff.
Any help with translation would be great too, so if you see some “engrish” sentences and know what their proper English translation is, post it here, ill correct it. The same is with the leftover japanese data that you see. (You can use the included japanese exe as a reference for translations, if you know japanese.)
P.s.s
If anyone knows a proper translation for “指定範囲拡大前のスケールに戻す” let me know, since its the only command still untranslated (i temporary renamed it to “No frikken idea what it is for” in the file ive posted, in case someone was wondering). Google says its “Before returning to the scale of expansion in the range specified” X_x…
October 5th, 2009 at 4:22 PM
well, i had a look at your new version and it seems pretty damn good!
good job so far!
October 7th, 2009 at 3:29 AM
Thanks for the update. I was just wondering if there was a update for this. Surprisingly there is! thanks again.
October 10th, 2009 at 11:50 AM
“指定範囲拡大前のスケールに戻す”
i can’t find this button anywhere on the menus…
but my guess is: returning to the original scale (the scale before you zoomed in/out). so it’s either a step back/undo for zoom, or it takes you back to the default scale before you zoomed in/out.
October 10th, 2009 at 11:54 AM
by the way, what happened to the “insert a blank page before 1st page” option in this version release?
and i never figured out how the bookmark function works. can it bookmark multiple pages within a rar/zip file? i normally read magazines with it, and it’ll be really useful if i can bookmark pages so i can go back to them without flipping through all the pages again the next time..
October 13th, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Hi guys, here is a new version with a shitload of new translations and engrish corrections (also added few new icons and buttons.):
http://rapidshare.com/files/292553329/MangaMeeya_v7.4eng_REV2.0.rar
Wanted to post this one 3 days aqo, but my PC’s PSU died… :/
@dd
“指定範囲拡大前のスケールに戻す” it’s the last function you can choose in the settings of mouse buttons.
“what happened to the “insert a blank page before 1st page” option”?
Where was it? need more info.
About bookmarking, there are 3 different bookmark options in mangameeya:
1.”Add to Bookmark list”: just adds current folder to the bookmark list at the bookmark sidebar.
2.”Mark reading position”: marks reading position in the images list at the image toolbar.
3.”Add/Remove image from the Table of Contents”: Marks multiple images by adding them to TOC.
So if you want to mark multiple images, youll need 3rd option (then just open the TOC sidebar to jump to your bookmars faster).
P.s.
Has anyone checked out the “add image as book spine to the bookshelf” option? I love it.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 AM
thanks for the new link
>>“what happened to the “insert a blank page before 1st page” option”?
>Where was it? need more info.
this was available in the mangameeyaCE 2.4, under its “view” menu. it lets you insert a blank page before the 1st page. what it does is that it places a blank page for you along side the cover page, so that it offsets the rest of your pages when you read the pages beyond. only works for double-page viewing mode.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:42 AM
As soon as you have translated everything I will announce the new version and credit you :)
Also there is an annoying bug. If you customize the shortkeys it doesn’t let you create a blank slot. The only way to create delete a shortcut is by clicking the right button of the mouse. I would appreciate it if you could add this information on the shortkey page so that ppl know how to deselect / delete a shortkey.

October 22nd, 2009 at 12:37 PM
@dd
its now under “General 1″ tab in configuration (2-page view settings).
@silverado
That info is already there, right on top of Keyboard settings window:
“Keyboard settings. Click on field to assign a hotkey, right-click a field to clear it”
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:29 PM
@neojam, where is the thumbnail and reading mode in ver7? In 2.4, the hotkeys for it was ‘t’ and ‘r’.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:33 PM
thumbnail mode was priceless. it turns the viewing to continuous without having to turn every single page.
October 24th, 2009 at 1:58 PM
@darkrwo
Nope, its not there anymore…no idea why it was removed, i liked it as well.
There is a “scroll and turn” function now, which you could map to mouse wheel or keyboard keys.
What it does is basically open next/previous image for you after you reach bottom/top of an image. Not as fancy as thumbnail mode in CE version, though…
October 27th, 2009 at 4:25 AM
@neojam, alright, thanks.
i’ll stick w/ CE for now. i’ll continue waiting for next update that will include thumbnail mode.
October 27th, 2009 at 12:39 PM
As far as i know, there will be no new versions, since the project was closed due to some GPL violations. :(
Here is my new translation (rev2.01) of 7.4b, nothing major to report, just few “engrish” corrections. I don’t think that there is any need to do more translations on this, so for now I’m done with it (if there will be any requests for corrections & etc, i might update it again)
http://rapidshare.com/files/298549155/MangaMeeya_v7.4b_ENG_Rev2.01.rar
btw.
I was on a lookout for another viewer, since mangameeya’s file managing functions suck and stumbled upon another japanese viewer called “Leeyes”
http://www3.tokai.or.jp/boxes/leeyes/
I’m currently reviewing it.
It uses Susie plugins (doesn’t work without them), it can read archives inside archives, has various filters (sharpening, color, gamma & etc) and has decent file managing functions. I’ll might translate it as well…

Hi. Just checked out your Mangameeya 7.4 Eng. Very awesome. I used Mangameeya for quite some time and now I can finally config it the way I want. Thank you!
December 4th, 2009 at 12:39 AM
How exactly do you change shortcut keys? Did anyone figure it out. I can’t seem to change them. I even tried using the ascii code for (right arrow) button but it doesn’t seem to work. Can someone help me please?
December 4th, 2009 at 6:12 PM
I dunno. I still use the old english version
Have you tried the new version that’s a few comments up??
December 9th, 2009 at 1:08 AM
Funny, for a software that prompts to have everything, doesnt even have a minimize button. SAD~
December 12th, 2009 at 9:11 PM
@Strangerfromafarcoast
it has both minimize features: standard minimize and minimize to tray. Both buttons can be created on the Tool bar.
December 13th, 2009 at 8:09 PM
wow great program!
i was looking for a program to read mangás and this is the best program i found.
good job and thanks a lot ^^
December 17th, 2009 at 5:05 PM
@doeshave,
no, there is’nt and there isnt even a way to change the hotkey for minimize
December 21st, 2009 at 2:52 PM
@Strangerfromafarcoast
It’s there and I’m using it if you mean Mangameeya7.4 version, can’t remember if its in V2.4 though…
January 6th, 2010 at 3:18 AM
Okay, i just found out that v7.4(eng translated) works better as in it looks more beautiful, more customizable and has the minimize buttons i was looking for. But theres one tiny flaw i found. The “minimize to tray” works on fullscreen but the “minimize windows” doesn’t.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:20 PM
This program is brilliant, love it!! I never use any other Manga or Comic reader now. Keep updating this program for English don’t let it diee!
February 4th, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Thank you very much, this the best manga reader i have found for windows.
This simple but have alot feature i needed for reading my manga colection at work place.
( i’am linux user but at work place i use windows, and in linux i use comix from http://comix.sourceforge.net/ )
