I'm working on a mobile version of Tales Union (which will be used Union-wide eventually). Since this is my first time working on such a design, I'm needing some help for testing it out.

If you have a Nintendo DSi (or a Nintendo DS "Phat"/Lite with the Browser) and/or a PlayStation Portable/PSPgo, if you could spend some time testing it out and trying to "break" it (i.e. finding bugs), it'd be a great help. Some of the sections from the main website aren't there yet since I haven't recoded/coded them, just as an FYI.

For PSP owners: Is the text size too small? I initially coded the text size for the DSi, but I was on the fence about how the size appeared on the PSP.

I'm on it right now(PSP) and everything seems to be working just fine the video section won't load, but I'm assuming that is because the coding isn't done. But the articles and images are working!

And the text size is just right. Keep up the good work

Yeah, videos won't work on the DS/PSP since neither support it. Not sure if the Image Gallery will be either --- since neither can download images.

Everything data-wise should be supported. Gonna try to get the news archive up and running here too, but I need to code it in a way that doesn't make for huge load times. Also need to get tags working here as well.

Might delay the news functionality until a later release, since I would prefer to link in the Union-wide commenting system into it at the same time.

Basically been working on it a little bit at a time off and on, but at least the general layout scheme is finalized, so it's coding from here on out.

Great work with the site. Everything is working perfectly with my PSP and no problems at all so far

I even got it so if you went to the DSi, the boxart/images scale.

Speaking of that, is the boxart on the games pages (and characters and glossary for that matter) too big? I got the size right on the DSi, but I'm not sure about the PSP.

lemme check

Yep, it's looking good, everything seems to be the right size and fits on the screen well.

I'm pretty sure the PSP can, unless you mean something different than I'm thinking of by "download images". Aaanyway, the site seems to be working great and the text size is fine on ma PSP. You should probably put a small "Tales Union" header at the top of each page, just its not obvious what the site actually is atm.

I mean that the images can't actually be downloaded onto the MS/storage on the PSPgo --- although I could possibly just have them there to look at --- might code a special viewer for the systems in that case.

You can save images on the PSP browser: Hover over an image, go to File, Save Image. Also I just tried it on my phone - seems to work very well there too.

Oh wow, they added that? I've never seen that before.
