DS Misc > good ds webbrowser homebrew?

#154642 - 11X_daemon_X11 - Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:03 pm

ok, right now im on dsorganizes webbrowser, so my spelling is probably gona be pretty bad. i was wondering what the best homebrew webbrowser was because this one seems to crash quite a bit when loading sites with more than 20 pics, which gets anoying when youre trying to find games you might want toplay. any suggestions?

the question rather is: *are* there any other usable hb web browsers? honestly, i haven't seen any.

despite that, should you find one, that's more reliable and useful, please share that knowledge! :^)

Well, Okiwi isn't the worst, but it doesn't load half the websites you try to goto. atleast with the DSOrganize it loads mostly all sites (but when it gets to render it freezes)

Maybe the problem with DSOrganize is that you're using version 3.2? If that's the case, you should downgrade to 3.1129. It's much more stable.

Maybe someone could port java so we can run opera mini :D

#154693 - silent_code - Sun Apr 20, 2008 1:00 pm

or directly port opera mini to native c++ (includes writing a lot of stuff that comes "for free" with java). ;^D

That could be the reason, wolped xD did it have less problems on pages with images (and that needed cookies)

Blatant plug, but if you have a RAM pack that's supported, I find the text mode browsers (links and retawqs) are pretty handy once you get used to them. I wouldn't bother using the graphical mode in links as it is still quite buggy.

You could set non-graphical Links to show [ IMG ] where the image would go on the page, then click on that to download it to your card, then use graphical Links to view it. At least that's what I do, which is helped immensely by tab-completion.

Without slot-2 RAM, look into Bunjalloo and possibly DSHobro if you're fine with leaving a server running on your computer all the time.

Hey, How do you get it to download to your card anyway? i've never figured that out... does it have to be in text extended mode or what?

Bunjalloo works nicely for me, but has stability problems. Sometimes when it freezes it does something odd to the wifi hardware that leaves it unable to reconnect for a while. O_o

I like that browser. I had a couple of crashes, but nothing that made it so it wouldn't connect :p Would getting an expansion pak help it with the crashing? But, its pretty good, even when you onlyhave 3 bars (so saysDS organize) of connection. :p
