My DS Internet browser project has walked another step. This time it's a big one, but still alpha, though.

Seems to lock up after displaying "about:blank" here...

For me, it freezes at the spinning logo on the bottom screen with the upper screen red. I've patched with DLDI and the Okiwi folder is on the root of my card. I'm using a Supercard miniSD, and both scsd.dldi and scsd_moon.dldi fail.
I don't think it's a connection issue, as other homebrew works fine with my connection (DSOrganize, DSLinux, Bunjalloo, etc)

That might just be the font-renderer crunching on. The process took 2-3 minutes on both of my flashcarts.

Yeah, I just tried it with my other miniSD card. The screen didn't go red this time, and after a minute the page loaded.
I'm amazed that it actually got this far. After the whole Gnirfleo ordeal I had my doubts, so I'm glad to see that this project actually exists.
Shame images couldn't be included, and sometimes you can't tell the difference between normal text and links, but it's looking very professional. Good job.

How long did you wait? The initial run may take a while.
#136973 - magicdanw - Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:39 pm
I waited about 10 minutes and it was still "loading." Of course, my battery is low (I lost the charger and haven't gotten a new one yet), so maybe low power screwed it up.
#136974 - dualscreenman - Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:47 pm
In theory, as long as the battery isn't out of juice it shouldn't make a difference.

I registered here just to say, this app works wonders. Hasn't crashed for me yet :)
I would like to make one suggestion though. Maybe not parse images, but display their alt tags?
#136999 - Cid2Mizard - Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:15 am
release a sc.nds ??

Cid2Mizard...rename the .ds.gba to .sc.nds
#137003 - chatterbug89 - Tue Aug 07, 2007 8:13 am
Pretty cool. I've been playing around with it and all the pages loaded and rendered pretty fast for me. Unfortunately, there were a bunch of sites that just didn't work at all and some that just barely worked (I coulden't read my slashdot news :( ).
Either way, this is pretty cool. It still has a long ways to go, but cool none the less. It'd be great if it comes to the point where the majority of pages render fine with pictures...I have yet to buy opera (it really isn't at the top of my list of things to buy either though...).

You have done great work with this. Even if not quite the most featureful (so far), Okiwi seems clearly the best designed homebrew web browser for the DS because of its forward-thinking use of CSS stuff and its smooth, non-obtrusive user interface. (And, because it manages colour, it is the most visually appealing, too).
Having followed your web log for a while, I can see that you have worked really hard to make this browser properly, following web browser standards and conventions quite solidly.
Good luck with the future!
One thing I have noticed trouble with is accessing the following URL:
http://litstudytool.googlepages.com/
It goes between "Connecting" and "Waiting For Response" for a long while, then stops. (Could it be because of redirects associated with GooglePages, some other weird thing Google Pages does, or maybe Google Analytics?).
More stuff:
-Port numbers in the URL do not work. (For example, 192.168.1.120:81 will not be resolved).
-That site I tried to navigate to renders pretty well. (Good sign!). However, crazy stuff is happening with linking between pages.
The URL format is something like this:
http://192.168.1.120/index.php?page=/aboutus§=/aboutus
Here is an example of a link:
<a href="index.php?page=/aboutus&sect=/aboutus">
Normally, "&" should turn into an ampersand when the link is activated. However, in Okiwi, I do not believe that is happening; the URL that it has navigated to still has "&". It appears to be tacking that onto the end of the current URL, as well. Here is what happens if I click a link in Okiwi:
The URL becomes 192.168.1.120/index.php?page=/aboutus&sect=/aboutus.
After navigating for a while, the URL becomes really weird, though.
192.168.1.120/index.php?page=aboutus/something&sect=/index.php?page=/aboutus&sect=/aboutus
I believe my script is not picking up the section passed (in the sect variable) via the url, so it ends up using "/". (Actually, that shouldn't happen, so I could be wrong). Maybe Okiwi is tacking "index.php?..." onto the end of the url because it ends with a slash?

In the couple of pages I navigated to, the layout was really messed up, such as that a bunch of <br> tags weren't working, and links aren't very clear, (can't tell the difference from normal text.)

yeah, i'm also getting an infinite spiral. i waited about 1 minute before powering off.
using ez4.
EDIT: My bad, i tried again and it booted. however i gives a message "unable to resolve host"
Also no sleep mode.
EDIT2: actually i think i mucked up my wireless settings, so i'll confirm soon.
EDIT3: fixed my settings and its working fine
thanks alot for your work.
The keyboard design is excellent btw (don't know if you are the one who designed it)
#137256 - Mr. Picklesworth - Thu Aug 09, 2007 4:34 pm
Yes, that keyboard is very clever. I was a little uncertain about having so many keys, but it makes fine sense to do it that way since we have a lot of vertical space, and it would be completely wasted with a more "conventional" layout.
I also like that I can tap to place the cursor at different points in the text I am typing. Very nice!
I do have a problem with the keyboard, though, and that is the lack of key repeat. If I want to erase a lot of text, I have to press Backspace a lot of times. It would be good if I could just press Backspace and hold it for a while.

I just fixed my wireless settings. I'm trying it now and I still get a red/pink/white screen at the top and the swirling thing at the bottom...
How long do I have to wait? I'm running Supercard SD patched with scsd_moon.dldi. Should I run the .sc.nds or .nds?
#137358 - dantheman - Fri Aug 10, 2007 8:16 pm
If you get a red screen at the top, something is wrong. On my Supercard miniSD, I somehow fixed it by copying over the *.nds file (not *.sc.nds) as well as recopying the Okiwi folder. After DLDI patching with SCSD.dldi, it worked even though it hadn't previously. Not sure why it worked.
#137359 - Dood77 - Fri Aug 10, 2007 8:49 pm
Worked right away (after ~2 mins. of the spiral) with my SCminiSD. Okiwi.nds, SCSD.dldi, extracted to root.

with no download link.(This means I can't download it.)
