Just to keep you up to date, there's another DS internet browser comin out! Hurray... lol look at the screens at their blogspot (http://gnirfleo.blogspot.com/). It looks great, BTW.

[Falcozx]

For homebrew browsers do you need to use a slot 2 device or is it ok to use slot 1?

[voteforpedro36]

I'd say either or. It wouldn't make a difference I wouldn't think...

[nat1192]

That depends on whether or not the Browsers are going to use the RAM extensions. I would say slot-1 s would most likely run it very slow because they don't have the extra ~32MB of RAM that the Slot-2 and Opera Paks have.

[13thReaper]

will it work on MMD

[voteforpedro36]

Yeah I think it's suppose to have DLDI...

YAY WOOT! WOOT!

No worries there! Quoted from the official blog:
Oh, and the last thing: There will be 4 different versions. They are somehow the same, but they differ in size. We don't know the exact sizes yet, but the difference is the amount of space that can be stored in the file. That is -to be honest- the only thing that's left to do here (and some parts of the interface, but that's not that important). The biggest file will probably have around 100 mb of space to store images, favorites, pages and maybe Flash in the future. :)If you don't have enough space on your Flash Card, you can always use a smaller one.

This implies that they will have up to 100mb INSIDE the rom

[bgmnt]

That can't be right. I think it means that there will be an external 100 MB file. The .nds file itself must be loaded into the DS's 4 MB of RAM. For instance, you can load an 8 MB mp3 file from within Moonshell, but the Moonshell.nds file must be less than 4 MB for it to boot.

.nds files that are larger than 4 MB can only be run on slot-2 devices with GBA compatibility, as that raises the limit to 32 MB.

I think you should just shut the hell up, and wait another fucking 3 hours before it's tommorow. Oh, that's here, so maybe that doesn't apply to you. Lol, stop arguing and just wait!

[bgmnt]

o_O WTF did I say? Arguing about what? I'm merely saying that it's impossible for the .nds file itself to be 100 MB in size, though it's entirely possible that an external file could be that large.

I fail to see the argument you claim we're having.

Though as long as we're speaking of timezones, it's currently 12:37 AM where I live. It's been the 24th for 37 minutes now. LAWL WHERE'S TEH BROWZAR?!?! ;)

[voteforpedro36]

You must live in the same time zone as me. You said it was 12:37, and it says (in my time zone) that it was 12:38 when you posted. Anyway, it seemed a lot like me you were having an arguement...

[slazman999]

WHERE IS IT!!!! its 8:56am and i would have slept more but the anticipation made me not be able to fall asleep again (i think there might be a one word word i could put in there except for the long sentece thing but i cant think right now) BUT WHERE IS IT

[justhereforone]

:mad: people should really learn to have some patience, seriously. Gnirfleo said it would be released today, but we don't know what time of day he was talking about, nor do we know what time zone he is in.

[dbn045]

yup same exact thing i was thinking. Did you see how many comments there is on Gnirfleo. Right now there is 576 comments and they are almost all about them complaining.Its crazy how many people are going crazy because it hasn't realised yet.

[SpeedyVT]

It may be one of those in the late afternoon release so I'm just gonna wait till the release it.

[slazman999]

OMG you know what i was just thinking...you know what would be really funny....if the browser sucked....like really sucked....like 20min to load a page and the keyboard is all screwed up....the makers would be laughing soo much...i know i would

It would be funny, but I highly doubt the dev's would do that. They would be embarassed too...

[finny`]

(hey, i'm new)
on his blog the release should supposedly be today, nothing yet though? he said he would release it around the same time as a day after the entry he posted in his blog, now the entry says it was posted around 3:00, but he said 23:00 (GMT+1) , i'm confused. anybody know anything else?

[slazman999]

the blog time is messed up...i don't know what timezone its set up for but i just posted a comment and it said it was 6:24 when its really 8:24...you can go here (http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc) to get a time converter to see what time it will be for you :D its gonna be 4am in central standard time on Monday so I'm gonna have to wait till after school....it gonna drive me nuts

[furyoo]

There are 900+ comments on the blog because people think it's a hoax. And who can blame them?

If you were told to expect something that did not materialise, will you still carry on believing that it's just delayed? I mean, how naive can anyone get?

If it does come out, it would be nice. I would be glad to be proven wrong. But right now, I'm in the camp that it's a hoax, and this is borne out of what I've seen thus far from the project. Which is nothing, to be fair. Even Okiwi has an alpha version that does something.

A lot of inane comments on the site, no doubt. But did you see the comments before the 24th of March? There were no better. Yes the posts now are pretty cruel, but the posts before would make even the Care bears cringe. So much patting on the back and "you the man" posts for what?

I wish people would reserve praise for after work has been done, not before. It just makes more sense.

[Gatecrasher3]

any new news?

[darig0n]

no he didnt send a notice or the files hea fraud more like SUPER BIOTCH

[Gatecrasher3]

so im reading on the gnirfleo forums that its not going to get released for a few days now

but those could just be people posting BS comments.

[slazman999]

the guy making Gnirfleo said hes having some stuff on his mind and cant post it right now but is sending it out to some people


"Yes, I do read all the comments, and yes, I did delete some spam. I don't want to waste my time to delete most spam, but I deleted some.

I'm sorry for not releasing the browser. I have other things on my mind right now. I will give another developer some rights to post on this blog as soon as she has time.

PS: I might send the NDS file to some people, but I'm still thinking about that. They will let you know if it's fake or not.

Greets"

so yeah keep waiting...you have waited 6 months i dont think a few days will kill you

[slazman999]

hey does anyone know if he is going to impliment a mifi searcher and the ability to change your wifi settings? just in case i go into starbucks or dunn brothers coffee or a hotel or something

[voteforpedro36]

Hey, next time, get it right. It's Datel.

[slazman999]

sorry i kinda dont pay attention to my brand name thingy.... but i think you got the idea anyway :D

[adas1023]

good the okiwi alpha doesnt include web browsing, which is what i thought the point of it was

[FRuMMaGe]

Of course the point is to include web browsing, idiot. This was just a demo of how it will look when it's finished.

Yah most people don't understand the concepts of things like Alphas (even though the current Okiwi release should have just been called a CTP)

[SpeedyVT]

I thought it looked pretty nice... But It would also be nice to do something.

its called a joke, calm yourself!

[finny`]

Theirs a new post 'supposedly' from a programmer but i'm not keeping my hopes up, the excuse made in the blog post was pathetic and so unlikely and i think thats where they've been found out:

Let's give an update?

Wow, I finally received the rights to post here.
You're all waiting for the file, right? The problem is: We found a very nasty bug when using Gnirfleo. When browsing some website, your Memory card became corrupted. We tried formatting it, but it didn't work. Sooo, basically: we ruined some memory cards. We already bought some new ones, but we're trying to fix this bug now.

I also noted that there was somebody in the comments claiming to received the browser. I can assure you: This is NOT true. We haven't mailed anyone. Why would we send it to somebody who just gave his e-mail? If we send the file to somebody, it will be somebody who is well known in the DS-scene, or maybe some admin from a respected site.

Well, that's about it. We'll inform you when we fixed the bug.

[strongesthylian]

I've lost faith with the browser. Though I am intrigued enough to keep tabs on it to see the results of how many people get let down.

[Babazoz]

I hate to break it to some of you folks, but this is more than likely a fake. Consider the link below, containing this picture, taken from Gnirfleo's website.

It's a good idea in theory, only how are you going to be able to work controls on the LEFT side, seeing as how it's not a touch screen? :confused:

Nice, looks pretty well layed out and a good idea BUT still doesn't prove it, can be done without actually browsing the web, but this has given me slightly more faith.

[voteforpedro36]

I'm debating between calling you guys queer for calling it fake and calling you queer for talking about it even though you think it's fake. Damn, hard choice...

[SpeedyVT]

Bla bla... I don't care. If it is ready they will release it when it is ready. But to me I can care less if it is a fake or not. I just want a browser for the ds and thats final.
