Okiwi web browser v0.2 REALEASED!!!

[jkill28]

:D http://okiwi.blogspot.com/ GO THERE FOR THE DETAILS im so exited and it works on mmd check out the website for details.ENJOY

It allows to read files from the card (by entering addresses like file:///path, like, for example, file:///test.html) or Internet (http://...). Some pages are displayed fairly well (specially blogs, like this, which is preconfigured as the home page), while others don't work at all, so I'll have to investigate little by little what Okiwi fails to know.

By now it's able to interpret numerous CSS 2.1 properties, like margins, paddings, floating, colors, etc., altough there are several missing. Some other things not done yet are: tables, forms, cookies and images. There are also some other bugs and lacks I'm aware of.

To scroll a page, dragging with the stylus is still the only way. 75% and 150% zoom levels, which were missing in the first version, have been added. To follow a link, it's enough to "click" on it, altough it doesn't work always, and I must debug it.

The good news is that, from now on, new versions will be released with a much higher frequency. I'll release one each time I implement one of the lacking features or fix important bugs.

The installation procedure of this release is the same as the last, so I encourage the reading of the instructions I published that time. If someone has still the old version in his card, it's recommended to erase it completely before installing this one.

The new version is a HUGE improvement. It still has alot of work left but it looks very promising.

Is a Slot 2 card neccessary?

[talonreaper]

Wow, a homebrew that DOESN'T work with the 00:00 time thing for the MMD. I can't get this to run without either having the time set to 100+ (cannot connect to AP) or using DSOrganize 2.8 GBAX with the new load.bin and having the time 0000-0100 (works flawlessly). I wonder if MCM/Max Overload works with homebrew...

[xshinox]

i suggest using this homebrew AT YOUR OWN RISK.
i lost my save files from using this so if i were you, i'd make back ups of your saves.

I have a Supercard SD, had to patch the "okiwi.nds" file with "scsd.dldi" using dlditool-win32gui. When you patch it, the program will tell you what existing DLDI driver was previously on there (which was for supercard lite, not sd).

YOU WILL GET WHITE SCREENS IF YOU DON'T PATCH.

Also, at boot up you will see a green swirl, and yes it does seem to take forever to load. Just wait a few minutes and it should load, mine took a while and now it is working. Good luck

all im getting is the green twirling thing
im using a m3 simple, is there anything else i need to patch?

[Xenogears V]

Nice tool, Thanks!.

[dbn045]

do you need a slot 2 card for images?

Does it work with a r4 because mine isn't loading it has been at the spinning part for 8 mins now and nothing

nvm got it

[Spnoz]

Doesn't seem to work on my G6 Lite. I've patched it with the latest DLDI drivers, but all it does is boot to the Okiwi screen and none of the browser buttons can be clicked, so I'm stuck at this blank page.

My network settings are all ok, I verified them. (I presume it uses the info from the DS Wiifi Setup? - or is there a place where we have to enter our network info?)

[Gatecrasher3]

"unable to resolve host"
what?

[jkill28]

well my green twirly thing lasted at least 10-15 mins but after that i dont get it again so just let it spin and so something welse mean while.

[bgmnt]

do you need a slot 2 card for images?
There are no images.

[Sharkpunch]

Same problems for me. It cant resolve the host. Green thing spins for about a minute but cant find my WiFi connection. I updated the DLDI and everything. What could the problem be? (Using an R4 DS, updated firmware etc.)

[phonk]

I' ve same problem. The Browser starts fine.

But there are no Images and no Forms.

Even google shows a blank site :-(

Not a really usable software !

I had the same problem.

The Solution was to configure WIFI Connection first time in Mario Kart DS an save this.

After that OKiwi got a Connection to the internet.

[aznpride93]

all i get is black screens

[kuckus]

I get the green swirly thing forever and the top screen turns red, which means something is missing aparently even though I've tried it multiple times. I use an SC SD btw

[slazman999]

ok im useing the max media player gigapack by datel... so the crappyist thing on the market... well the little green thing swirls for maybe 30 seconds or so then the program loads and connects to the okiwi blog... i took a look at google and the pic of google doesnt load and nither does the forum area so you cant search anything then i took a look at this thred and it only took about 16 seconds to load the thred in simple table, text form but i mean its pretty nicely made, the keyboard is primitive but its there and well all i did to get it to work was patch it with the dldi tool and yeah... i say its a HUGE step up from the first alpha


PS: ok i jsut tryed to use Max Overload to play pokemon D and my pokemon D game wouldnt load so i had to take okiwi off my gigapack thing and put the bootme.nds file on so it reinstalled the firmware but after that it bugged out for a sec and i kept getting white screens while loading pokemon and even loading the bootme file on startup but after a few minutes and blowing into the slot 2 thing a few times pokemon loaded without a hitch and it still kept my save file so its all good :D

yeah you have to make sure your ds isnt auto finding your connection... you have to go to your router site which is most likely 192.168.0.1 and your username and pass is on the bottom of your router... just look through there and make sure everything is right and yeah.... for your ip set it to like 192.168.0.7 or something unless you have more the 7 things connected to your router then go a bit higher to make sure there is room

it's Web browser Supports small Images so you can surf with ease:D
Just follow my link above me and patched it to get to work

[fatcat87]

I got to the screen after the twirling green circle. and then it would stop on the about blank screed. My solution was to make my connection work in Mario Kart. my dns was wrong after i updated it it worked fine. hope that helps some one. the browser is still limited but o-well one day
