not as painful as you'd think, really

i heard the browser was slow as fuck.

your thoughts?

6/13/2007 10:30:10 PM

saying "im posting from my DS lite" is equivalent to saying "i like cock in my ass"

6/13/2007 10:31:13 PM

thats pretty cool frosh. i wonder how much love the internet browser will get by DS users over here.

6/13/2007 10:32:55 PM

you wouldnt be the first crazy black man to tell frosh that he is gay. ive witnessed it with my own eyes.

You have the option to "type" with the stylus on a virtual keyboard or use handwriting recognition, which I'm doing now. It's pretty intuitive.

The browser renders a bit slowly, but the included Memory Pak helps. I think it'll be great when I'm without my laptop. Gonna try Gmail next.

P.S. cyrion ain't kiddin'.

MAN THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT

6/14/2007 1:12:47 AM

Well, considering I'm talking about a product for a video game system, I thought Entertainment would be most appropriate. Of course, I suppose you could argue that Tech Talk would be a more appropriate venue, but really....

This should obviously be in the Feedback Forum, because you are giving feedback about how the browser works

6/14/2007 2:17:55 PM

Anyone seen the broswer for the DS fat around anywhere?

6/14/2007 4:37:40 PM

Chit Chat

Where people don't give a shit

This would be appropriate

6/14/2007 4:40:10 PM

does it require slot a and slot b cards?

6/14/2007 4:50:37 PM

You can order the browser and Memory Pak for the original DS from Nintendo's website: http://www.nintendo.com/

There's a separate Memory Pak that plugs into the Advance slot (SLOT-2), and the browser itself is stored on a typical DS card that goes into SLOT-1. The Memory Pak is required and included with the browser.

I know you can order it there, but are they only selling that version only online? Pretty crabby considering how many folks still have origional DSs.

6/14/2007 5:00:02 PM

I suppose any retailer could special-order it for you.

6/14/2007 5:01:52 PM

I'm pretty sure the GameStop on New Bern had the Pak and stuff for the normal DS.

The browser is insanely handy and better than I thought it was going to be

6/19/2007 2:09:35 PM

Yeah, it's way more convenient than lugging around a laptop. I hope more sites come up with mobile device-friendly layouts, though. Some DS-specific ones would be great. Any of you found anything?

6/20/2007 10:47:42 AM

the rumble pak for the ds is on clearance at certain eb's and shit.

i wonder if it'll work with the ds lite?

6/20/2007 11:08:39 AM

it would fit, but probably hang out over the edge of the DS lite

6/21/2007 10:50:44 AM

^Alright i'm new to the DS. If i buy one i can get wifi browser capability? And it works with the newer DS lites?

6/22/2007 3:47:07 PM

all ds's have built in wifi capability. the web browser is in stores for $30 and only works for the lite.

you can order a version direct from nintendo that works with the older style ones.

Since I made this thread, I went on to use browsers with the PSP and the Vita. I'm now posting from the far-flung future of 2015 using an iPad Air 2 on a 4G cellular connection, and I can't imagine going back to the ancient ways.

2/26/2015 10:26:31 AM

but can u collect pokemans on it tho

2/26/2015 3:17:45 PM

^^good thing you got off the no-WPA train

Now I remember when I heard the DS and Wii browsers were based on Opera, that along with CS3 using Presto made me think that was the Rendering Engine of the Future™

a few years later, good night sweet prince

To be fair, most of the value there came from the add-on Memory Pak.
