You will also need to download the resources.zip file, and extract the contents to /share/netsurf/

where to put it?

where to put it?

I answered this question earlier in this same thread:

You have to create a folder called `share` in the root of your SD card. Then create a folder called `netsurf` in the `share` folder. Extract all of the files from the resources.zip file into the `netsurf` folder, such that files like `netsurf.png` and `welcome.html` are directly within the netsurf folder.

I answered this question earlier in this same thread:

yeah but i put the correct folder into the sd card and 3dsx file does not search /share/netsurf/Resources

 

[Kwyjor]

and 3dsx file does not search /share/netsuft/Resources

That is not the correct folder.

 

[YjeeYea]

That is not the correct folder.

that what coderman said i dont understand bruh

 

[Kwyjor]

that what coderman said i dont understand bruh

Yes, he said netsurf and not netsuft. You edited your post.

Also, if you have an extra folder named Resources in your netsurf folder, then that is not what he said.

such that files like `netsurf.png` and `welcome.html` are directly within the netsurf folder.

You're supposed to put everything in the netsurf folder directly. There is no Resources folder. If you extract and there is a resources folder, move everything from there to be directly in netsurf, and delete the resources folder.

are you still working on netsurf? and i want to thank you so much for making it

 

[NandoLawson]

Does anyone know if this could theoretically replace the browser applet? It would be so cool if you could casually replace the stock one with it.

[Kwyjor]

That was also already explained earlier in the thread, "bruh".

 

[YjeeYea]

That was also already explained earlier in the thread,

I haven't touched this project in a while. I might get back to it eventually, but life has been busy.

I'm not aware of any way you could do that. It would also be interesting, because then it has to share 64MiB of memory with the OS, and not have a whole 64MiB to itself, like apps and games do. 64 MiB is already considered minimum spec for running NetSurf's desktop version, afaik.

Also try duckduckgo's HTML-only lite mode: https://html.duckduckgo.com/html

It's a big, complicated page with lots of code. It probably loads as slowly as just about any other site of similar complexity.

What about the New 3DS? Afaik it also has more memory for the system. Not sure how much tbh.

True, but I still don't know if its possible to replace a system applet with a homebrew one.

Sadly, I'm having trouble opening the browser. I know this post is over a year old, but I just found it and tried to download it. Download went good, I was able to make the share and NetSurf folders, as well as extract the resources. It's on the SD for my 3DS but nothing comes up. There's no icon for the browser, but I can see that the 3DS registers that it's downloaded in FBI. What might cause the application to just not show up?

Hello! The application is a 3dsx, not a CIA, so FBI won't help you here. Try placing the .3dsx file in the sdmc:/3ds/ folder, and then launching it through the homebrew launcher.
