Hacking 3DS browser question, Playing video's/ flash

[Chrisssj2]

I know OFFICIALLY it cannot be done.. (fuck nintendo!)

But since im getting a SuperCardDSTwo card. Im wondering could it be done with that?

 

[RodrigoDavy]

No

 

[KazoWAR]

Nintendo really needs to make a youtube app

The DSTwo cannot interact with the 3DS's extra power and features, it can only run games in DS-mode. It cannot modify or gain access to anything that's 3DS-specific, including the extra features in the 3DS menus (such as the browser).

But the youtube app is more important.

Skype is for me.

You cant watch youtube videos using Flash or HTML5. Forget anything about flash on current portable gaming devices, it will not happen. Now about HTML5, there is a hope IF nintendo release it. I dont see how this can be done with homebrew software.

off topic x 2

skype has nothing to do with the subject

 

[Chrisssj2]

In other words. FUCKED.

damn why have a browser if one of the LARGEST site's won't work with it like youtube... also many mmo's web browsers require flash.. + I cant watch porn on it lollol haha no but seriously nintendo needs to get their head out of their ass. I cant see why company's are so goddamn retarded sometimes.

There are many reasons. Flash is poorly supported by adobe, it has many security issues, many bugs, but mostly it's consumes much of the cpu power, which means it would drain the already short 3DS battery time. Even Adobe has quitted support for flash in Android devices. The only realistic hope for the 3ds is html5, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on that happening =/

Fixed that for you. There is no such thing as Mobile Flash - it has been discontinued. Heck, development of desktop Flash pretty much halted as well. It's obsolete technology.

As for the so-called "high demand for CPU power", I've seen Mobile Flash ported to the *DS*, admittedly without sound, but working. The 3DS would have no problem running it, thing is, it's no longer "sold" by Adobe or anyone else.

What, flash 7? That's the last version that source and SDK tools were available for. When Adobe bought it they stopped that.

And flash7 is from 2003, it stopped being able to run modern things years ago. Pretty much everything flash now requires at least 9, if not 10 or 11, and those have much higher requirements.

 

[LockeCole_101629]

9 it is.
that's the xpud come in handy.
but still gives warning about "upgrade your flash"

back to subject, well while flash probably too heavy for mobile devices, I do agree for skype at least, or anything (even their own software which connected to others system)

I mean... come on. There's wifi, 2 camera back and front, but no communication feature available?

3G was launched prior for Video call I believe, and that was long long time ago.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

Skype was bought a while ago by microsoft.
So the chances of seeing skype on the 3DS is probably realy small.

Notice the console in question, which is the DS. Flash "9, 10 or 11" would still run perfectly fine on a 3DS.

*Cough Cough* Skype on Sony platforms?

The bigger problem here is that the 3DS doesn't support headsets, which is a bummer since you wouldn't be able to put the console in your pocket while chatting - you'd have to use the built-in microphone, making Skype at the very least "uncomfortable".

Iv seen 3ds headsets on my local game store.

"Headset" implies a built-in microphone, otherwise they're just headphones. The 3DS has no microphone jack, no serial port to speak of and the jack port that's there doesn't support external microphones as far as I know. Sorry, no "headsets", and if someone markets them as such, he or she should be ashamed of themselves.

The 3DS does support headsets for Heroes of Ruin. It connects through the headphone port.

Really? My headset has only one cord, and when I blow on the microphone, it works on the 3DS.

 

[Foxi4]

Interesting. I'll have to review the specs sheet again, I was convinced that the port doesn't support 4-part jacks (ones that do allow a microphone). Apparently I have to stand corrected.

In that case, there's no reason *not* to have voice chat on the system.
