Homebrew browser for DS









Quirky has released his new homebrew web browser for the DS. It is currently text-only.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the IRC channels.... another web browser with a silly title is announced! Except this time it is by someone who has a history of actually releasing things. What's more, here is the first release.


I started this a couple of days before DragonMinded announced his 2.7 alpha series with web browser included. I thought it would be impossibly difficult and so far I've been right. There is a lot of tag soup out there.


It is currently buggy and incomplete. It really does the minimum to allow you to search stuff on Google and that's about it. However, it is proper Free Software (GPL), compiles using all the latest stuff (devkitArm r20, dswifi 0.3d, etc) and there is an issue tracker for you to add your feature wishes/bug reports to.



Please keep in mind:




  * It uses wi-fi auto connect. So routers only and configured from an official game, I'm afraid.

  * It has the font compiled in - originally it read them from the card but...

  * ... my EZF 5 has stopped working, so DLDI is now more or less un-testable by me.

  * The keyboard is crap

  * It has no history feature (yet)

  * There is no cache (this is good since it means no corruption and bad since it goes slower)

  * No, it doesn't support Flash, javascript, images, style sheets (or most HTML in fact).

  * There is a lot of room for optimisation - "make it right, then make it fast"

  * I can only test on the phat DS, so it might not work at all on the lite.





That is all for now, hope you like it. Or at least, hope it isn't too offensive to your senses.

I got the DS Opera browser so I don't really need homebrew browsers anymore but great to see that they are still coming.

It works pretty nice actually! Don't say the keyboard is crap, it's fast (unlike Opera DS) and it's got nice big keys. Sometimes it will fail to load a page for reasons i don't know, but apparently this is a work-in-progress so I won't complain too much

Anyone got it working on ez4 compact? If so, how? I renamed to .ds.gba.bin and .ds.bin but get only the start GBA screen then nothing happens.

Does this homebrew need a RAM pack? I just want a graphical browser which doesnt need the RAM pack, but coding it would be a major feat! It's not 100% certain that it's impossible right?

works nice on scsd with magic homebrew tool =)
it's pretty nice, font looks more readable than on dsorganize imo and it has forms! however, not for password forms yet... but i surfed wikipedia with it and it was quite enjoyable. The keyboard's pretty nice, too. Big letters and all that.
