Some users reported that updating to rev132 will damage the executable, causing an error on load,
has anyone experienced such a problem?

Updating through the app corrupts the .dol, I made a fresh rev132 install and it works fine. Had to disable autoupdate because it prompts to update to rev132, even when already I'm on rev132 =P

thx for the update gave92 good to know things are still kicking in the background, however slow it may be, I myself have had very little time these days on my hobby so I definitely know where your coming from.

necro-bump powers, activate! Very much looking forward to this piece of homebrew. One question - can you try to support miiverse.nintendo.net? Hitting up Miiverse via the Wii would be awesome.

so Gave92 seeing as it's been about 2 1/2 months since your last post any updates on the comming of the newest version? and it seems like your going the same route as chromium went with a built in flash player and a built-in pdf reader. Not trying to put down your work I love your browser but do you think porting chromium to the wii would ever be possible? I have run it under wiilinuxwhiite and it ran a divx movie from icefilms.info without a problem but I did boot Whiite with the bootmii method.

That would be nice, not sure if it's doable though: as far as I know you must register to it using a Wii U.

I guess that would be technically possible, but it's no work for me (and surely not for me alone): it's not a small task and I don't have the knowledge to do it.

neither do I just in theory I know it's possible but the wii doesn't know how to free memory when in wii mode but when you run linux if you install some task managers that have memory releasing tools you can

You do need a Wii U or a 3DS to create an account but you can browse the page without an account :)

Sadly I have to admit I haven't worked on this for a while :(, alone I really can't keep it up.
That's unfortunate, but understandable... :sleep:
I was still hoping that one day we could finally watch Flash videos in our Wiis playing on your Wii Browser with an Adobe Flash Player open source port such as Gnash or Lightspark ...^_^
