Hardware 3DS browser capabilities

[Deleted User]

Hmm. This is not good. Hopefully it will be updated. They're using a really slow NetFront browser usually used on phones.

What settings are there? Can you disable things like javascript, and perhaps stylesheets? If flash is always active it may be flash ads slowing shit down. Flash ads Just Plain Suck™.

I've noticed an interesting feature: I've uploaded a photo to a website, and when viewed from a PC, this photo is a simple JPG, but when viewed in 3DS's browser, photo is 3D.3DS uses the MPO (or is it MP0?) format for images, which is an already-existing format which is simply two JPEG images together, so depending on the viewing device (I assume the 3DS has a user-agent identifier, can anybody grab it for me?) a different file is forwarded... unless you mean an image host with no MPO support, in which case it's either the browser falling back to JPG display (like non-APNG viewers reading the first PNG chunk) or the 3DS redirecting to the local file of the same name, but I'm thinking the first is much more likely.

Now that I see the link, since it's got the filename as JPG I'm not sure which it is, unless MPO has some identifier modern browsers pick up on. I don't have a hex editor handy right now to check.

QUOTE(Tanveer @ Jun 7 2011, 11:20 AM) i am on the 3ds now. this page sort of looks blurry. loading time is pretty bad. and dont think it has flash.

That's what happens when your not using the whole ram. It's probably using like 16MB of ram OUT OF 128MB.

Honestly that doesn't make sense. It just sounds like it's doing a fast form of resizing (which would be CPU-bound, not RAM-bound).

The browser doesn't have Adobe Flash.

Also google translate doesn't work. I can't change the original language from english. Bad js support?

Well, if you have an image on the SD card, you can upload it using any Upload button. Even ones on this site!

I just hope they dont do the ridiculous "Pay To use flash/Java" thing.
Other than that the browser is good if we dont consider the lack of plugins
Who else thinks that this browser uses the same engine as in the Ipad?

They aren't going to do that, you don't need to hope, it's just plain stupid.

The browser isn't actually that bad. Not good enough to browse all those flash-heavy sites but still I like to stop in game and have a look at some unlockable guides. One other thing though, is anyone else disappointed that Nintendo didn't announce some form of Youtube application at E3? I was.

They are too busy with Wii U

Just a quick tip, although it's something well known from Internet phone users, but adding "m." in front of the urls sometimes loads the light versions of websites, which are much quicker.

For instance, for quickly checking a game's walkthrough while playing: http://m.gamefaqs.com/

Works with facebook, and some other sites too.

For those with low IQs: this is merely convention; it doesn't guarantee that a site even has a "mobile" version, which is what he's talking about (tip: search for "[site] mobile" on Google to find out for any particular site).

Also, you'll never see Java on the 3DS. Flash maybe, but doubtful. Nintendo would rather you watch videos on their own servers.
