Gaming Do you expect 3DS internet browser to be good ?

[Rydian]

Chromium is using 64MB of ram in my pc right now.
I have 10 tabs open.

Press Shift+Escape and see how much is actually being used?

I doubt it can even run this site well.
I could dream for Hulu and Youtube compatibility, but I ain't stupid.

Yeah, 3DS has more memory than PSP. But remember that internet browser will have to run even in the "game suspended" mode, so most probably it will only use a tiny part of memory dedicated to 3DS' Home Menu. According to leaked screenshots from 3DS development unit, games use 96 MB out of 128 MB, which leaves 32 MB for Home Menu... PSP, starting from version 2000, has twice as much.

Also, I understand the latest NetFront has lots of great features. But great features tend to raise the requirements and 3DS might not be powerful enough to fulfill them. E.g. check the trailer for Tales of the Abyss 3D - no shadows, no antialiasing, low polygon counts - nothing that PSP couldn't do. And it's an upcoming game!

And by "Nintendo's attitude" I meant that they never cared about the added value or multimedia functionality. E.g. allowing only AAC playback on DSi was a total shame, even if this allowed them to cut their costs a bit. 3DS does not record video (users were looking forward to this feature a lot) while even cheap 50 USD mobile phones do that. Another example of their attitude - they kept the awful, noisy cameras from DSi...

mabe have it so while in a game, u get no html 5 or youtube support, and when ur not on any app, u get the full support?

Did the dsi did? I can't remember.

Guys, GPU power isn't going to determine how good it is at browsing the web.

If JavaScript is supported, we could have online messaging...
e.g. some XMPP/Jabber web client.Javascript itself yes, but AFAIK all the web clients have moved off of pure javascript and server-side scripts to an amalgamation of shit.

we know m.ebuddy.com will work for sure (worked on the ds lite)

I'm pretty sure that if the 3DS can handle Netflix than it could handle a browser with html5 or Flash compability.

Specialised apps are better at doing 1 thing than apps what don't specialise on one thing.
I wouldn't expect html5, it's harder than just going "yep, there's the tag, go ahead and use it".
Flash is more likely.

Whatever happens, so long as it can do something dynamic you can be reasonably sure there will be a 3ds.youtube.com just like the TV version they made.

Heres how GBATEMP looks on the DSi Browser. The speed my be slow, because my internet its 6MBPS, but currently (for some reason) going at around .3-.6 mbps (ill find out why later with at&t):

How much page file/ virtual ram is being used?

The DSi does a decent job, It would be odd to see 3DS browser struggling to load up gbatemp if the DSi can do it.

My concern is that he may only be looking at the readings for one tab, since Chrome splits it's tabs into separate processes.

will we have flash player on 3ds browser? would look awesome

 

[chris888222]

Maybe the internet browser for 3DS:

Will have flash-enabled without any other programs running.

Will give you a choice whether to run on flash or no flash while on multitask, if flash then game/app must be closed completely.

Seeing that it's NetFront, it might be possible. But the truth? Only time will tell.
