The only way to get the offical browser to work would be with the ram pack or a slot 1 card like a supercard i think.

Cheapest way is to use homebrew or buy an EZ Flash 3-in-1 to be use as a RAM expansion so the Opera Browser can be used.

 

[Rayder]

Long story short, you need a slot1 AND a slot2 card for the Opera browser to work.

ok then any good suggestions on homebrews?

The browser sucks to be honest but it does the job, just! Get a EZ 3in1 and your away, then you also get a rumblepak and GBA games.

Yeah, the 3 in 1 is the one of the best and cheapest methods.

You can add Bunjaloo to that list too, http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=61966

DS Hobro is my favorite. The only thing is that your computer has to be turned on with the software running.

DSOrganise is text-only, I couldn't get okiwi to work at all, and watching a page load in DS Hobro is like watching paint dry. The Opera browser is slow, but it's heaven after using DS Hobro.

I paid AUD$20 for my 3-in-1, well worth it. The Supercard Lite has some RAM that works with Opera as well, but it seems slower, and the 3-in-1 has better GBA compatibility (and no need to hit a key combination to save the game), so I've found myself using it more often.

One thing to watch if you use the 3-in-1 with the browser: the 3-in-1 can also be used to back up save games from retail DS carts, but if you do this, the RAM won't work with Opera until you re-flash the NOR on the 3-in-1 with a GBA game. I found that out the hard way.

I always found DSHobro to be faster than the Opera browser.

Just in case anyone needs to know:

How to run the Internet browser with a slot-1 device (not the EZ Flash V*) and the 3-in-1.

1) Patch the Browser with this
2) stick it on the Micro SD Card and pop that in your slot-1 device.
3) Boot up your slot-1 device and start up the Loader your using
4) Switch to the Expansion Pack option on your loader
5) That takes you back to the slot-1 device menu, select the .nds for the browser.



*= If you have a EZ Flash V, it says in the Wiki you don't need to patch the browser.
