THere is also Okiwi DS homebrew browser tho I haven't seen any updates for it in awhile and last I knew it didnt properly display images...only text.

And there is the DSlinux web browser if you want to get DSlinux up and running, which might require a ram expansion anyway I'm not sure...

Also DS Hobro is a browser but it works by using your computer to download all the files then your comp shares them with the DS.

I also looked for bunjaloo in action but to no luck. I still use the DS browser despite trying all these things. DSO would probably get my vote for the homebrew browser tho,

There are some benefits to the homebrew browsers, even though they often display pages wrong:
You can download stuff. Let's say you're at a hotel, and they offer free wifi. You connect with your DS, and download that latest 'homebrew', you wanted. Then you can play it without even being online. Or you could listen to Shoutcast via DSO, or download music, pictures, even videos if you've got ALOT of time to kill. Although, most people probably have laptops, and most people probably don't care about waiting. So my summary:
DS Web Browser for surfing.
DSOrganize for downloading.

DSOrganize is a nice palm-like application, while the Nintendo DS Browser is focusing on the internet navigation.

If you looks for something closer to a computer rendering, go for the Nintendo DS Browser. If you plan to download web files, go for DSOrganize.

I have a DS Lite, so I use the official browser. For me to use homebrew, the router has to be set to channel 10. So I wouldn't be able to use a homebrew one out of the house.

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    Specifically Ludum Dare 47

    @SylverReZ, and Sonic fights a la dragón ball z
