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.

    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
