Gaming NDS Browser on youtube

[dan_was_here9901]

Does anyone know if nintendo release an update that makes the dsi be able to play flash games and go on youtube with the opera browser?

nope, im afraid not, theres nothing! i believe a homebrew browser can play flash, but im not certain on that.

it's pointless.
the PSP with double the RAM* and at least triple the CPU power can barely handle an outdated version of flash.
youtube would certainly be impossible, because their video encoding is heavier than DPG and you'd also spend a whole day loading a 5 minute video.




*only counting the original 32MB RAM because the rest can't be used by the browser

I don't think there is one

Not one that I have heard of.
I mean most of them use very little power and ram and if the official one can't do it, then there is no homebrew one that can even come close to doing it

also the video will be very slow (I saw a animated picture that was slower on the DSi web browser than at my PC

Actually to nitpick, there's a modification you can get for the browser (called netfront 4) that makes it use all the RAM it can. It turns out it's artificially limited even on fats. Gives a great increase on 2000/3000, and a mild increase on the 1000.

Still haven't tried it with flash, though. The processing power of the PSP's not nearly as good as PCs so I don't have much hope.



But yeah, flash on the DS is pretty much a no-go.

You'll have to wait for the 3ds, youtube in 3d anyone?

Man, I think I love you.

I thank you sincerely.

Fo'rizzle, I was so happy when I found out about it.

I'm probably not going to get that much use out of it as I own a PSP-1000, but because you said it still does make a difference, I'm definitely going to use the capabilities of it to the maximum!

A friend of mine has a PSP-2000, so I'll tell him about it, too
