Hacking Opera Browser?

[DarkWay]

Off-Topic:
Okay to settle the arguement of whether it has extra RAM or not.

IT DOES.

Proof:-

The onboard RAM is the Hynix HY5S5B6HLFP-6E
Info About the RAM

More info/proof

EDIT: and even more proof after that I opened my DSTWO up to doublecheck the information is correct, if you don't believe go open your own DSTWO.

Now stop your damn off-topic yapperin already.

On-Topic:-
As for using the Opera Browser on the DS via the DSTWO it would be possible yes but first it would have to be recoded to use the DSTWO's on-board memory and as said previously to do this you'd need the SDK, as far as I know I haven't heard anyting about the Supercard team releasing it yet.
So for the moment no it's not possible without slot-2 expansion.


EDIT2: typing failure -_-

If that was directed at me
No, it was not specifically directed at you.

It's not that hard to figure out though, if you have a bit of technical knowledge and decent reasoning abilities.........2. The DSTWO has a (nearly) perfect GBA emulator.

I do have a background in the field and I can tell you for a fact you will never see accurate (perfect/nearly perfect) emulation on a DS flash linker! Perhaps compatibility but not accuracy, it just doesn't have the hardware for it. btw I noticed the last update refined the frame skipping code.

As for why they haven't told us, it's the same reason Microsoft doesn't give you the source code to Windows or, perhaps more aptly, why you cell phone manufacturer doesn't tell you every chip that's in your phone: it's proprietary.

I find it curious that they would fail to advertise a feature (detail of the IC is not required for this).


Edit: Thanks "DarkWay" for clearing that up. It appears I was wrong.

I was just thinking. If an internet browser were developed for the DSTWO, anything coming from the WiFi would have to be transferred from the DS's memory into the DSTWO's memory via the card connections. I know from card to device is slow enough, but from device to card, I would assume it would be even slower (as the most common operation when writing to a DS card has been save information). If it's slower than the WiFi, then the bottleneck for everyone.

Ah, thank you. I figured the Hynix had to be the RAM, but I wasn't 100% sure since I couldn't see what 'model' of chip it specifically was and I really didn't want to open my DSTwo up.

Hm, why would you need to go from DS RAM to DSTwo RAM? If the app knows how to access the RAM why couldn't it just download to that RAM? Not saying you're wrong, just wondering your reasoning.

*edit*
Actually, I suppose we wouldn't know until they release an SDK. Which hopefully they will.

As far as I can tell, data received from the WiFi can't be sent directly to the DS card I/O port, which is why I brought up RAM to RAM transfer. But, even if data could be sent directly, my main point I was trying to bring up was that the bottleneck of data being transfer could be set at the card I/O port instead of the WiFi port (or internet connection). With that, if write speeds through the card port are really slow (as I had said before that it's main use was for save data), then web pages, file downloads, etc. may take a long time to finish.

Anyone here have an idea of card write speeds with the DS?

Ah, I see. I wasn't aware of that.
