Gaming Opera DS: Will it work for us?

[HeinzHarald]

Well it's a rom just like all the others, so why wouldn't it work.

Because it comes with a RAM cart to put in the GBA slot, and because according to Opera you cannot run the browser without it. We'll have to wait and see if this can be solved for flash cart users.

i think the first flashcart company to make it compatible with their flashcart will see a large increase in sales

Would not have much us for a Japanese browser. Rather wait for the US version or try DSLinux

DSLinux browser is text only tho.

and to add more to 754boy's comment; if you check the screen captures of the "Japanese" browser, you would see that just about everything is written in english except for a few "obvious" keys on the keyboard.

Only one more day right?

If it doesn't works on flashcards, I'll have to buy that damn thing!

No need for this anymore:

>>So, where would I use this at all?

4.) Even at home, with three computers (Laptop and two desktops) and WiFi, I'll still enjoy the convience of browsing the internet while on the shitter or if my girlfriend is on the laptop, I can easily go online.

As I believe I said a while back the RAM expansion will mess with a lot of things flash cart wise, at least until someone hacks it to redirect to the RAM bank on some flash carts.
In case you are interested Amazons Japanese branch has both versions up for ? 3,230, this is around £15 which is damn cheap however you spin it:

Still I can not really say I am looking forward to this: two big screens and a nice keyboard are more favourable for internet use in my opinion.

Yeah, no watching pr0n

 

[OG LOCC NESS]

You probably won't have video playback or music playback on the web browser.

Sorry, but the PSP has the DS totally beat for porn on the go.

THen again, I guess laptops would be even better, huh?

Do any flashcarts other than the Supercard support that "GBAUnion" thing that the Supercard does, to allow it to simulate having a game in the GBA slot to unlock stuff? I wonder if that would work with a dump of the RAM expansion to allow this to work from a flashcart.. Anyone know much about how that works at the moment?

 

[tshu]

I'm sure somebody will figure out a way to get a rom of this working, even if it takes some time to do. It will probably be tricky, but anything is possible.

I think M3 can do it too. Basically works like you said. It tricks the DS into thinking you have the GBA game in the slot. I've used it a couple times to unlock the 8 hidden bosses in Rockman ZX.

Well, it's out today but not been dumped yet I think. A filtering service is being offered on the same day too

Btw... How is it you do that link feature on the M3? I can't seem to find an option for it like the Supercard does.

Always thought it will be nice to like whip the baby out like in a wifi hotspot at the shopping centre and surf gbatemp or something XD


The ability to connect to a web site quickly is attractive to me as well, instead of lugging out my laptop around.

Checking small things such as email, messages, news is a lot easier when you have a DS on to, instead of a laptop.

Buy a smartphone like a Treo, and leave the web browsing on your phone or your laptop. My DS Lite is for games, not work
