Well just released an other nightly build, hoping to fix some of the issues above.
@drakorex: are you sure you uploaded the right picture for the first bug?
They both have the same stack dump but should not have anything to do
If the problems are not solved please let me know (i'd need the new code dumps)

EDIT: about the downloads from coolrom.com: they don't work because the site
makes use of much javascript to handle them, and i'm not sure on how to implement it.
(i could however write some specific rules for coolrom.com)

Just released revision 93:
this **should** fix all the reported issues
@drakorex: downloads from coolrom.com now work

I cannot find way to log in twitter in r87 lol. Maybe is there but i do not see how. I will try this r93 and see if success.

 

[Magnus87]

is it possible to port Chromium to Wii??

 

[matthi321]

r93 doesnt work.when you boot the app,it just return to the homebrew channel.

Highly unlikely! The Wii is lacking in RAM by a LOT. Your best bet is this browser in Android user agent mode and running Google services such as Drive, Google+, and Music this way. Granted, those services wont be as usable until the rendering engine is done so just hold tight. Things should get awesome soon!

 

[TheRedfox]

But maybe we could get the webkit engine running on the wii!

Damn photo bucket... I was in a hurry. Um most bugs still appear to be present.Bookmark,setting,dump. Can't browse lower folders, etc. So javascript works for the one site, or everything? How 'bout them captcha codes? Went to EP trying to dl something and the images wouldn't show. Killer job so far, man. Great work!

 

[LightyKD]

Hey Gave, think we could get a status bar for downloads, uploads and updates? It's kinda awkward updating the browser without something showing that it"s updating

 

[gave92]

@LightyKd I assume you did not try to click on the download button on the app bar in the main page
(a download manager with progress will appear)

@drakorex: try to update to rev94 from nightly builds, hope this time it's all fixed
about javascript: no I only got coolrom.com to work, i'll see what to do for captcha codes

 

[gave92]

Ok maybe this time i did it right:
here is a new version to fix the random exiting that some user are experiencing.
Before releasing I'd like to have feedbacks from some of you (to be sure it works on 'real' wiis too)
Could someone test and let me know?
Thanks

I get black screen from this, sorry.
BTW this is a 597kb file, are you sure it is the right one? Previous r93 was close to 8MB in size.

 

[gave92]

Uploaded the wrong file, sorry.
I'll fix this in the afternoon,
Thanks for giving it a try

BTW this is a 597kb file, are you sure it is the right one?

EDIT: Now it's fixed

 

[drakorex]

I'm getting random freezies. Is there a tut/vid on how to do everything right? Maybe there's something I'm not getting. How about in-program instruction manual? Also as for the file browser, I downloaded the fix posted earlier, got an update prompt now and updated again. Before, 2 switched from selecting on screen buttons to browsing folders, now it doesn't.

 

[Kippykip]

I was aware.... but it's not very good!

 

[drakorex]

I updated again, still getting random freezes. No dumps, just the ceasing of any pointer action or function of any kind. The music still plays though:/

Here's a weird little nugget, I tried downloading a game in the past and couldn't seem to find it. Today I found a zip folder named downloads, which is the folder path I have set for my downloads.

 

[drakorex]

no updates in over a week. I'm concerned.

 

[gave92]

Please be patient, and don't worry:
the project is not dead!
I just don't have much spare time this days
