Homebrew Wii Browser

[drakorex]

Emulator? What are we emulating?

 

[ipwndeveloper]

That awesome browser for Wii, I think.

@MatioMani A combination of a custom engine and but I think It also uses LightHTML, however You can change the user agent if you want to visit sites that are not compatible.

Crazy idea, and perhaps only a short term solution, but has anyone considered using Abz's masterpack as the download location? - he's constantly and consistently updating - He may be cool refreshing the links for the flowmart channel whenever he updates?
AbdallahTerro, am I right in thinking you're looking for more storage, perhaps a drive(s) with shared admin with drakorex (and others?) could be part of the solution?
Am I right in thinking that flow mart can point to any number of web locations?
If users are downloading individual updates directly, rather than the whole zip package, it may even reduce bandwidth use.
Could WiiBrowser expand a zip that big - into the right folder structure?!?!?!

drakorex - ^Thoughts? BTW I am a klutz, I've only just realised I've completely and utterly not done a flowmart sourceflow cover. Next update

EDIT: Another drive/ repository could be mastershoes' emu covers.

Nice, How do I download it?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

the huge zip is a must for first time users.
daily dropbox bandwidth is 20GB so not a lot, it happened several times that users nag that links are down or that they cannot download banners and what not.
so if someone has an alternative to DB and likes to expand the pack and share be my guest

Actually, that is what I'm using, however individual setups must be pulled from it and rehosted. The goal is to allow the user to pick and choose only what thay want and need. The great thing about using dropbox is that the files can be updated and the links remain static. I asked Abz if he wanted to be a part of this, but he declined. Perhaps when it takes off though, he may reconsider.

And please, wait until FlowMart has been released before throwing out anything related to it. Aside from the few people that follow this thread and maybe MS's cover thread, I doubt many are even aware of the project. I'm going for a big reveal. It's a secret to everyone!

The current holdup is gave92 hasn't popped in for about a month, and we were trying to sort out multidownloads. In the process, the last working dol got overwritten, so until the wizard returns, I got nothin. And also, I was the only one producing covers. But that part may change in the future.

drakorex, the thing is: university has started and I m having much less time for the wiibrowser's project.
I couldn't figure why multiple downloads work just for me, to solve I d need your help and make more tests:
we could do this while you get flowmart ready to work (covers, ecc)

 

[drakorex]

Oh, hey. gave92 if you have a copy of flowmart right after you fixed 7z, added music... I need it. Please.

Well speak of the devil... I actually have me a new recruit that has volunteered to do covers in his spare time, so things are creepin along. I do however need an old rev. The one right after you got 7z to work. If you can get me that, I might be more compelled to keep on truckin.

EDIT: Ok, that's creepy. I did not type the sentence above the quote, yet it is exactly what I need.

Sorry - I won't throw out a cover, I promise!

I suppose I'm suggesting a focus on making it easy for the people who upload content to add it to flowmart, even if it's just giving specific users rights to click a refresh button and asking them to click it whenever they update. I'm sure abz will come on board when things get rolling, flowmart is just a great idea.

How can I help out with testing?

 

[gave92]

drakorex, here's the wiiflow plugin version dol.

I thank you kindly, good sir!

How do you get Facebook, Twitter to run on this?

I don't know why you'd want to use it for this, this browser's rendering engine isn't as advanced as Wii Opera is, so you might want to just use that for FB and Twitter.

This app is good for downloading shit I find.

This isnt good for that yet...

Under the spoiler is the (very short!) source for bootopera. It looks for a "cfg.url" file and boots opera to the url contained in that file. I was wondering if it might be modified to accept arguments from wiiflow instead. perhaps loading .url files (or .WWW, perhaps ignoring everything after the contained url).
I could then set it up as a wiiflow plugin, with a coverflow of bookmarks to wii suitable web content - (facebook, flash games, etc.)

Thanks for having a look
EDIT: Thanks to Wiimpathy, I modded it and it works!

How do you bookmark pages? Also clicking coolroms, freeroms, emuparadise, or romhustler download links lead to a blank page.

 

[gave92]

Some users reported that updating to rev132 will damage the executable, causing an error on load,
has anyone experienced such a problem?
