Anyone heard anything about the NDS browser?

I thought it was coming out this month in Japan, but I'm not sure if it's been delayed or not. The only news about it I can find by searching the net is old stuff from the original announcement back in February and a few stories from a couple months ago.

I'm dying to find out if it will work with the Supercard! But even if it doesn't I'm still getting it.

I've been waiting for it too. Haven't heard anything since the announcement that said it was coming out in June.

i highly doubt it will work with supercard

it needs to use the gba slot to store a card with 32mb for cache/bookmarks or something...plus it might give it some necessary stuff, not sure exactly what...but i know it uses the gba slot and NDS slot

maybe the supercard will be able to emulate that with its 32 mb of ram on it (with patching of course)

Yea I dont see why it wouldent work except you must run the nds file off it. It seems like you could run the browser off the memory card and then use the supercard ram for the ram the browser needs unless the ram is used to run the game when it runs off the card.

I don't doubt that there will be a way to make the browser output to a seperate file on the SD card for any internal memory the actual cart will have. Patches patches.

I was thinking you could patch the rom so that it'll use the CF card as the cache and for updates. Well maybe we'll have to wait and see.

We might get lucky ... If Opera already r/w from a GBA cart, it may be nothing more than intercepting those calls and rerouting them.

i believe the extra gba RAM cartridge is purely optional

satanduck · June 08, 2006, 10:27:08 AM

I too am waiting for this. I am ready to pay for it too. Why?

Because i believe there is a possibility that with the browser more HotSpots will be accessible, you know, those that needs WEB authentication before anything, even when they don't really require a login and password.

Then the WiFi games will have more spots to play! Hooray!

yeah, im gonna pay for it when it comes out in America

but I will download the rom that comes out in Japan... I think you can change the interface language (i hope, can someone confirm this?)

I plan on doing the same thing, especially if its only $19.99 as rumored to be. But I wanna try it out in the meantime. Gonna be cool sending emails and posting on this board from my DS lol
