weeble182 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Huzzahs it downloading, just have to go to the shop home page, and instead of choosing games, choose 'software' and its there!
Dyson Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 It's up! Downloading now. Next post will be from my Wii :P
fanman Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Browsing on the tv is awesome. Takes a while to scroll though.
thirtynine. Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 main gripes are, TINY TEXT wtf. cant set my own homepage. i thought you would be able to use gesturres e.g hold b and make a < sign to go back i want a url bar. i want tabs. no d-pad scrolling. WTF. i want to be able to hide the bar on the bottom. it make full screen you tube small
Dyson Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 ...If I could connect I'd post from my Wii Edit: Also to the guys that are complaining about features - it's only the trial. Things will be ironed out for the full release.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm posting using the browser. It is quite strange but also quite cool.
BGS Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 eep posting from my wii now. Bit awkward to browse with really but better than nothing i guess. Wish there was some way to increase font size rather than this zooming.
Dani Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Agreed about the ironing out things, its suppose to be a trial and the documentation clearly states that there are features left out that will be included in the final release.
Daft Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Damn I'm writing this with my Wii! This rocks but its hard to read small text! I hope component cables will help this! EDIT: holy cr*p thats cool!
HazyUK Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'll download it in the morning, but I'm tempted to get out of bed now and see what it's like.
nekunando Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 This is from my Wii, just downloaded it ..it is kinda cool actually, means i can browse while me da is on the computer..
fanman Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Damn I'm writing this with my Wii! This rocks but its hard to read small text! I hope component cables will help this! EDIT: holy cr*p thats cool! Press plus to zoom in. You can also scroll by holding b and moving the pointer where you want to go.
blender Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 bear in mind that the most popular sites will probably start making optimised views for wii browser. Wonder if nintendo has a showcase site up ?? when all is said and done, its a beta after all. The megaton will follow. And dont you just wish you had HD now for a proper browsing experience.
Jhaqen Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Hitting the 2 button appears to bring up all the links on a page. Pretty cool. Actually, it just makes everything easier to read and navigate.
JerecDrak Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Does anyone else get a black bar along the top and right hand side of their screen? Kinda annoys me.
Meik Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Hello, typing this from my Wii. We're a band of vicious pirates A-sailin' out to sea. When you hear our gentle singing... You'll be sure to turn and flee! (Oh, this is just ridiculous.) Come on, men! We've got to recover that map! That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap! We're a club of tuneful rovers! We can sing in every clef! We can even hit the high notes! It's just too bad we're tone deaf! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Let's go defeat that evil pirate! We know he's sure to lose, 'cause we know just where to fire at! We're thieving balladeers. A gang of cutthroat mugs. To fight us off ye don't need guns! Just jolly good ear-plugs. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! All right, crew, let's get to work! Our vocation's a thing we love A thing we'd never shirk! We'll fight you in the harbor. We'll battle you on land. But when you meet singing pirates... They'll be more than you can stand. Oh! That was a good one! No, it wasn't. No time for song! We've got to move! The battle will be long, But our courage we will prove! We're a pack of scurvy seadogs Have we pity? Not a dram We all eat roasted garlic Then sing from the diaphragm. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Less singing, more sailing. When we defeat our wicked foe, His ship he will be bailing! If ye try ta fight us You will get a nasty whackin'! If ya disrespect our singin' We will feed ya to a kraken! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming. We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a-priming. We're troublesome corsairs! And we've come to steal your treasures! We would shoot you on the downbeat But we have to rest five measures. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Stop! Stop! Stop! The brass is what we'll polish And the deck is what we'll mop. You say you're nasty pirates... Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers? From what I've seen I tell you You're not pirates! You're just slackers! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange. And...! ...um... Well... ...err... Door hinge? No, no... Guess the song's over, then. Guess so. Hokay, back to work. Well gee. I feel a little guilty, now... Man, that took a while.
Hellfire Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm in your boards posting on my Wii. lollerskates

fanman Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Does anyone else get a black bar along the top and right hand side of their screen? Kinda annoys me. I get that too. EDIT Oh, and has anyone been on that wiicade thing that was reported here a while ago? It's great fun. wiicade.com btw
pedrocasilva Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 the browser is very nice, but what was that block mumbo jumbo when downloading? seems like wii has little user acessable memory, but if so these programs shouldn't go in there. If people want to scroll faster than just B, press A simulnaneously too. I like how it supports flash. god... I hate composite cables
thirtynine. Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Hitting the 2 button appears to bring up all the links on a page. Pretty cool. and 1 brings up the faves./
