christophicus Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 With the ds when surfing the web will you be able to login to forums and post in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 It isn't known yet, but we would imagine as it has been said "opera will be able to surf the entire web" or soemthing along those lines. There is already a thread for Opera DS, and this belongs in the Handheld board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I don't see why not. Unless it doesn't store cookies, which I'm sure it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have Opera Mini on my mobile phone, and I can do everything. Obviously the forums are a bit squished but it works very well. Opera can also run from a USB memory stick, so there's no reason for it not to be fully functional on a DS cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Boo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 it should be pretty swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophicus Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 it should be pretty swift I out this here because,its the technicle capabilities that im wondering about.As far as i can tell there would be no way for the ds to store cookies permanintly,which means you you would have to log in every time you visit,and at that im not sure if it would be possible.Doesnt the ds only have 4 mb of temporary storage?

Mr_Odwin Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Surely they can implement some sort of save system on cartridge memory, like they used to do with gamesaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some permanent storage also, but it's used mainly for your wifi settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 A quick question, would the access to the internet being limited by the wi-fi spot, for example is it possible for the wi-fi spot to block certain things (eg. sites with swear words on?). So if someone set up a wi-fi adapter on there pc, would the internet be controlled trhoguh the pc. Would the ds hold faverites, history etc, or would the pc/wi-fi spot.

I'm pretty sure your favourites would be stored on the cartridge. I don't think Wi-Fi hotspots hold any data like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The owner of the hotspot could have put a filter onto the router, but it's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophicus Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 SO the ds is actually capabill of writing to the cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 SO the ds is actually capabill of writing to the cart? Yeah, that's how game-saves are saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophicus Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I thought that they once a game got to a certain point,it triggered a preset funtion in the cart that let the person continue for where the trigger occured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 There's usually a few kilobytes (sometimes megabytes) of memory that is writable. It's used for saves. Opera will probably use as much writable memory as possible in the cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophicus Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Well, that's clearly mad. I do appoligies my liege. As for DCK's post thats good to know,i would imagine that there should be more then average space left with the browser,because it shouldnt be too,demanding on space.

Nintendork Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Opera ships in 2 packages, 1 for classic DS 1 for the DS lite (presumably in all 3 colours) It will make it for a worldwide launch while the TV tuner is destined for Japan owners only (mainly because their TV networks are broadcasting for small devices already and we're not) Opera will be a full functional browser, it will support java script, but not java or flash.. so it's gonna be a pretty good browser basically. It should be fully featured, I'm hoping for an RSS reader. Basically you access the Opera browser from the DS cart in the main menu, and the browser cache will be stored on a GBA flash card which is being supplied with the system. Hence the need for 2 packages, 1 for DS lite so the cart is flush with the systems edges. Presumably it will store favourites permanently and settings for websites.. but if it doesn't you can always use a service like del.icio.us. Aparently GMail relies heavily on javascript but it should theoretically work.. here's to hoping. Rendering speeds can be difficuilt to tell, the wifi network capacity is pretty big, the rendering speed of the processor (images, etc) will be the limiting factor when viewing a website I expect. Here's to a whole lot of hoping.. Opera have a lot of experience and the video I've seen and the 'full screen' scrolling rendering using the touch pad looks like a great idea. I have faith they'll pull out something that rivals any mobile phone, PDA and the flash and java loss is worth it by not carrying a laptop around. I'm also hoping the flash card can be used for downloading files, including patches to the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
