2 years ago Well the DSi Browser is based on Opera 8.5, and while the lowest tested Opera version is 10.63, if it runs on Firefox 2 and IE4 it probably has a decent chance of at least running on the DSi without too many more modifications.
I'll go ahead and grab Opera 8.5 and maybe I can get an actual error. I'm sorry that this is kind of a useless message, and I don't have a good excuse for double posting.

2 years ago On Opera 8.5 on a 3GHz Windows 98 Machine, with 512MB ram - much more then the DSi - I get the exact same result. Howerver, I don't get any output in the Javascript console. In fact, the page works just fine...at less then 1 frame per second. After dragging the quality down to 10, I get what feels like 1 frame every 4 seconds, and dragging the window down from 1024x768 to around 358x259 (the minimum size at which Browservice will work), it's now usable. Keep in mind, this is on a machine almost 24 times as fast (and at that point the difference between ARM and x86 does not matter), with 32 times as much memory.
The conclusion therefore, is that it works just fine, but you need to somehow get the resolution and quality lower. From my vague recollection of using this browser as a kid, it always rendered pages larger then the actual screen, and sense this browser was developed independently of most websites at the time, the fix may involve being able to set the desired resolution and quality of the image via the url.

2 years ago Note that you can set the default quality to a lower value using the --vice-opt-default-quality command line option, for example
./browservice-v0.9.4.0-x86_64.AppImage --vice-opt-default-quality=20
I know this is kinda out of the scope of this project, but if anyone else wants to try, you should know
Browservice doesn't really work on the Nintendo DSi Video of it not really working
Log for anyone who cares:
