The Web Browser for the DS Lite?
I've heard it's not up to much but wouldn't mind giving it a go. Have googled it to no avil.

Anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks

You can't download it legally (the DS Lite has no storage space).
If you have a DSi, you can download the browser for free via the shop interface.

Yeah, you can't download it because it comes with the DS card and a memory expansion pack which slots into the GBA slot.

Ok, thanks. Anyone know where I can buy it cheaply or is it really not worth the effort??

Atavan-Halen · 12-05-2009 10:29pm

You'll probably pick one up off ebay cheap enough. If you really want it then get it, it's not going to be much hassle getting one, but apparantly it's not that great. Handy for sending emergency emails and stuff though.

If you have a flash cart try out DSorgainze it has a decent built in browser

thanks witness. its a nice litle browser, although you do have to use a lot of the mobile sites for memory reasons. im using it atm

Sorry witness, I'm no technical genius, on that page, do I download R4 and M3 Simply* and stick it on my R4?

Atavan-Halen · 13-05-2009 7:47am

no, just download Dsorganise, unzip the files to your r4 card, then go into the games menuof your r4 and it should come up there

Sinderella · 13-05-2009 12:47pm

Great, thank you, I'll try that later!

Sinderella · 14-05-2009 2:24pm

Tried dsorganize, not great is it?

It opens a few pages then crashes.
Found another one when i googled dsorganise, called dshobro, can't seem to feckin install it though! :rolleyes:

MrE, just as a matter of interest why would it be illegal to download a web browser?

Mr E · 14-05-2009 2:35pm

The DS Browser (as released by Nintendo) costs €39.99 (I'm sure you can get it cheaper if you look around). If you put it on your flash card, its theft.

Anyway, it wont work as is - when you buy it, you get an expansion pack that goes in Slot 2 (on the front of your DS). It won't work without that.

Sinderella · 14-05-2009 2:44pm

Ah, the nintendo one, gotcha! Yeah, must look around, I would buy it if i got a good bargain, though €40's not bad if I was sure of the quality factor iykwim?

Of course a good freeware one like the ones mentioned would be a bonus

witnessmenow · 14-05-2009 6:41pm

some of the freeware ones benefit from the RAM expansion with the Official opera browser. But obviously that doesn't make much sense seeing as you would already have the official one!

Among other things this provides the ram expansion used by the browsers

Sinderella · 15-05-2009 12:35am

Maybe that's the problem with DSOrganize, not enough RAM? I dunno. Pity it keeps crashing cause it would be handy. I think I would use it.

DSHoBro is terrible btw... You have to keep your pc switched on to use it, kinda defeats the purpose!

Will keep an eye out for the Nintendo / Opera one going cheap

Thanks everyone
