well, i heard something about someone ripping some files off a demo disk, though dont remember the details...

Yes there is it's called "Tenchi no Mon Browser" it is ripped from a Japanese demo disk (Famitsu Magazine) and it is reported to be a LOT better than the Wipeout browser.

I have it and although I have never used the wipeout browser I can tell you this one rocks.

Good points -

+ Fast load times
+ Editable HTML web page portal to place all the links you want.
+ Software keyboard (need to press SELECT twice to get to english characters)
+ Option to jump back to main "web portal" page with your links on
+ Works with most web sites.
+ Works perfect for my Web Comic

Bad points -

- Although easy to figure out, the menus are in Japanese
- Other than your editable web portal page there are no bookmarks
- No back button
- Doesn't support Flash
- Large web pages wont let you scroll down untill page is loaded
- Some websites lock up and you need to exit
- Appears to refuse to load large images after it has loaded a few (mainly in web comics, I noticed this)
- Can't login in to Gmail or web forums (as far as I can tell anyway).

It's not bad at all and far easier to set up than the Wipeout one, in fact if you already have your WiFi network setup then after you put it on your memory card there is nothing else to do but edit the web portal page (index.html) to include any links you want (it has google only as default).

It's a shame it's probaby technically illegal to share it even though it's from a free demo disk because we could post it on the site and everyone could use it.

This doesn't seem any different to the wipeout one. If not worse, with wipe out you only had to change the primary dns which is bassically all you do there. Wipeout also supports flash.

woot, but its pretty easy to get working, yeah!! it works

flash works on wipeout? can u confirm that?
oh, and does email work on wipeout? like yahoo, etc, cause i have trouble logging into anything with tenchi, oh well, this is awsome!

I don't think Flash works on Wipeout and I hear from a lot of people that have both that this browser is a LOT faster. Go to this site to read a lot of comments on comparing the two -
