    In his latest "Iwata Asks" column at nintendodsi.com, the Nintendo President hosts a Q&A session with the team that worked on the DSi's internet browser.

    It was a priority for the team to get the DSi browser to run quickly and smoothly. The team came up with the slogan, "Make it snappy!" An almost simultaneous response time of 1/60 of a second was the goal. Some "fun" and "convenient" ideas were dropped in order to ensure a snappy browser. If a webpage is loading slowly, the DSi will still show the user something moving so that they aren't left hanging, wondering if the page will ever show up. The effect is similar to what you find on the Wii internet channel.

    Satoshi Furukawa, the team member in charge of creating the DSi browser, said it has more of the "Nintendo touch" than the original DS browser did. When asked to describe his definition of this touch, he said "it's the aggregate of characteristics that aren't quite visible to the eye, such as how satisfying the unit's response is when you press a button and the speed when you scroll." Furukawa likes the idea of children experiencing the internet for the first time on their DSi.

    Webpages are displayed in one of two ways on the DSi, as they were on the DS. The page can be displayed either as it would on a personal computer, or the words can be wrapped to fit neatly on the DSi screen. Users can switch between these two modes on the fly.

    The DS would display an entire webpage on the top screen and an enlarged image on the bottom. You could flip the two, but the images would simply switch positions. Now on the DSi, the transition is animated so that the screens shrink and enlarge. Another new feature is the ability to highlight words on a page with the stylus and perform a search for them.

    The team is happy with its results, believing the DSi browser to be easier and faster to use than other handheld devices on the market.

    Albinofrenchy has posted a new version of the release for the DS:

    A new release! This one is mostly a bug fix and a clean up of all the old functionality. This includes:

    Made the zoom functionality more intuitive based on feedback I got from alot of you. Now you draw a box around what you want to see on the DS. It will use the current orientation and come up with a zoom that fits that box to the DS screen. Try it out, if you don't get it or plain don't like it, leave me some feedback.
    Made the screen dim whenever you go to open a new file or you open the mini document view.
    Changed the old god-awful icon to the new god-awful icon for the mini document view. Its now a magnifying glass.
    Made the current location on the page reset when you go forward or backward a page.
    The page number now appears in the little bar on the bottom/left.
    Thats all the big stuff, and covers alot of ground in terms of the feedback I've been getting.


    The controls are largely unchanged, but I'll post them here for completeness sake:
    'X' changes the orientation of the page. Starts off in 'book' style orientation.
    Right and Left shoulder go to the next or previous page.
    Start brings up the dialog to open a new file.
    Select toggles whether or not to show debug messages. Most users won't want this.
    'B' resets the zoom to the default value of 100%.
    One of the peices of feedback I've gotten has to do with this control layout. I want to get a good feel for what people think would be the best way to go on this before I just start changing stuff. What do you think the controls should be? What other controls would you want to see added?


    The next major feature, and major release, is going to involve a reader mode. As it is, this pdf reader is great for viewing and looking at PDF's, and perhaps even grabbing some key facts from it, but noone is going to read a 100 page e-book in it. You'd get arthritis from so much scrolling and the rendering is so slow as to make it really annoying.


    Instead, the plan is to allow you to be able to choose a viewing mode where you can display the textual blocks of a PDF document on its own screen. You'll lose the formatting from the PDF document, but then you'll be able to fit the text in the DS nicely. And if you want to see the formating, just pop back into the normal viewing mode and you'll have the experience that exists now!


    Would this be something you'd want? Leave a comment if you have ideas on how to make this feature work like you'd want or if you just think its a good idea.

    GRRLIB for GX Rgb Renderer Library, some very very nice function for noob coder.

    Versions of the library before 3.0 are no longer supported due to the lack of real full GX support.

    press release from elspa

    Thousands of illegal game copying devices seized

    Friday 6th March/... A raid at a detached house in Surrey has resulted in the largest seizure of its kind in the UK in the fight against illegal game copying devices. A web-based business was alleged to be importing and selling Nintendo DS™ copying devices worldwide via the internet. Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) knew something was wrong when large consignments of the illegal game copying devices started showing up at airports across the UK. These were seized and HMRC alerted IP investigators from ELSPA (the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association).

    ELSPA’s anti-piracy team worked with Surrey Trading Standards culminating in the Surrey raid where they discovered thousands of game copying devices which allegedly infringe both the Trade Marks Act 1994 and Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988. The items have been seized and sent for forensic examination by ELSPA.

    At the house investigators discovered a fully operational ‘production line’ along with a fully detailed trading history for the business. Records found at the property revealed evidence of trading worth £hundreds of thousands. A simultaneous raid at a second business premises was carried out by the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames Trading Standards, but the premises were found to be empty.

    Financial investigations have now begun with a view to restraining any assets connected with criminal conduct.

    Michael Rawlinson, Director General of ELSPA, said: “This case demonstrates the enormous financial risk faced by those who import and sell illegal copying devices. ELSPA would like to thank HMRC, the thorough and professional investigation by Surrey Trading Standards department and ELSPA investigators. Together they continue to prove that increasingly pirates are paying very high prices for pursuing illegal business activities that rob our industry of their innovative IP.”

    Peter Denard, Head of Surrey Trading Standards, added: “We are committed to working with ELSPA and rights owners on criminal activity of this kind. We will respond to requests where there is evidence of intellectual property theft in Surrey, which causes huge detriment to legitimate businesses. This type of crime will not be tolerated in Surrey and criminals can expect to be pursued to the full extent of the law and risk losing both their liberty and ill-gotten gains.”

    The maximum penalty upon conviction for offences under the Trade Marks Act is an unlimited fine and/or up to 10 years imprisonment.

    Ends.
