what? who bumped who? i was just pointing out that people seem to read what they want to read, and ignore the facts.

and when did i double post, and why wasnt it a good idea???

you double posted when you said your other post was harsh.
do you have no common sense.
double = two
posting = posting
double posting = posting two times in a row.

its not a good idea becuase its against the rules.

Personally, I wouldn't think heckling a newbie would be considered "a good idea" either, so I suggest we just drop the subject.

I'm hoping Gnirfleo is real here, but I won't be devastated if it turns out to be a fake.

the 100Mb file thing is what screams fake to me, why would it need a file that big? padding? that seems very dubious to me. Why waste space in such a pointless way, it supports DLDI supposedly so why not use FAT the way all other coders do?

add to that one dodgy looking photo of what looks like a finished browser and one made-in-two-minutes interface design.

There's been no talk on how it was coded, what toolsets, whether or not they use an existing rendering engine.

I call shenanigans on this. I'll fully admit I'm wrong if it turns out that way but I really woundn't get your hopes up at all.

I agree with SouLLy. This DS browser sounds too good to be true. I hope I'm wrong.

well. just wait two more days. 22nd here.

I doubt someone would do all that just for a fake though... unless, of course, they were aiming at driving other people to try and beat them to getting an internet browser on the DS (Okiwi, which was released before it could connect, and DSO now having an internet browser?).

i would say that the "padding" is so that data (bookmarks etc) can be saved to one file, might be a bit like DSQuake, the one with the shareware levels built in to the NDS file... its 20mb, and QuakeDS is only about 400k, but you need the PAK files...

i agree, i dont thinks its fake, but wasnt it supposed to be out today? (the 23rd? or was it the 24th?) either way it looks to be awesome...

sorry if anyone has asked this, but will it use the ram built into the M3?

Thanks Dan!

actually, im starting to have my doubts about how genuine this is... i hope im wrong...
