Okiwi alpha demo released - Free DS web browser

Good job, nice interface, potential to be an awesome browser.

Things a good DS browser needs
- Flash, Java(script), Video, RSS, and Audio Support
- Since people that download this have a "modded" DS (and memory), it would be awesome to have a file explorer to upload things (avatars, sigs)
- An option to cancel picture loading (speeds the website loading, load off the DS' memory)
- Being able to download things to the DS
- Favourites, History, etc...

If all or many of that applies in a later build, this could be the best thing in DS Homebrew history since Moonshell.

Flash, Java, and Video may all be more than the DS can handle. You're talking about a device with a 66 MHz processor, another 33 MHz processor, and 4 MB of RAM. That's not all that much to work with.

i tried the alpha version but it doesnt work on my ds...im using supercard lite rumble and i tried both patched (DLDI) and nonpatched versions of okiwi yet i still get a white screen the whole time. Im pretty sure i patched it correctly...if anyone's okiwi works and uses supercard lite rumble, plz send me the file you used?

Supercard Rumbles are known to have problems booting homebrew built in the latest r20 release of DevKitARM.

black screen. i`m using supercard CF. this is wat i`vr got

Loads up fine on my R4 Revolution (most homebrew does). Had to patch it with the DLDItool32 first obviously.

At first I had the red screen on top, like someone else had. But that's because I had the directories in the wrong place. Just put the whole Okiwi folder on top level of the card, and then load up the DS. Browse in to the Okiwi folder and run the Okiwi.nds file.

Obviously a bit too early to comment much on the application itself, but hopefully this turns out to be a good browser.
