  1. Does this mean someone can create a graphic-based homebrew web-browser?

     

    That'd be da bomb! <_<

    Dont count your chickens before you even have eggs...

     

     

    There are no HTML parsers yet, for the DS anyways(besides DSLinux), so that means that a browser should come soon, but how soon is soon? I'd say a few more months...

     

    Edit: Well, I'll be damned, I forgot DSOrganize can read HTML and parse it (Text only, no images yet), and thats what it uses for the help files, so a DSBrowser COULD come sooner than I thought...

     

    Then again, there's always Opera DS...

     

    but opera will take longer, and i think i remember someone saying the HTML thing would be fairly easy...

     

    heres what I read at GBAdev forums (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9348&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

    A web browser is an HTTP client plus a CSS layout engine plus an HTML parser plus an HTML default stylesheet.

     

    So before we make a web browser, we need to make a simple HTTP client. Then if somebody builds a.nds loader around the HTTP client, we may not need Ralink cards and WMB anymore, as we can just use Apache HTTP Server.

    of course a HTTP client is about as difficult to write as a hello world app ;) I dare say we will be seeing a lot of interesting junk soon :D

    Also, will this allow graphics?
