Okiwi - Alpha v1, out now |
Ó
After almost a year since we first covered it, the homebrew Okiwi for the Nintendo DS which was being developed by Pedro J. Estebanez has finally been released in its Alpha form. Though it's expected that some of the functions haven't been fully implemented yet, Estebanvez has still done a spot-on job with this free web browser.Before you install the program, you have to remember that it uses the Dynamically Linked Design Interface (DLDI). The download we have is patched for SuperCard Lite, so if the app isn't compatible with your hardware, then you can still find an appropriate patch for your card.
To install the program, simply unzip the file and move the unzipped "Okiwi" folder into the root directory, and you're done. The file can be unzipped directly into the root of the Flashcard if you choose to do so.
Also, inside the "Okiwi" folder, you will find another folder named "fonts" which includes three true type fonts (serif, sanserif, and monotype). In addition, there are also fonts with pre-rendered sizes (we assume this is to keep memory usage low). The extension name for these files are .okf which stand for Okiwi Font. Meanwhile, the rest of the files contain tables which are needed to associate character bitmaps with their respective Unicode. The extension name fore these files is .okm which stands for Okiwi Map.
It is important to note that if any of these files are deleted, the software should generate them again from the TrueType fonts.
When it comes to navigation, the only way to navigate within documents being viewed via Okiwi is by using the stylus. There are also only 2 working buttons for this release. The first button allows the user to enter a URL, and the second button which allows to set the zoom level.
Please remember that this an Alpha release and it may be unstable. If you don't want to risk it, you can wait for some of the early adopters to try it and post their comments on how it runs. You can download the application via the download link below.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.......... Can't wait till the stable version comes out, or atleast the next update :D
Okiwi looks like a really nice interface once loaded on my DS. However, without the ability to load any other pages besides one clearly formated to fit the browser perfectly left me disappointed with this looooooong awaited release. Unless you really want to confirm that you will be able to load the next release wait for the beta version. If you get a red top screen and black lower make sure the Okiwi folder is in the root directory with the font folder in it.
this ***** cant browse webpages, their is only a okiwi page,nothin to do
it runs and displays that Okiwi page on my ds with ewin2, but it seems frozen after that. tried to drag with stylus and tab the buttons, nothing working. looking forward to the next version.
its is work for R4???....
