Nintendo DSi browser in action

Not much to this topic, I just wanted to share that the DSi browser is still surprisingly capable nowadays! It can’t load modern sites, but using Frogfind (a service that dumbs down websites so older browsers can access them) you can do quite a lot.

Brickshelf doesn’t fully work, you can only view the thumbnail images (and you can only load one image at a time).

Websites that are mainly text like Wikipedia or Biosector01 are great, the DS makes for a nice reader.

Another one of my favorite websites, Technicopedia, is fully functional!

And lastly… The boards unfortunately don’t work.

This was a fun experiment. It’s obviously much easier to use any modern device’s browser instead of this, but it’s fun how much the DSi can still do (and it loads pages really fast).
