The Nintendo DS Browser is a port of the Opera 8.5 web browser for use on the Nintendo DS , developed by Opera Software and Nintendo , and sold as a standalone game cartridge. Two versions were sold, one for the original Nintendo DS and one for the Nintendo DS Lite , each with a different Slot-2 memory expansion pack to fit the respective system.
67-530: The browser received mixed reviews from critics, largely focusing on its slow speeds despite its functionality. It was later rendered obsolete by an improved browser on the system's upgraded version, the Nintendo DSi , which, unlike its predecessor, was onboard software. Nintendo DS Browser makes use of the Nintendo DS's touchscreen for input, with an on-screen keyboard as well as handwriting recognition and
134-410: A microphone (NUS-021), a yellow foam cover for the microphone, and a clip for clipping the microphone to the controller (NUS-025, bundled with Hey You, Pikachu! ) or a plastic neck holder for hands-free usage (NUS-022, bundled with Densha de Go! 64 ). The VRU is calibrated for best recognition of a high-pitched voice, such as a small child's, and other voices are less likely be recognized properly by

During playback, users have access to features such as forwarding, rewinding, and volume controls. Nintendo presumably envisioned DSi Sound as being a substitute for a real music player. However, there is an important drawback of
469-554: A normal Nintendo 64 console and a PC by providing a cartridge form factor holding flash storage with a cable connection to a PC. Nintendo officially licensed SN Systems to make the SN Systems dev kit and SN Maestro 64, the second generation of Nintendo 64 SDK in PC partner form to replace the Indy-hosted hardware solution. Unofficial kits include IS-VIEWER 64 and Partner 64. The Monegi Smart Pack
536-461: A performance cost, in some cases dramatically so. This use of the Expansion Pak can be attributed to ease of implementation and games that mainly target the stock console; additional RDRAM cannot be easily used to circumvent other bottlenecks of the console, such as the small texture cache. The original NTSC release of Space Station Silicon Valley may crash in certain places if the Expansion Pak

The Nintendo 64 controller (NUS-005) is an "m"-shaped controller with 10 buttons (A, B, C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, C-Right, L, R, Z, and Start), one analog stick in the center, a digital directional pad on the left side, and an extension port on the back for many of the system's accessories. Initially available in the seven colors of gray, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, and black, and it
670-583: A simple menu option. The Nintendo DS browser supports JavaScript and SSL in web pages, but does not support plugins like Adobe Flash , or bold text. Due to limited system resources, most other dynamic media, such as videos or sound, will not work in the browser. Both browsers include a web search feature. The Nintendo DS Browser defaults to Yahoo! (currently powered by Bing ) outside of Japan, or Yahoo! Japan (currently powered by Google ) in Japan, but can be configured to any supported search engine by editing
737-598: A soft reset button that returns the user to the home menu. The Nintendo DSi provides some built-in applications. Initially, users are able to access five programs from the main menu: DSi Camera, DSi Sound, DSi Shop, PictoChat, and Download Play. The DSi's menu is akin to the Channel interface of the Nintendo Wii in that new programs can be downloaded and added to the interface. The DSi Camera application allows for taking images and applying various filters. The DSi Sound application

The peripheral was initially announced in 1995, planned for release in 1997, and repeatedly delayed until its release in December 1999. It was launched alongside a now defunct online service called Randnet. With nine games released, it was a commercial failure and so
1072-412: Is a CD-ROM peripheral designed by Bung Enterprises and released in 1996. It plugs into the Nintendo 64's underside expansion slot, and uses a lockout-bypass adaptor that fits into the cartridge port, into which any retail cartridge is inserted for use of its lockout chip by proxy. The Doctor V64 Jr. is a cheaper, condensed version that fits into the cartridge port and provides a parallel port connection to
1139-440: Is a collection of third-party hardware and software which facilitates real-time development while the game is running on the console. Through the decades, many unlicensed third-party peripheral devices have provided many consumer-friendly alternative storage mediums for retail Nintendo 64 consoles. They bypass console security for the purpose of development or for users making backups of game cartridges and save data. The Doctor V64
1206-492: Is a fishing controller manufactured by ASCII Corporation and compatible with a few fishing games released in Japan, like Bass Rush - ECOGEAR Power Worm Championship , Nushi Tsuri 64: Shiokaze Ninotte , or Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No.1 Definitive Edition! A train controller compatible with just one game: Densha de Go! 64 . It is similar to other controllers for the same game series on different platforms such as Dreamcast and PlayStation.

It is compatible only with Tetris 64 , which causes simpler or more complex shapes to drop depending on how fast the player's heart is beating. This device is similar to the unreleased Wii Vitality Sensor . The Tsuricon 64 (ASC-0905)
1340-512: Is most likely due to the increased production and retail costs which would have been caused by including self-contained data on the cartridge. Some games use it to save optional data that is too large for the cartridge, such as Mario Kart 64 , which uses 121 of the total 123 pages for storing ghost data, or International Superstar Soccer 64 , which uses the entire cartridge's space for its save data. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater uses 11 pages. Quest 64 and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon use

Perfect Dark blocks access to content, including the single-player campaign, when no Expansion Pak is present, and the game's packaging states that "approximately 35%" of the game is available in that case. It is required for all 64DD software. In StarCraft 64 , it is needed to unlock levels from the Brood War add-on from
1541-562: Is thematically similar to DSi Camera, serving as a sound recorder and editor (along with a low bitrate AAC music player). Features include themed equalizers and modulators that modify a user's voice to sound similar to a robot or parakeet ( Toy Story 3 is the only DSi enhanced game to use the DSi's audio modulator engine). The DSi Shop would serve as the DS counterpart of the Wii Shop Channel. Unlike Nintendo's previous handheld consoles such as
1608-501: The Nintendo 3DS consoles also adopted this approach, and as a result all Nintendo DSi and 3DS-specific games are locked to a certain region, while original DS games are still region-free. In addition to DSiWare, which are DSi-exclusive (although later they can also run on a 3DS), there are also "DSi-enhanced" games containing DSi-exclusive features, but can still be played with earlier Nintendo DS models. While most original DS games can run on
1675-512: The PC version. Quake II features higher color depth and better performance, but not a higher resolution, with the Expansion Pak. In the vast majority of games with support, such as Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine , the Expansion Pak is merely used as additional frame buffer memory to enable various high-resolution (usually interlaced) mode options at
1742-577: The ROM hacking community released a patch to enable third-party memory accessories with the browser, which must be installed as a ROM image on a homebrew device. It is unclear if the browser uses all of the additional RAM, or if it is limited to just 8 MB. On February 15, 2006, the Opera Software company announced plans to develop a web browser for the Nintendo DS. In Australia and the United States, only

Animal Forest also had the ability to play Famicom games that were saved onto a Controller Pak. This second use was far less known, as only one game, Ice Climber , was released via this method through a Nintendo Dream magazine giveaway. Following the 1996 Christmas shopping season , Next Generation reported "impressive sales of
2211-415: The Controller Pak was initially useful, and even necessary for early games. Over time, the Controller Pak lost popularity to the convenience of a battery backed SRAM or EEPROM in some cartridges. Because the Nintendo 64 Game Pak format also allows saving data on supported cartridges, few first-party and second-party games use the Controller Pak. The vast majority are from third-party developers . This
