Discussion articles are fun to write and fun to have, so let’s have another one! This time it’s about handhelds. Many people have mixed feelings about handhelds. They’re over priced, they have some of the most fun games, they’ll never be good as consoles, they’re useless, etc. There’s very mixed messages here and there. So let’s take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of  handhelds, how they’re treated, the quality of the games they receive, and what role they’ll play in the gaming industry in the future.

For those who still own a copy of the DS Browser, you’re bound to someday miss the functionalities of a full fledged desktop browser. Not only can you not open a new “tab” nor save cookies, the DS browser feels sort of incomplete. Even when you check off “Automatically log me in” on any sort of webpage, it simply doesn’t work.

So I dug around for a bit, and found some pretty awesome “extra features” that you can easily “install” to the DS Browser. Not only is there a tabbing feature, there’s also a password-saving like feature to save time logging in to webpages. Want to find out how? Read on!

Hey guys I’m DeltaBurnt. I’m a new blogger here for DS Database . Basically I’m just going to post some fun blogs and do reviews of various electronics and toys (possibly flashcarts if I get one that hasn’t been reviewed here yet). Anyways I’m doing a review of a cheap 9 dollar headset on dealextreme. This is a headset from YIHAO that has a microphone (you probably already know that from picture ^^). That’s it right up there *points towards the picture at the top*. Yep that baby’s only 9 dollars! Is it worth it? Or will it fall apart the second you pick it up? Continue reading to find out!

The Nintendo DS browser,  is, well, obviously, a web browser for the Nintendo DS.  The browser got discontinued after release; Nintendo never announced why. I happen to still have a copy I picked up from Fry’s a long time ago.

In a nutshell: The DS browser renders well for a mobile browser, but renders real slow. It takes usually about a minute to fully render a page. There’s no flash, no java, no ajax… but I can render html-heavy websites with ease.

When it comes to the DS browser, there are two types of rendering. Overview mode, in which the chosen screen will render just like the desktop, but real small. There’s a little blue box in which you can drag around, that magnifies the part in which you highlight in real time on the opposite screen. SSR mode, or Small Screen Rendering, is just like a phone browser. Only certain parts are rendered, and the page is shoved down to the width of the screen. SSR usually renders faster than Overview.

So how does DSDatabase’ Forums stack up with the DS browser? I ran some speed tests to find out.
