Game console browsers

Nintendo DS

Runs an Opera browser.

Diagram of the DS

The browser for the Nintendo DS is not installed by default. A browser cartridge must be bought separately and this comes with a memory expansion pack.

CSS support is very low. A lot of sites would only display a linearised layout.

There is an option to disable images in the toolbar.
