Nintendo DSi Sound

2009-08-18T15:08:55Z

Mtp: /* Tips */

{{stub}}

Nintendo DSi Sound is built into the Nintendo DSi and utilizes its microphone.

== Description ==

Nintendo DSi Sound is an application that ship with the Nintendo DSi. With it, you can listen and "play with" AAC audio files stored on a memory card. You can also record and edit your own voice. It can't play MP3 audio files. The sound application can also browse through folders that you store your music in. For instance, you can make a folder on the SD card that is named "Country" and put all of your country music in it and when you are looking for music on the channel you will see the folder "Country" and be able to see all of the music, and play, all the music that has been put in it. This can help you organize your music if you have a lot of it on the SD card. Note that there is a 3,000 song display limit on the Nintendo DSi.

Pictochat

Mtp:

{{stub}}[[Image:Pictochat.jpg|thumb|320px|This is a Pictochat chat room, but with no other chatters.]]

'''Pictochat''', included with all Nintendo DS systems, is a simple chat software capable of sending text and hand drawn pictures.

== Changes from previous Nintendo DS systems ==

Pictochat is unchanged from previous Nintendo DS gaming systems, except for the fact that exiting Pictochat now returns you to the DSi menu as opposed to shutting the system down. Also, with the DSi, you can now use a rainbow pen, which is backwards compatible with the original DS and the DS Lite. The original DS and DS Lite can receive and copy rainbow colors sent by the DSi.
You can toggle color on and off by tapping on the pen tool when it's on already.

Nintendo DSi Browser

2009-08-18T14:55:14Z

Mtp:

The '''Nintendo DSi Browser''' is a free application downloadable from the [[Nintendo DSi Shop]]. It is capable of browsing the internet, but only with some plugins, including Javascript. Adobe Flash is not compatible with the application. Though Flash is not supported, sites such as DSiCade and DSiPaint have took advantage of the Javascript functionality and created games and applications, similar to ones created for Adobe Flash.

== Changelog ==

=== 29/30 July 2009 version (507) ===

* Reducing the size by 3 blocks

=== First version (483) ===

== User Agent strings ==

Sample DSi Browser User Agent Strings :
*Opera/9.50 (Nintendo DSi; Opera/483; U; en-US)
*Opera/9.50 (Nintendo DSi; Opera/483; U; en-GB)
*Opera/9.50 (Nintendo DSi; Opera/507; U; en-US)
*Opera/9.50 (Nintendo DSi; Opera/507; U; en-GB)

== Tips ==

=== Vertical mode ===

To active the vertical mode automatically, add one of the following tags between <head></head> :

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=240">

Using device-width will adapt the page to the width of other mobile devices.

You can test this mode with the following demo page: [http://www.cashman-productions.fr.nf/dsi/ here]

=== Detect User Agent ===

To detect if the user agent is Nintendo DSi Browser :

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function()
{
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Nintendo DSi') == -1) //If the UserAgent is not "Nintendo DSi"
{
location.replace('http://www.dsibrew.org'); //Redirect to an other page
}
}
</script>

=== Key Codes ===

{|class="wikitable" width="20%"
! Code !! Button
|-
| 13 || A
|-
| 37 || Left
|-
| 38 || Up
|-
| 39 || Right
|-
| 40 || Down
|}

'''Notes''' :

* Only A, Up, and Down normally emit codes
* Left and Right can be read only if L or R are held
* Holding L or R disables the A button

== Screen Resolution ==

The DSi screen resolution is 256x192. However, the viewable area in the browser is only <b>240x176</b>. Both screens provide the same viewable area.

In vertical mode, you can have a page span both screens. However, the browser will behave as if the bottom screen is the only active screen and the top screen is scrolled off. This is important when computing CSS coordinates. Items positioned from "bottom" will be positioned based on 176px and not the full 352px of both screens.

== Using Both Screens ==

Here's how your webpage can span both screens:

# Use the meta tag to set vertical mode
# Ensure that your page takes up exactly 240x352 pixels.
# Add the following JavaScript just before the </body> tag:

<script>document.body.scrollTop = 176;</script>

Generally the easiest way to accomplish the correct layout is to create HTML elements that "contain" the top and bottom screens. Here's an example:

<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=240">
<style>
body { margin: 0px; }
#topscreen, #bottomscreen { width: 240px; height: 176px; overflow: hidden; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="topscreen">Top Screen</div>
<div id="bottomscreen">Bottom Screen</div>
</body>
</html>

This scheme allows the page to be easily manipulated through JavaScript.
