Did some experiments with my DS Lite and ended up with this.
Using DevkitPro libs (libnds, dswifi, calico). Apfel on macOS and a wifi (WEP) bridge running on a RPi Zero 2W. 🖤
The DSi had a built-in browser, the DS and DS Lite require a game card plus a memory expansion pack to use a browser. Even at the time, website support was spotty at best so I dread to think how a browser based on Opera 8.5 from 2006 would work on the modern web
Doesn’t the DS… just have a browser? Meaning you’re just pointing at a web page here?

Yes but this isn’t a full browser, just an API client.
So, even more extra steps for even less functionality, got it.
