More:

-Favorites: Click on the star on the bottom and click add favorite when you are on a page. This will bookmark the current we page.

-If a site has a pop up, Opera will open them in whatever order they're in. So, For example, if you go to www.wiichat.com and there are supposed to be 2 popup ads, when you go to Wiichat on Wii opera, you'll end up seeing the 2nd add. You'll have to press back twice to go to wiichat (since in this example it has 2 pop up ads)

Ok, so i was just watching an episode of athf, and all of a sudden, the screen freezes and makes a loud screeching noise. it wasn't coming from the wii console itself, but just the sound. I had to shut the wii off and turn it back on and its fine. Anybody else have this problem??

and by the way, how fast does your internet go, it does not go nearly as fast as my home computer or laptop

the same thing has happened to me and i had to do the same thing that you did. also for some reason the browser was flashing on and off and i had to reset the software... seems wierd but this is a "trial". Oh well...

Orb 2.0 works perfect for me! It even allows me to stream my Divx movies to the Wii via flash format. If anybody needs help on this, just PM me. Thid program is actually allowing me to view all formats and listen to all formats of movies. You just have to have your output files as flash and it will stream any format into flash, therefore allowing the Wii to do it's thing.

A couple questions:
-i'm assuming this "trial version" we are all using is a beta?
-when the final release comes out, will it still be free? i had heard as long as you downloaded before june07 it was gonna be free.

Does anyone else's browser have rough or imperfect edges around the browser frame? Specifically at the top right of the screen. (I'm on a regular, non-widescreen, non-HD TV.)

Bubbagump · 12-24-2006, 01:15 AM

Thanks i needed to know there was at least some games i could play on my wii.

Moten · 12-24-2006, 05:06 AM

Nintendo is releasing the full version in March. You will be able to download it for free for the first few months on the shop channel. After that it will be available to download for 500 Wii points.

I subscribe to xm radio, but it won't work on the wii. I guess i'll just try mp3's like you folks mention. I hope they come out with a keyboard because it took me forever to post this on my wii lol! Other than that, I love this browser!
Also anyone know a site i can watch Family Guy episodes on?

I would have to agree about the keyboard. As it take far to long to write a decent post on the Wii. I posted a couple of times via the Wii browser and it take some time considering how short the post was.

Is there any way to get that huge dock at the bottom to minimize in the browser?

Not at this time. It seems to be a large complaint from everyone I talked to, so you can be sure the Full version will have that capability.

Marty McFly · 12-24-2006, 07:21 PM

I sure hope so. Quicktime, WMV, and full screen support would be great too.

NES · 12-25-2006, 05:10 AM

At first I thought the browser was pretty awesome. But it seems like now it keeps freezing up on me and making me unplug the system all the time!! But hey, it's just a trial. It will all be gravy when the real deal comes out.
