Pure Java games do not work, but apparently DHTML games do. Check out Lemmings on the above site, it's written entirely in DHTML (no Java or Flash) and works perfectly fine on the Wii
Not all of the games on that site work, but a lot of them do. I've tried Smashing and Hexagon so far. Pacman and Goldminer unfortunatel require keyboard input
The browser seems to work well so far.
Hopefully the final version of the browser will make usage of the D-pad to simulate the arrow keys. At the very least, I wish the D-pad could be used for scrolling - the method they have for scrolling on there is slow and annoying.
I'm wondering why the browser doesn't go full-screen though, there's a black-bar on the top of the screen where the browser won't reach, but the Wiimote cursor does. It would be nice if they included a real full-screen mode in there to temporarily hide the browser buttons on the bottom as well.
Form password entry doesn't seem exactly trustworthy in the current version. The text-entry is shown on the screen in plain-text, no starred entry, although I guess that's just a result of the default virtual keyboard interface.
Has anyone tried figuring out what the ideal Wii-display resolution is? Zoomed resolution I estimate as roughly 400x200 pixels for full-screen (and it looks rather good to). |
