Has anyone seen the Nostalgia mode in Opera 9?
I was looking through some of the menus in Opera just now and saw a 'Nostalgie button so pressed it and...
Opera for 8 bit Computers
Would I be right in thinking that that screen looks very Commodore 64 like?
It even puts a READY message at the bottom :)
If you hadn't seent his, go into the 'View' Menu, then go to 'Style', and click on 'Nostalgia'.
That's cool. I've not discovered that myself. Will have to take a look.
And yes, it is just like a C64. :)
Opera have a page about all the different modes here: http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/stylesheets/
Aw, man, I was expecting a verson of it actually made to run on 8-bit machines so I could be all like "zOMGWTFBBQLOLZ"
Alas. But it's a nice touch anyway - things like that really should be encouraged. Not that I have ever used Opera, and probably won't ever but that's not the point.
Nice find, Steve.
Looks indeed very nice :)
You know, that is exactly what I though when I originally clicked on the thread too. Having Opera actually working on an 8-bit computer would be quite mad, and I would imagine very slow!Quote:

I knew the Wii was underpowered, but 8-bit? ;) :pQuote:

It even says in massive letters "powered by Opera", and on the Wii box too. For shame :whistle:
The Opera browser is also available for the DS too.
It needs the RAM expansion to work properly though, does it not?
Yes, I think it comes bundled with some required hardware.
Opera Mini is also available for most mobiles, and is pretty good. Beats the built-in browsers of most mobiles easily. Just point your mobiles browser to operamini.com to try it out.
Firefox are also currently working on a mobile version of their browser.
