Arthurs version would not work with your system anyway. It requires more memory than you have.

You should consider update to OS3.9


I can go to 63 MB - would that be enough ?  (Aca1221).

I just want to see it work and hit basic sites like aminet .  

Guess for now I'll wait for the vampire a1200.

33mb seem to me as rather much, i doubt arturs version requires so much initially, but i woulkd have to recheck. its rather the cpu that hasnt enough power im afraid. i would wait a bit longer, but upgrading to 3.9 on such a config? im not sure..

AGA version requires the FPU though unfortunately :(

http://ami-soft.blogspot.com/

No FPU AGA version is here.
Amiga.org loaded with 8.5 MB RAM left on ClassicWBv28 (it takes 3MB) with 32MB :)
As wawrzon said it would be reeeealy slow on your config though, but please try and let us know :)

Thanks - this is the version that gives me the video / framebuffer error.

"Unable to Init SDL: No available video device

Maybe it doesn't work because of Indivision AGA?
Can you try without it?
I would try also NewMode program from aminet.

Good Question on the Indivision --

There appears to be no startup software on the Indivision AGA;  so I've booted the CF under WinUAE and achieve the same results.  to "Verify" Indivision is disabled, I've tried loading the software for it and receive the "hardware not found" error.

For NewMode - I see v3.9 on Aminet, and the archive says it contains the Binary only and requires v3.8 (which I cannot find on Aminet or via Google Search).  I've installed v3.9 anyway but receive an error 'configuration file not found' upon boot.  

I'll make a backup of this CF card and install BetterWB and/or Amiga OS 3.5 and see if Netsurf magically works :)

NetSurf 3.6 Dev released

Main focus was on speed up bitmap rendering.

    * optimised dithering a bit (thanks matthey)
    * optimised little to big endian conversion
    * replaced buggy libiconv which disabled css on some sites (eg.68kforever)
    * added low dithering quality option
    * fixed scale option bug
    * fixed favourite modifiy bug
    * youtube can be played as mp3 with preffered mp3 player in Prefs
    * updated libsdl to 1.2.15 with optimised parts from sdl 2.0.4
    * changed - download and play mp3 instead of stream
    * reduced binary size by 300kB

Please test and post if loading is faster, thanks!

Not work for me. After double click on icon, attempt load (you can see on memory display), but few seconds later, stop, and not load nothing and the memory are clean again.

Have you tested Chris' version? It requiresOS3.5/9 and 32mb ram

If you are coder DNADNL has made contributing to Project easy. Netscript downloads and compiles Netsurf. It requires CygWin dev tools for Windows

It uses render and guigfx libraries. Has some color problems with AGA. With RTG you need to manually edit users/choises file to have friend_bitmap:1 switch.

There is also a precompiled version to download.

I don't know why you keep mentioning this, as it forces this option ON for "obvious" RTG screens anyway (and has done so for ages).  Unless that's not working?

[EDIT] I need to correct my self, it doesn't work. I tested first with amigaworld.net, where problem is not that obivous. Amiga.org has color problems if friend_bitmap is not set manually.

Is your screen depth 16-bit or higher?
