To active the vertical mode automatically, add this tag between <head></head> :

You can test that with a demo page on my website : here

Detect User Agent

To detect if the user agent is Nintendo DSi Browser :

<script type="text/javascript">
     window.onload=function() 
     {
         if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Nintendo DSi') == -1) //If the UserAgent is not "Nintendo DSi"
         {
               location.replace('http://www.dsibrew.org'); //Redirect to an other page
         }
     }
</script>

Key Codes

37 Left
38 Up

Notes :

  • Only A, Up, and Down normally emit codes
  • Left and Right can be read only if L or R are held
  • Holding L or R disables the A button
