I was just reading some information about the latest PSP firmware and noticed that it now supports LocationFree TV. I have seen this in action with a 12" panel and the interface is really nice. The stream is good quality, and considering it's wifi, there is not much delay when switching channels.I am curious to try this on my PSP, but not quite ready to upgrade my firmware from the beloved 1.5 firmware which supports Lua.What I am even more curious about are these LocationFree Base stations. They appear to be using standard 802.11 protocol to connect the base to the display.I was wondering if anyone has looked at the data being sent over the LocationFree WIFI connetion to see what codecs it is using for the stream. Is it some standard H.263 / H.264 codec that could be replicated on the PC...

Commercial PSP Home Control Product
So it looks like someone finally decided to market my idea.A company called SkipJam who makes these little media centers is building a webpage into their unit that is formatted for a PSP.Check out an article on them here:http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/1391/skipjam_announces_pspFunny how the screenshot shows a mouse pointer. Does the PSP browser have a mouse?Those of you who have visited this page before may remember my PSP Home Control 1.0 Project that I did back in April.I don't want to make any promises, but since then I have made several improvements to my Home Control System and I'm hoping to share some more pics and video with everyone soon. I promise you it is much crazier than anything that skipjam is doing. Stay tun...
PSP 2.0 Downgrader
Sweet! Congrats to all of the 2.0 users out there. Welcome to the wonderful world of PSP homebrew! For all of the related files pspupdates.com usually keeps a nice database of goodies in their file section.I'm curious if there are any side effects to dong this. I wanted to try upgrading to 2.0 so I can use the browser, then downgrade back to 1.5. I'm sure in a few more weeks they will have diffed the two firmwares, and 2.0 psp's will be fully hacked- no downgrade required. Time will tell.I am simply amazed at the amount of combined knowledge that has gone into bringing this little machine this far, with no dev kits or documentation. Much respect to MPH and the others involved in making this happen.Remember kids, it's all about the homebrew. Don't do bad things with the knowledge you gain in...

PSP Homebrew Web Browser Released... Finally
Beating Sony to it, the homebrew devs have released a web browser for the PSP. There are now several ways to browse the internet using the PSP. There are actually a few browsers out right now, but you'll have to search for them. The one that I know of is a browser for 2ch.net a japanese site. By default the browser goes to their website, but with some clever hex editing there should be a way to set your homepage to anything you want.Download the PSP web browser for your PSP 1.0 or 1.5 here: 2ch Stand Alone Browser for the ...

Lua - Game Scripting for the PSP
I've been spending some time understanding how to program in the programming language Lua. There is some soure code on PSPDev from skippy which provides a shell for people to program games for the PSP. Instead of needing to compile the entre PSP toolchain, all you need to do is edit a text file. Modify the script, drop it on to your PSP and you've got a game.It's something like this that sony should pick up sign with their key and put on a UMD with a nice graphics library. Then they give the ability to allow people to create their own games allowing homebrew to thrive without feeding into the piracy of their commercial games.I'm looking forward to the PC player and the next release of Lua with GU lib. I have not ran into any major bugs, but it was difficult to understand some of the syntax....

PSP WiFi Multi Test Code
Lately I have not wanted to post anything here because there has not been much going on. There are new emulators released every day, and the pspsdk keeps growing with new samples, which is great!... But most of what i've been reading on the other psp sites is a bunch of drama over who came first and bad people who abuse the 'scene'.This site is not about adding to the drama, only being informative and a good source of news for the PSP. With that said, I am proud to announce the release of PSPPet's WiFi Multi Test Code 002.It still has a few issues, but it should make it much easier to implement the PSP WiFi code in any application. This version not only allows you to type text to your PSP, but has several other tests as well. Here are the new features: * Picker for net conguration (DHCP...

PSP WiFi Functionality - PSP Web Browser
Since day 1 with my PSP, I have dreamed of the ability to use the WiFi network connectivity of my PSP to connect to other networked devices. Everything in my house is IP controlled, my lights, my TV, my DVD player... All of my media (movies & music) is shared on the network. All of my websites, email accounts, and RSS feeds are accessable through the network.The PSP to me is basically a very slick looking LCD screen with WiFi. By gaining access to that WiFi connection, developers will be able to make the PSP do crazy things. A few of the ideas I've had were:-Adding netcode to games to make them multiplayer-Adding 2 player network mode to the emulators-Video/Audio/Game Download Applications-EBoot Auto-Updater (dangerous, i know...)-Integration with Web Services - SNMP Management -Control...

Forced PSP Upgrades Rant
I like to use this site as a way to vent my frustrations with Sony. I dobut anyone from Sony actually reads this but in case they do I have a few words for you. Unless it is absolutely required for a game to utilize a newer version of firmware in order to operate as it was intended, users should not have to update their machines.If users have to choose if they want to use their PSP for playing your games or using it for homebrew, the answer is likely going to be homebrew. Please don't deny us the ability to use both. I am more than willing to pay $$ for your games if it does not run the risk of ruining my hobby, and making my PSP less useful to ...

My First PSP Homebrew App
I did it! I've successfully installed the pspdev toolchain, modified nem's hello world code, and even added in some controller functionality to listen for button presses. Once I had some workign code that compiled, I was able to test and tweak it using pspe emulation software. After I was happy with the results I used psp homebrew 9 to automatically make swap exploit files and upload them to my memory sticks. I did the swap trick and like magic I had my first program running on the PSP.My next trick is to figure out how to import some of the functions and modules. I've played around with stubbing in the functions within the startup.s file, and I'm pretty sure i've got the sceCtrl libs implemented properly in the program.

PSP 1.5 Crack - Confirmed Working
Yes, it is true. The PSP has been hacked. 1.5 users can now run homebrew PSP software. The discovery comes from the guys at psp-dev. The concept is pretty simple, I am suprised that it actually works, and amazed nobody found it sooner. It requires 2 memory sticks.You put a hacked eboot on one MS, and the actual ELF executable on the second MS with the same name. When you launch the hacked eboot, you quickly swap the memory stick for another one and it runs th eunencrypted file. For some reason it does not recheck the header and it just runs the execuatable from address 0. Very strange indeed.Meanwhile, now I finally have a way to start working on getting a web browser on the PSP. I have a lot of work to do. If anyone is intrested in setting up a project to get a browser running or if you know...

PSP 1.5 Crack - Release in less than 24 hours
Well, once again it has been reported that the 1.5 PSP has been hacked. This time it is coming from a Spanish group called psp-dev. Normally I would have dismissed this as a fake, because so far, little proof has been released. I hope someone will prove me wrong, however, several sites such as Engadget, ps2nfo.com and psphacker.com are all confirming that this looks legit.Others are claiming that this could be a virus that will wipe out PSP's. So if you see something claiming to be the loader be careful and make sure it is from a reputable source before you run it.Time will tell if this is the real deal or not. I will be sure to update this post when it is released on June 15th at 9AM ESTHere are some links to check out related to this subject:http://www.only4.info/psp-devhttp://www.ps2nfo.com/http://www.ps2nfo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2245...

Smashing the Stack - PSP Buffer Overflow Exploits
If anyone atempting to do buffer overflow exploits on the PSP, I'd suggest taking a look at this article:http://www.hxdef.org/knowhow/stackover.txtIt explains in great details, how a stack works, the concepts behind a buffer overflow, examples on how to write shell code, and how to bring everything together using NOPs to get to the right place in memory.

It is not PSP specific, but the concepts are the same. Good lu...

Swapless PSP 1.5 exploit
The guys at PSP-DEV have done it again. They have released a new application that does not require you to swap memory sticks to run homebrew apps on your PSP. Put 2 folders in your GAME directory. First folder is the 'loader' which should have a % at the end of the directory name. The second directory has the elf file renamed to eboot.pdp and does not have the % in the directory name. When the PSP loads the first eboot it strips the % and runs the other directory with the elf. It's amazing how simple this was.For more info:http://www.ps2nfo....

6 ways to crash the Wipeout Browser
tbminc over at ps2dev was been able to put the wipeout browser into a buffer overflow mode and execute other system functions. This looks promising for doing an exploit. With help of #pspdev i was able to continously call "sceKernelSleepThread", so sound continued but browser crashed. yay.The binary is in fact loaded to 08900000. That location seems to be "static", it isn't randomized or so.Next big task is to place some more interesting code somewhere where we know the memory address of.

1.50, 1.51 Homebrew Exists
So the guys at http://www.ps2nfo.com/ are posting some info about a way to run their own code on a 1.50 and 1.51 PSP. The people that have the code that makes it work are software pirates. I do not promote piracy, and I agree that it hurts the video game industry (look at Dreamcast). However, if anyone was going to figure it out, it would be the software pirates, because they have the most desire to be the first. If these files surface, I will be sure to post about them right here. But as of yet, my 1.5 PSP is still useless to me for homebrew.Also, there is a thread on ps2dev from a newbie claiming he modified the snes emulator to run on a 1.5.

PSP Firmware 1.0
Someone has used the previously mentioned tools to extract a 1.0 firmware form their PSP. I'm not sure how useful it is. While it's good to have the files for exploration, most of them are encrypted and useless.Besides that, there is no known way to package these files into a valid 'firmware updater' program to downgrade a PSP.Some people are experimenting with the 1.50 and 1.51 to see if a downgrade process is even possible. What really sucks is that now that Sony will be putting firmware on the UMD disks, and requiring an update to play the game, it really hurts when a new game comes out and you have to lose all of your hacks and homebrew software to play it. At least until someone cracks the new version of firmware.I see a long battle ahead. Best of luck to the programmers! Ps2Dev.org seems...

There are hundreds of these little gadget devices out there that have screen and speakers, and all of the new ones are coming out with Wireless Internet built in.It only makes sense that the content creators figure out a way to get their content directly to the viewers and be able to charge them a fair price cutting out all of the middlemen.I used to run one of the largest South Park Sites on the internet back in 1996 (yes I've been making webpages for quite a while now).

Sony PSP Dev Kit
I thought this was good. raiser on ps2dev.org published this 'open letter to sony. Here is a snip:FACT #1) SONY as a company has always been pro development. They released dev consoles for both the PS1 and PS2. SONY has never to my knowledge pressed legal action against anyone in the homebrew scene, except for persons making copyrighted SONY software or bios files publically available.FACT #2) SONY wants desperately to gain a foothold, if not stranglehold, on the handheld gaming side of the industry which has been completely dominated by Nintendo for 10 years.FACT #3) SONY PSP users want to be able to use the PSP in ways perhaps not even dreamed of by SONY. And the user base will figure it out on their own if they have to.FACT #4) The device literally begs to be put to greater use by way of...

PSPHacks
I found a great new site today. The URL is: http://www.psphacks.net/There is some good info on there. The coolest thing I found was a Memory Stick adapter. It got me thinking, if there was a compact flash to memory stick converter I could get one of those cheap hitachi microdrives and start loading my PSP with movies. This whole memory stick thing is too damn expensive. Sony, I hope you are goign to start mass producing these things so they are cheaper. I refuse to pay $300 for a 4gb memory stick. Thats more than the system itself, and I can still only store a handful of movi...
