*UPDATE*This has been declared a hoax until code is released. All links to their site have been removed. Sorry for posting this BS in the first place.http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about286.htmlBTW, i'm with Fluff... if those guys actually do turn out to release something that opens the doors for homebrew, I will donate to thier paypal link as well.--Apparently, there is a Flaw in Tony Hawk Underground for PSP, which allows the execution of homebrew code. A group called PSP Stumbler tease us that they may have found a buggy way of exploiting the game.Take this for what it's worth. The links are provided below for your own inspection.http://www.psp-linux.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=284&st=0&#entry2...

Video/Audio/Image Content Distribution Channels on the PSP
Here is my unedited rant about streaming video content to the PSP. Take it for what it's worth...Is it just me or are the big corporation missing out on a huge opportunity here? 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). Back then downloading video on the internet was not very exciting. It could take several nights of downloading on my 28.8 modem to get a full episode....

Read Magazines on your PSP
From psp-hacks.net, I discovered a site that has taken scans from magazines and put them into image files which will fit perfectly on your PSP screen. It's a really cool idea, but i would think it's only a matter of time before these guys get shut down by the publishing companies. Lets hope the magazines wake up and take advantage of this new distribution medium. It seems like Playboy is the only one catching on with this."Utilizing the "Photos" feature on your PSP and a small Duo Pro card, you can store a ton of these little magazines for later viewing.Simply download the zip file, and unpack it to your PSP's photo directory."Check it out at http://www.pspmagazines....

Create your own spoofed DNS server for Wipeout
MooPS is a DNS/Web server that you run on your computer. It automatically forwards ingame.scea.com to the url of your choice. Using MooPS, you have total control over your PSP browsing experience. After MooPS is installed you need to setup the server settings. Select the IP address you want Moops to listen on, then give it a redirect address to send your PSP to a different URL. Stat up your PSP and edit your DNS server settings to the IP address of your computer.Thats it, click OK to save the settings.Click 'Server' --> 'Start'If everything is OK, you should see the following:OK: Spoof ServerOK: DNS ServerOK:...
Control Winamp from your PSP
I found a neat little program called BrowseAmp. You install it on your PC and it creates a mini web server. When you access the webserver through a browser it generates an HTML page that has special links that control the winamp player running on your PC. Use your favorite Wipeout Browser Portal, and surf over the the IP address of your PC and you will be controlling the music coming out of your PC's speakers in no time!Now someone just needs to come out with a cool skin that is formatted to the right size for the PSP screen. Download it at:http://www.browseamp.c...

PSP Home Control 1.0
When the wipeout browser hack came out, I saw someone controlling XBMC from their PSP browser. It's great that you could control XBMC from your PSP, but what if your XBOX isn't on, and your TV isn't on, and your TV is not on the right input?? You still have to get up or find the remote and adjust all of that... I've come up with my own solution...Step 1: Setting up the DNS HackThe first step was to be able to redirect the Wipeout Browser to any url I want. To do that I turned to MooPS, which is a DNS/Web server that you run on your computer. It automatically forwards ingame.scea.com to the url of your choice. Once Sony releases their browser...

Japenese vs US PSP Compatibility list

Movies only work in their region and the PSP Game UMD's are region fr...

Extensive PSP Data Capture
MWerner and MMegally have done a lot of great research on the PSP. You can find all of their discoveries on their blog:http://psp.wtfwasthat.com/They seem to be the closest in the race to be able to run their own code on the PSP. There are packet dumps from Ethereal for looking at traffic between the PSP and update server, as well as a capture of the Namco Museum game Transfer.I figured I'd give it a plug in hopes that maybe someone else will take a look and see something they did not noti...

Memory Stick Snooper - Capturing Serial Data
Jerome Demers (robomaniac) posted some great pics that show how to extend the memory stick out of the PSP. Now we can see what kind of data is being passed back and fourth from the stick on bootup and during load games.http://www.psp-linux.org/forums/Hopefully it is not encrypted, but I have a bad feeling it is... The good news is, the memory stick format command in the menu might help solve the problem of converting another type of memory (CF, SD, IDE, USB) into a format PSP understan...

Facts and Info on the Sony Memory Stick Format
I've been looking into the possibility of trying to convert memory stick to compact flash, convert memory stick to sd, and convert memory stick to ide.Here is what is known so far, in one convienent place...The best thread about this topic is here:http://www.psp-linux.org/forums/A memory stick can be controlled through the communication with the three wire half-duplex serial protocol, or through communication with the six-wire half-duplex parallel protocol.To officially make a memory stick licensed product with sony it's going to be about $5,000 to get started. They will give you all the specs and protocols. Since we don't have $5,000 we must figure it out ourselves. An FPGA or micro-controller would need to sit in between the two storage interfaces and convert the bits into useable data for...

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...
