.. what about PSP Hardware Discussions? Will these also go into this subforum? Even though I personally never took part in hardware modding discussions I always enjoyed reading about the "weird" mods and ideas people were talking about :)

I would recommend to check the examples that come with the dev tools

A Japanese PS3 is NTSC/J will run all NTSC PS3 games (regardless of region). will run all NTSC/J PS2 games (that's japanese only PS2 games) will run all same region DVDs (only DVD's in same region as Japan) will run all US/Japan (same BD region) blueray (not europe). A jap. PS3 will only play NTSC ...

Apearently "Account Managment" was added under the "Friends" Submenu. But i am pretty sure that the update also includes several bugfixes and improved security

Why not using Linux? If you write your own OS, you have to implement all the drivers for the hardware yourself, which is included in the Linux distribution (I hope). I think that people *might* think that running an app on top of an OS might be a performance killer. Then my personal opinion is that...

You mean like firmeare upgrade ?!

No thats not possible.

Just hotglue the ethernet port. But then if prisoners are not allowed to have internet access then they should not have internet access capabilities in their rooms

There was an ongoing discussion about the ~PSP File format here:

Also on the net some old PS2 coding veteran had info about the format (don't have the link right now, try to find)

Here are some if you scroll down

I heavily urge you NOT to solder directly on that film stuff..... rather get the appropiate female connector you can plug the film stuff in and solder on the female conector.... 'cause using the hot solder on the thin film will burn = destroy the film connector imho

Well i think the same problem as with porting linux to the psp arises... you first need a bootloader for the psp.... 'cause i highly doubt that you can start your "windows ce homebrew" directly form the xmb / memorystick....

You missed to use the search function of this board.
It has been tried and it kills your PSP.

I just like the slogan of a famous US sneeker brand: "Just do it."

data.psp contains the program to flash the firmware

data.psar contains the files that are written to the firmware

No it is not possible to change the psar file to downgrade your psp to 1.0

I dont know anyone notice this before : At 3C-3F : Data.psp : 40 00 40 00 EBoot.psp : 40 00 40 00 Compressed prx : 10 00 10 00 no compress prx : 10 00 40 00 This is not true for every PRX File: for example \flash0\kd\audio.prx has a "file type" flag: 06 10 01 00 so it it commpressed but h...

You should start with an open source text based browser and try to compile it for the psp.. e.g. get the source of lynx and get in running on the psp... not an easy task i think but possible...

"sceStdio" Probably a dev psp. Why is this form a dev psp ? sceStdio is at least present within the 1.0 firmware. Heres a list on whats on currently known to be inside 1.0 and whats not: sceSystemMemoryManager: sysmem.prx sceExceptionManager: exceptiorman.prx sceInterruptManager: interrup...

3rd one from bottom:

sceBlueScreenOfDeath v1.2

Maybe someone can launch this process :D

thats really nice info.... wonder if you can see more of the OS now then compared to flash0 / flash1 access

I think B0-B3 has a slightly different meaning than you are describing. In compressed files its usually a SMALLER number than the 2C-2F offset so its actually related to the compressed / encrypted file. I think its the size of the compressed / encrypted file file minus the headers and NOT 16 byte a...

Encrypted files don't compress at all. It doesn't matter if the file is also compressed, the encryption introduces to much complexity in the file for ZIP to reduce it size. Yes, it's like encryption aims at maximum disorder (= high entropy) thus making encrypted files nearly impossible to compress....

I tried to ZIP both the uncompressed and compressed versions of the same file and they both GREW in size. Really ? Which files where you checking ? I tried boot.bin vs. eboot.bin and libparse_http.prx (umd) vs. (firmware) and both times the uncompressed(=unencrypted) version compressed really well....

Nice :)

I may point you to the PSP File (research thread), too :D

I think you have the following options: - Wait until the PSP gets out in Europe. Then contact Sony to fix it. - Contact the dealer you got it from to get it fixed. (- Contact Sony in your country and ask them for help, even though they're clueless they might be able to point you somewhere) (-Try to ...
