Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Progress is much underway now. as some seen in that calculator program for DS, and the internet browser hidden in wipeout on PSP much bigger break throughs have now been made.

PSP >

- PSP UMD format cracked; game ISOs appear

- ontop of that, they've gotten the first home made code to boot up and run on PSP. :) emulators are going to appear sooner then expected. some saying within the next couple months.

This also greatly helps out the work on Linux for PSP.




DS>

- Linux kernel booted on Nintendo DS

Linux with the touch screen would be cool. wonder what they'd do with the other screen, hmm.

oh god that home control looks all too confusing, but amazing at the same time.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Score!

All aboard the pirated train! Next stop, the town of free movies and games! Woo, woo!

lol


honestly i could care less about pirating games. on PSP its just not pratical, no way to burn something onto one of thoes dics, and memory cards would cost too much for each game individually, and unable to fit more then 1 on a memory stick you'd have to transfer one on and off at a time. I just want the old emulators.

Linux is free anyway, so i see nothing wrong with them putting thoes on the handhelds. :)

As soon as the NES and SNES emulator is released I'm jumping on with Chrono Trigger and Punch Out!

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Fair enough, so I can't sell you the pirated games. But don't tell me for a second that you aren't exploding in your pants at the thought of having all your favorite blockbuster movies on your PSP for ABSOLUTLEY FREE! Just imagine watching Season 1 of Lost or 24 while you're on the airplane to your annual Caribbean cruise. Just admit it, you're sold.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

:hmm: but um... you could do that since day one. you could always put whatever movie and video files on and watch it on the psp. How does any of this effect that?

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Awesome. :D

When I finally get a PSP I will also be getting every other game created before the current generation.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Well, that sure didnt take long... GB Emulator up and running on PSP

Of course thats only the first working build of it, they still gotta get sound working, and im sure they plan on making the picture take up the full screen. but it is WORKING.

for now only works on Jap version 1.0 still gotta wait a bit longer for them to crack the 1.5 Jap and NA ones.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

I really want a PSP. I could play all those GBA games for free...

But I keep spending my money on stuff so I can't ever save up enough to buy one. :(

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

I'm satisfied with the progress, keep up the good work. I hope it can download a TV tuner so we can watch TV and cable stations for free.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

buy a tv tuner you mean? you cant download hardware. :p best you can do without bying anything is downloading it over a network or internet wifi.

Re: Hacking the handhelds :)
 

Would you like to be able to watch free TV on your PSP?

I also want video conferencing software. If the PSP is going to succeed, these desires will need to be met, either through Sony or Hackers. The video conferencing will need to be compatible with Apple's state of the art iSight web camera.

well, i dunno bout that, but my psp makes me waffles in the morning.
