Default PSP web browser.... hack?

Apparently, some have been able to trick the psp into going onine using the website update thingy built into the wipeout game.

http://www.wombatmobile.com/blojsom/...b_browser.html

strange but alrighty.

thing that im happy about is that they're already finding ways to get around certain issues. every tiny step like this brings emulators that much closer

personally tho, i dont think im gunna worry about trying this, sonys going to release an official browser anyway. altho its really cool to see. heh

Nice to see the firmware for the browser will be free when Sony releases it, and won't be a cart taking up a game slot like will be the case for DS. Am I to assume the analog nub will control the cursor?

I would think so. be cool tho if they made like the shoulder buttons or something cycle thro each link on a website. so say you wanted hit the third link on the page, instead of trying to move a cursor, you could just press down down down x.

Nah, I been playing Untold Legends on the PSP and it uses a Mouse Cursor to navigate the Equipment and Level menus and the Analog nub is almost as good as a mouse. Smooth moving,

I wouldn't mind using the nub to move a mouse around.

i didnt say you couldnt. but im saying it would be nice to be able to cycle thro links. would be quicker.

and no, the nub isnt as good as a mouse, not even close. its very good on a handheld, not as good as an analog stick, and the mouse is in a totally differnet league.

Not really surprising. What piece of electronic equipment doesn't get hacked? As long as it's a hack that benefits the gamer, I have no problem.
