Browse the web with PSP!

[Inky]

holy crap I seen this over at gamefaqs message board. someone try it! I don't have a wireless setup so I can't confirm. post results here

 

Someone found a way to browse online using Wiopeout Pure without having to set up your own webserver, make changes to firewalls, DHCP forwarding or any of that complicated crap.

 

Step by step it goes like this:

 

1. Goto Settings ---> Network Settings ---> Infrastructure Mode ---> New Connection (you want to make a new connection so you can still use your default connection for regulare game use).

 

2. Create a new connection and after you've set the SSID and WEP (if you use it) in Address Settings goto Custom --->Manual.

 

Now set an IP for your PSP (192.168.1.xxx where xxx can be any number between 001 and 255 works for me, your router may require a different IP number check you manual).Leave the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Set the Default Router to your router's IP address (I have a Linksys and mine 192.168.1.1, check your manual). Set the Primary DNS to 67.171.70.72 (this is what will let you get onling browsing). Set the secondary DNS to your router's IP.

3. Set Proxy Server as Do Not Use if you are not using one.

 

4. Confirm the setting list and Save the settings.

 

5. Put in Wipeout Pure and go to the Downloads section. When it asks what connection to use select the connection you just set up and viola, your online!

 

You can navigate the pages using the D-pad and select links with the X button. You can also enter text into text boxes by highlighting the box and pressing X. go back by pressing L

 

Now even though I have broadband loading some pages takes a while. It may not always be the fast but it does work!

Heh, I wonder what kind of "features" PSP has to offer that are still to be uncovered.

[Wizard]

Porn just gotten easier to get on the go.

[Z-Neo]

Heh, maybe we'll start seeing people do forum attacks through their PSPs.

[NeoMaster]

You think the PSP will be susceptable to viruses?

[Bluestinger X]

im sure if someone made a virus for the psp... but at the moment no. Its not like the psp is running a known os or anything.

One of many cool things to come out of toying with the current generation of handhelds, I'm sure. This is quite nifty.

I'm still waiting for someone to hack the PSP and make it a Pocket PC.

same here, but the PSP can do so much already, so i might just get it when i have the money, which is like never, cuz i don't have a job!!! and my parents don't give me any money cuz we're poor, das y i love emulation

[Inky]

I've heard rumors that sony may release a firmware update with a webbrowser, and pda functionality in the future.

[Thraxen]

Hmm... I'll try right now.

 

[edit]

It works!

 

Let me see if I can snap a picture. I'll see if I can get 1Emulation loaded up.

Niiiice.

[Thraxen]

OK... taking pictures of screens is a bit tricky, but I took a couple. The first picture is just a nice clean shot of the screen with 1Emulation loaded up:

 

Pic #1

 

For those that don't have a PSP, the green light on the left is the wireless activity indicator and the light on the right is the power indicator.

 

But that picture is dark so it's hard to see the PSP. So here is a second pic with some light on the PSP:

 

Pic #2

 

Unfortunately the picture came out a bit blurry, but you can clearly see the PSP.

Awesome, can you take a picture zoomed out so we can see the entire PSP and pic? The best place to go is in a bathroom where there is a lot of light and the light is white.

 

EDIT: I'm going to post this on the main page.

[Thraxen]

OK, the bathroom suggestion worked pretty good. The only problem is the PSP's screen is so dang shiny that you can see a bit of a reflection of the camera on the screen. I couldn't figure out how to prevent that. But here is the complete uncropped picture:

 

Pic #3

 

BTW, that logo in the upper left hand corner is the Wipeout logo. It stays up in the corner the whole time.
