IRC On The PSP

Posted by timothy on from the limited-range dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Volksport has created a new script that allows PSP owners to access IRC from the PSP. The script requires the use of the Wipeout Pure Web browser hack in order to get the PSP online. Once that is done, all you have to do is access this Web page (as the script is server side), and you will be able to chat on the official PSPIRC project IRC channel. Users are currently limited to the PSPIRC chatroom. The script also features virtual PSP keyboard support."

      The scary thing is that I read most of that faster than your first sentence!

  2. A simple solution: by shigelojoe · · Score: 5, Funny

    To aid a large majority of IRC users, the following IRC shortcuts could be implemented:

    Circle = "lol"
    Triangle = "rofl"
    Square = "wtf"
    X = "stfu"
    L1 = "brb"
    R1 = /leave #pspirc

    Typing would then be accomplished by using the D-Pad and joystick to approximate the semaphore flag signalling system. The difficulty of typing in this setup could be rationalized by the fact that very few IRCers could not express themselves fully by using the six shortcuts listed above.

      And don't forget the combo:

      L1/R1 = "OMGLOLU2??!!"

    Yeah, good idea- PSP P2P!

    What's next? A webserver- PSP PHP?

    Well, if you could write a P2P client in PHP, then you would have PSP PHP P2P.

  6. Wipeout Pure Sales by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    So is there anyone actually buying Wipeout Pure because it might be a decent, fun, and exciting game or is the mass amount of money the developers of this game getting simply from excited kids who wanted to chat on IRC and browse the web while breaking their fingers attempting to type on this device?
