IRC On The PSP

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."

Re:Does PSP have USB?

[Yeldarb-7]

Yes and no. Yes, the PSP does have a USB port, but it is not usable by peripheral devices yet. So far, the PSP is only able to run as a device, no host support has been uncovered yet. The only way to enable power to the USB port is to do a "USB Connection," which essentially turns your PSP into a media card reader. The only thing you can do is transfer files to it from your computer. Hopefully a firmware update will enable OTG [On the Go] in the future so that we can use it as a host in the future.

Re:I would find this useful...

Since that was a fairly bad explanation, here is an image (I'm too lazy to finish it). That would be holding left and pressing square. Some combination of chars in each box could be like abcd, efgh, ijkl, mnop, qrst, uvwx, yz12, 3456, and 7890. You could have puncuation and other things with L1 and R1, but you know nobody uses puncuation on IRC anyway.
