PSP As Home Remote Control

Posted by Zonk on from the plays-games-too dept.

  1. Fun hacks but... by computertheque · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because we all need a $250 remote. The PSP is something that should never end up inbetween the couch cushions.

    People sure are hacking this thing for all it's worth.

    Webserver can run programs. News at ten.

    Yeah, great. The PSP has a web browser. What's the next PSP hack that slashdot will report on? Google have hacked the PSP so you can check you mail on GMail?

    Does this actually matter - it's main rival the DS can already have arbitrary code run on it and great leaps and bounds are being made into deciphering WiNi/NiFi every week. There is already a gcc and set of libraries for it and we can actually make games and have several active emulators.

    And the PSP has a web browser? Great... my phone five years ago had one of those.
