    This won't work for anyone that has upgraded their PSP to anything above 1.0 of the Firmware. A little detail that got left out of the article..

    Tell that to my 1.50 firmware. It loads linux just fine. At least, last time I checked, which was about 2 hours ago.

    But let me check again...

    *ahem* Excuse me. But in all seriousness, having BOCHS run on PSP is a good thing. Now only if we werent' running an x86 based emulator, so we didnt have to emulate all those CPU cycles...
