    Don't upgrade to 2.0 and lose your ability to play homebrew/backups!

      As one of the authors of ScummVM-PSP, I can tell you this much; I'm totally annoyed by Sony's insistance to try and shut down homebrew stuff on the PSP by introducing *fixes* in their firmware updates.

      I would love to install the browser, but sorry Sony, I'd like to keep developing HB stuff for the community :( (note that my stuff is developed using the "legal" open source SDK)

    Secrets Of The PSP Web Browser

    There may be many questions, and please just post comments if you want some good answers.

    None of the Examples below will apply to trying this on a PC, they apply to the PSP browser.

    First, we need to use this in our examples, so lets get that out of the way.

    On your PSP enter the following web site:

    http://testing.onlytherightanswers.com/pspkey2.htm

    Now wait for this to load and when finished continue.

    Many people do not understand how the PSP browser windows function, in fact, many people constantly re-load pages that are already in the browser memory, we will show you how to see if a page is in browser memory or not and many other things in this thread.

    Using the Virtual keyboard type the word "browser" without the quotes and then click on the Google button.

    This may or may not prompt you asking if you wish to open a new page, you will get prompted ONLY if you have other pages already taking up all your browsers tabs ("windows") you then would have a choice of using one of the currently open brower tabs ("windows") to open your new page.

    If you had a unused browser tab ("window") you would not be prompted and the page would simply open.

    If prompted pick one of your currently open tabs ("windows")

    Now, you will notice that the Google search page is being currently displayed, and that the Virtual Keyboard and Browser seems gone at the moment.

    This is Not true, Simply hold down your SQUARE key and use your left or right clear plastic key while still holding down your SQUARE key. You will see the Virtual Keyboard and Browser, if you do it again, you will see the Google page.

    What's Happening?

    Holding down the SQUARE key and using the clear plastic Keys allows you to Change tabs ("windows") so that you can have multiple windows open at the same time.

    Now lets try something else. Again, Holding down the SQUARE key and using one of your clear plastic keys on the top of the PSP display the Virtual Keyboard and Browser.

    On the Virtual Keyboard and Browser keyboard, click the clear button, the text that was there the word "browser" should be gone now.

    Enter using the Virtual Keyboard and Browser http://msn.com/ without the quotes ("Note: There are quick buttons that will type the http:/// and the .com on the Virtual Keyboard and Browser so that you do not need to type this all.

    Click the GO! button. You may or may not be prompted to open a new page, if you are and are given a list do NOT replace the Virtual Keyboard and Browser or the Google tab ("window") choose any other.

    Now you will see MSN.com, But, both the Google Search and the Virtual Keyboard and Browser tabs are still there.

    How do I get back to then?

    Simple, do the same thing, hold down the SQUARE key and then use one of the clear plastic keys to get back to the Google search page or the Virtual Keyboard and browser page.

    How do I REMOVE a tab ("window") from my browser memory?

    OK, Use the SQUARE key and one of the clear plastic keys to get to the Google search page.

    Once the Google search page is displayed click your TRIANGLE button, this will invoke the PSP Browser Toolbars. Using The TRIANGLE button again will close the PSP browser toolbars.

    The Toolbar on top displays the web site address and the title of that web page.

    The Toolbar on the bottom allows you to do many things, we will explore them all.

    Once you have clicked your TRIANGLE key and have the PSP Browser toolbars displaying with the Google search page displaying as well, use your left arrow to go all the way to the left you will see the word "File" displayed.

    Now, click on the File Icon, and you will see a menu, choose "Close Page", you will see that the top PSP Browser toolbar is now empty and that the page is BLANK.
