 Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:48 am Post subject: PSP for non-game use |
 |
|
Background:
- I have just been assigned the task of learning about the PSP for a specefic non-game application.
- I've done embedded hardware & software/firmware design in past but never PSP or such.
My first questions:
1 - Have others used the PSP for applications other than games?
2 - Where can I find examples of such use?
3 - Are there other forums dedicated to PSP development I should also become a member of?
4 - What are some common problems developers run into when attempting to use the PSP platform for other applications?
5 - Does Sony encourage or discourage such use?
6 - Do they have a program/outreach to work with developers?
7 - Where can I find a block diagram or schematic of the PSP?
I'm sure I will have more questions as I read and learn. Thanks to anyone for any assistnce that may reduce me reading zillions of web pages as I try to learn. |

1. Ofcourse, there are media players, ebook readers, office applications, ...
2. Look around, i recommend psp-homebrew.eu and qj.net
3. Yes, i like psp-programming.com
4. I hate moving the files onto the psp over and over again
5. Seeing that sony always changes stuff to make the firmware more secure i would say they hate us - but i hate them too so i dont care :)
6. No... Sad - innit?
7. I doubt there is any |

I even use it! But its still annoying when my app (to be more specific: wlan/adhoc module) crashes cause the whole psp to get stuck, then PSPLink wont help at all and i have to reboot which takes atleast 20 seconds... |
