Why is it not possible to write an entirely new fw or OS for the PSP? I saw the pics (sadly I can't find them, but I think they are available in the forum..) of a PSP with a weird bootup, indicating a new fw. though that never came to lite and I never heard a word about it afterwords...

My question is that by now, every component of the psp has been identified and can be hacked. Wee find the loopholes in the fw to allow mods and hacks. So lets say the original SCE FW is Windows, all the DAX and GEN and other releases are like the Black releases, the Tiny releases, in terms of Windows... I hope you follow...

If that is done, then why can't wee develop an entirely different fw or an OS for the PSP? What is the reason behind lack of this mother of all mods? Say something like Linux for the PCs etc... having a new fw, (in actual terms Custom fw, not just modified fw) that enables the users to have a entirely different experience..

lack of RAM, if that is the reason you state, can't justify it as if SCE can do it, so can others! Surely a fw can be developd that uses the resources more efficiently.. PSP has been around for over 4 years now (right?) then has anyone attempted this? if yes, why hasn't it been developed? If no, then why not"?

Because it takes something to make something?

wow O_O me can't wait till UTOPIA is released! :D

Its a shame that DotOS wasn't released or even finished :P

its from DA's site so i guess utopia is for real! that would be nice!:

You can...but it would be difficult...
You have to first rewrite the system coding that tells the thing what it is and what its input devices are...
tell it, it has buttons and how to check when they are pressed. tell it where the screen is and how to display things properly. then you would have to build a programing language into it so it could actually do something and then from there you would build apps for it



If I were going to do anything I would just mod sony's existing firmware to a point where it is like a pocket pc...

you could always just install pocket pc or windows but I don't believe there are umd reader drivers for windows...and even if there were there is no actual way of playing the game on the console...and from that point it is technically not even a psp anymore its just a pocket pc in a psp shell

apperently utopia is/was time machine as quoted

nope, check the post date

Math's confirmation was last tuesday, long time since time machine was released

he states the it will be public shortly, so I guess snytime between 1 daqy to 6 months!
