Homebrew code running on Japanese PSP


May 4, 2005 - 11:29 AM

There is a new application available that will allow Japanese PSPs that have not been flash updated to version 1.5 to run homebrew code. The application, elf2pbp, converts compiled Elf code into a PBP file that can be run by the PSP by placing it in the Memory Stick directory PSP/GAME. Unfortunately this program doesn't work at all with North American PSPs yet, but at least it opens the door for more programmers over here to see if they can't find a way to make it work on ours.

Comments

le bonce: Promising, promising. Now that people can get at least some code working in the /GAME directory, there must be some potential for getting emulation working.

Charles Starrett: Exactly - I can't begin to think how many nes games you could fit on even the 32mb Memory Stick...
