PSP Web Browsing Works!
Using Wipeout Pure, a custom DNS FreeBSD local server and some hacking tricks a couple of people have been able to browse the web using their PSPs. Wipeout Pure includes an in-game link to a Sony download page that for now only states it is “Coming Soon”, this sparked an idea from some people such as roto/mozy to find out just what was the page the PSP was accessing. After “sniffing” around they were able to find out just what link the PSP was accessing and set their local server running FreeBSD to redirect the PSP to their local file via custom DNS mapping. The result is being able to make a local file with some links to various pages of their choice. Not only are they able to surf the web using links, but also dialog box input via the PSP’s Keyboard API. The website set up for information just has information they have gathered and promises a guide to be made available soon.
The site is down right now, but here’s a mirror for now.

The PSP isn’t really hacked, they’re just having it go to a different website then the wipeout pure update one. And through this showing that the wipeout updater is a working web browser.

Well if it isnt “hacking” per se - it is still manipulation. I think that they will be able to manipulate it enough to create some viruses.
