PSP get Webrowser....unofficially
Its the strangest thing Ive ever seen, a web browser on a portable gaming machine. We all know that Sony has mentioned the possilbility of a serveral firmware updates to the PSP including a web browser. Some hackers have beat Sony to to the punch by finding a browser in Wipeout Pure (the UMD game). By altering the DNS settings on your PSP you somehow get you Wipeout Pure to act as a browser. Sure its rough around the edges, it has no cursor and requires you to carry Wipeout Pure with you all the timew its a nice hack until Sony gets their act together.
Here are the step to get the Wipeout Pure Browser to work (from Pascogames on the Playstaion forums)
1. Go to the Main Menu of your PSP.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Scroll down to Network Settings and Press the X button.
4. Select Infrastructure Mode.
5. Select New Connection.
6. Name the connection so that you know it is for web browsing. (ex. WebConnect)
That way you can use another connection for the rest of your online games.
7. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
8. Select the Scan option and let it pick up your WLAN settings.
9. Once it picks up a connect, Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
10. Select Custom for the Address Settings.
11. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
12. Leave IP Address Setting on Automatic.
13. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
14. Select Manual for your DNS Setting.
15. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
16. Enter in 67.171.70.72 as your Primary DNS and just leave the Secondary DNS blank.
17. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
18. Select "Do Not Use" for your Proxy Server settings.
19. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
20. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
21. Push the X button to save your settings.
22. Do a quick test of the connection to make sure it's working correctly.
23. Launch Wipeout Pure and go to the Download option in the main menu.
24. Select the name of the new connection you just made (ex. WebConnect), connect, and enjoy browsing the internet on your PSP.

Looks pretty sweet, can't wait till sony officially launch it, Id sooner take a PSP round with me for web browsing in WiFi Hotspots (eg Starbucks) than a full grown laptop.
No doubt someone will make a web based msn messenger client that works with the PSP browser at some point :)
Looks like im one of the first to comment on this blog, but I've been a reader for a long time, keep up with the good blog John :)
Hey Nimrod thanks a lot for the comment on the Blog. It was fun using Wipeout Pure as a web browser since I havent had that much time to play the game. Its worth the $39.99 investment just for a browser, Sonys web browser is right around the corner I bet Im kepping my fingers crossed for sure.
Hey John,
I was just directed to your blog. I forget how I found it, but it seems to be one of the best sources out here for psp information collected in one spot.
Please keep up the good work.
Thanks.
