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.

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.

11. Push the Right Direction Key to go to the next menu.
12. Leave IP Address Setting on Automatic.
