<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I can say that Sony has no plans
to open up the PSP to homebrew apps. On the PS2 and PS3, there is
Linux, which gives you close to full access to the box (although on the
PS3, the RSX is still locked out).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I am starting up a program for
North American universities to have access to full PSP dev kits. Once
the program is in place, I will let people know. The program is already
running in the UK (contact me if you want to know which universities are
currently participating).</font>

I just got my hands on a PSP and I was start thinking<br>
about the potential of this beatiful piece of HW for <br>
"serious" music making. In particular the porting of <br>
the PD engine on it, it would be<br>
fantastic. I'm in documentation phase ;-)<br>
Maybe starting from GGee PDA PD port and Cris McCormick<br>
PD for Gp2x could be an good point.. Anyone interested? <br>
<br>
As far as I know, at least for the PSP, <br>
Sony was always resistant in running unauthorized <br>
code (homebrew apps) on their HW by continuously<br>
releasing firmware updates that basically correct <br>
the bugs used for firmware downgrading. <br>
<br>
Mark, I know I should not ask it, but the temptation <br>
is so strong now that we know you are working for Sony ;-) :<br>
Do you think Sony attitude on this will change in <br>
the future? Can you say something about this? <br>
I can understand Sony <br>
is worried about game piracy but at the same time this <br>
is braking an incredible amount of good software <br>
development...<br>
<br>
