hey… the PSP has a serial port built in… you know where the headphone control plugs in? (the 6 pin slot beside the headphone jack)… I’ve seen (somewhere) instructions to build the interface to an RS-232 plug. something about low signal levels that need to be boosted to be compatible with a PC serial..

= I think that is a USB to serial adapter not serial to USB.. I have something like that for a palm I use for palmorb.

Not only does the PSP keyboard not do anything, the DS keyboard was done awhile ago, before the PSP one.

awdark, tfa links to the page for this USB to serial device: http://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0391/

After all, usb is just a universial _serial_ bus.

I dont understand how that would work. That seems to be a Serial interface and they can manage to get it to work as a USB host?! I am confused.

what we really need is a memory stick web browser for the psp. i could just as easily download the whipout pure iso but that requires a gig memory stick and i just don’t have the cash.

http://www.dslinux.org is working on getting Linux on the DS and they are doing a damn fine job.

But you people have to remember, some DS owners are sao dissapointed by the system that we will not be afraid to open it up and do some soldering.

And don’t forget the Play-Yan which is a Gameboy advanced card with an SD slot built in, allowing the Gameboy Micro to play Mp3′s and videos. A little Google could tell you more about that.
