youresam and realn0whereman from our forums have released a really nifty utility. It allows you to track your PSP online. What it basically does is email to a specified address every time it is connected to a PC. The keyword is *every time*. So even if you're connecting your PSP, it will still send the mail. Nothing to worry though, it can be very useful if your PSP is stolen. |

Very very clever idea. The only problem I see is that if the person takes the memory stick out of the psp. Will it work if those files are on my mem stick duo but its being read by a regular card reader?

» Sounds interesting
I don't know how useful it actually is, but I want to get it just to test it, and play around with it. Might be fun, next time my friend asks me to put music on his system if I also add this....heheheh...

» the way it works
the way it works is that anytime the memory is connected to a computer so it wont matter if its a psp or memory card read. Either way it will launch the index.html which goes to the guys website and sends the email.

» Worked for me
I downloaded this, put it on my mem stick and then took my mem stick out of my card reader. When I reinserted the stick, i checked my email. Nothing happened. But sure enough, a few minutes later i got an email from "Nobody" with the subject saying "I stole your psp" lol. The funny part was when I used an IP locator on my IP adress. I tried two different IP locators and both of them said my IP was from some street in georgia.(even gave an exact address.) Funny cuz I live in Florida.

» only problem is...
what if they remove the mem stick? or format it. I stole a mem stick form a kid and formatted it before I even connected it to the computer, most liekley, this is what anyone will do. So I dont think this will always work, but its pretty cool

» It work now
It started working for some reason. But that thing should work with any mass storage device, like my ipod. This is a great idea.

» nice harvesting
in case you haven't noticed, the meta refresh points to someone else's website, utilising a php script to send you an email..
This reeks like harvesting to me (paranoia mode), besides, when someone changes the memorystick, or just formats it.... you're still toast.

» Keep pimptastic homebrew on it.
they won't format it if you have pimp homebrew left on it. Can't you also set that html as your homepage so when people try to use the browser it will send it as well? I don't have a 2.00+ PSP, I know you can do this in Links 2 though.

» nice idea, will never work
Even if you have you ip address dont expect any isp's to hand out any address or contact information for said person! All i see this doing is annoying the victim further by letting them know each time the psp is used!

» cool, but..
the odds of any law enforcement agency actually acting on this are slim. look how much trouble the record and software industries went through getting customer details from isps.

» This is Spam
If your Psp gets stolen, not only will you have to cope with the loss but your Psp will also spam you every now and then when ever the theif uses it online. Each time you will be reminded of your loss and knowing that someone else is enjoying it when you receive the email spam. What will happen with this is advertising people will start using it to spam you adverts instead.
This homebrew is the future of Psp AD spam!!

» Looks very useful
even if your psp isnt stolen you can put it on any storage device like Fat_Mike said. So this is pretty useful in some cases.

» No hassle if you know a cop...or better yet are one!
I love this piece of homebrew! I run an ebusiness and keep my psp w/ me all the time for web access. And since I AM a cop, obtaining a warrant for an ip address in the event of a theft would be no harder than brushing my teeth! My advice ...in the event of theft find a sympathetic psp toting cop!

» One more thing
you need to make it so the if the person gets on the internet it will send the email. It will only send the email if the person opens the index file. You could make your homepage on your psp the index file by typeing file:/index.htm that way if they do get on the internet the first time it will track them. Try that out.
