Links2 Standalone Web Browser r1090

Posted May 4, 2006 at 11:21PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Applications, News, Wi-Fi Tags:

Links2

Links2 has now been released as a stand-alone application. Yep, you don't need to turn on PSPRadio and use Links2 as a plugin. The advantages of using this approach are big. You get more memory for Links2 since PSPRadio isn't running in the background. And Raf has tweaked it a bit. Here's a changelog:

SMB support is completely removed to free more memory.
Removed support for all languages except english to free more memory.
Removed japanese font to free more memory.
Use lite danzeff OSK now (no transparencies) to free memory.
Version reported includes the subversion revision now.

Plus, Raf has tweaked it so that Links2 is allocated more memory. This will decrease the number of crashes. But if you run out of memory, and Links2 tells you to press TRIANGLE, Press HOME instead and exit. Pressing triangle will cause it to crash."

It hasn't yet been tested under eLoader. If you'd like to have a go, please do. It might just be your lucky day. And thanks for the heads-up fool! Yeah, we actually have a member called fool in our forums!

# Congrats — Guest 2006-05-04 20:03

Congrats Raf. This is one amazing browser!

# GREAT!!! — Guest 2006-05-04 20:10

Thanks Raf!!!

This is what i've been waiting for all week!!

# ssl — Guest 2006-05-04 20:27

doest it have ssl ?

# Yus! — Guest 2006-05-04 20:46

This is absolutely brilliant. A proper browser on firmware 1.5, I can't believe it. Many thans to Raf. :)

# ohmygodiloveyou raf — Ninkul 2006-05-04 20:47

Damn, great work! A+ Job

# awesome — Guest 2006-05-04 21:21

Great work. I can only see this getting better, and it is already so good now! Awesome speed. (y) Great also that you managed to get so much memory available, that leaves room for more good stuff. Eventually it would be great if you could configure stuff so that you can for instance use a unicode font if you want to, and if you don't you switch that option off and it won't take up the memory.

# ghdh — Guest 2006-05-04 21:33

Really great! Hope it works on 2.6...

All it needs now is to add the japanese fonts back in...

# im using it now — Illegal Machine 2006-05-04 21:41

MUCH better!!!!!! lovin it!!!!

# zzz — Guest 2006-05-04 21:56

wheres the file to edit to put in the i.p?? the only c.fg say its generated etc??

# Tested — Guest 2006-05-04 22:01

RAF, you have done one "in your face" to sony's browser... LOL Is so fast and stable, also webs with lots of pictures (mwahahaha) are fully working.

GREAT!

# Chinese font? — Guest 2006-05-04 22:02

Good Job!

Is there someway to support chinese font?

THX~~

# Lo-Fi Version of the PSP Updates Forums — Guest 2006-05-04 22:13

This Browser needs a Lo-Fi Version of the PSP Updates Forums *hint* *hint* :)

# hi — Guest 2006-05-04 22:35

this is awesome i am so happy you are special

i almost cried for joy when i loaded up some porn

seriously tho , woo hoo

# amazing — Guest 2006-05-04 22:38

this is brilliant, im loving it. can anyone sign into hotmail with this.

# Why it's the best — Guest 2006-05-04 22:53

this browser is the best and here is y

Fastest PSP browser out right now (included firmware broswer)

Don't need as strong as a signal than other browser do

Good controls

Runs on 1.5 (other browsers do but this is the best one and the one that doesnt invovle any loading of prx's from other games)

One downside (i never tried the new version)

the memory problem when you dont have enough memory

if they can maybe they should have an option to use PSP's memory of your memory stick's memory

# like nothing else — lansingone 2006-05-04 23:10

il have to try it on my 2.0 before i downgrade and see if it works with eloader

# Just flash is missing — Guest 2006-05-04 23:27

Great browser, now all we need is flash support...

b.t.w. is javascript supported??

# Sweet.... — Guest 2006-05-04 23:49

seems to work faster, aload images faster...

but i seemto get a lot more "junk" on the screen that covers up other stuf (it goes away when i run the mouse voer it lke and eraser)...

and, no, not flash, what we need is music suport and animated gif(dunno, htose might work already) for ytmnd support!

# Wahay! — Psilocybeing 2006-05-05 00:04

Very nice, great job!

# hurray — Guest 2006-05-05 00:08

just typin this on my PSP the broser seems to work perfect with pics scaled to 60 but I miss the arrows on the right side it scrolls too fast withovt them

# 22 — Guest 2006-05-05 00:09

22 go port your own browser

# haha — Guest 2006-05-05 00:23

i'm not a good programmer at all...i couldn't do it. i was just saying, animated gifs and music would probably be alot easier than integrating flash (something that Sony themselves apprently can't do that well either).

# ??? How to choose connection — Guest 2006-05-05 00:25

Very nice work! But I cant get it to work, cause I dont know where I can choose which connection to use. Strange enough.

# Awesome — Guest 2006-05-05 00:44

Does it work on 1.5...... JK

# notitle — peeInMyPantz 2006-05-05 00:48

great browser...

didn't crash even though i turn on load images..

but i didn't dare to surf pspupdates though.. scared it'll crash like the previous one.. haha

# kewl — Guest 2006-05-05 00:56

this is awsome kuz now i can actually view images on it b4 it use to lock up with not enough memory

# notitle — peeInMyPantz 2006-05-05 01:01

tried on pspupdates..

no problem loading all the images.. yeah..

but it's weird..

i can't post anything here from my psp..

i can login.. and it goes back to the main page.. then i click on the comments link to post stuff.. it will just direct me back to the main page,.. and says that i'm not logged in.

# It officially does NOT work on a 2.6 — cooldocy795 2006-05-05 01:05

I tested it out on my 2.6 and it began to load. Then it said "Found suspicious hard path at 08A74E48

ms0:/PSP/GAME/__SCE__PSPRadio /

Press a button to continue"

So I press X, and then the screen says

"Link2 for PSP

-Loading networking module..."

It sits there for a minute, forzen, then shuts off. I'm guessing it's calling to kernel for the networking modules, since it was designed for a 1.5 PSP. Which sucks because the XMB browser blows.

# Very good — Guest 2006-05-05 01:22

Very good,

m.gmail.com not run, in future version it run?

# great job — Guest 2006-05-05 01:26

Thanks Raf this is one cool browser fyi this comment was made with it

# Thanks for making it standalone! — Guest 2006-05-05 01:27

Thanks!!!!! :)

# Good Job — Guest 2006-05-05 01:32

Finally a web browser for psp. Keep it updated:) That is what I was missing in my psp. The only problem is that some companies force users to login (proxy) and I cannot get it to work that way.. What I do is spoof my PC mac and then turn on PSP and it works like a charm:)

# Excellent! — Guest 2006-05-05 01:59

Excellent work Raf!

Finally a good standalone browser for 1.50 users :)

Without a doubt one of the finest pieces of homebrew... along with PSPRadio ofcourse ;)

Keep up the good work, we all appreciate it!

p.s. Short question... implementing SSL support, is it possible?

# yeah — peeInMyPantz 2006-05-05 02:36

finally managed to send msg from my psp

# Help plz — Guest 2006-05-05 02:49

# Memory increase? — Guest 2006-05-05 02:52

How much memory is avaliable now? The PSPRadio plugin had 8meg right?

# psp ? — Guest 2006-05-05 02:56

# CSS2 — Guest 2006-05-05 02:57

This is absolutely great!! But i would like it more if it can handel CSS better, i know this will kill the memory, but what is with swaping on the the memory stick?

greetz!

# memory --> memory stick? — Guest 2006-05-05 03:24

how hard would it be to have this browser(or any for that instance) use the memory stick to fix the memory problem?

# Problems launching — Guest 2006-05-05 04:46

I'm running FW1.5 with 4gb HDD and I get an error messege every time I try to load. Has anyone successfully launched this from the Datel HDD? If so what did you need to do?

# router speed? — Guest 2006-05-05 04:47

I have a 54mbps router and still getting choppy video. To those with full speed video: do you have a 108mbps connection?

# This is awesome! — Guest 2006-05-05 06:14

I have a question though. How do you choose you connection? Does it just always use connection 1?

# ?!?!? — Guest 2006-05-05 06:50

# ok i know now — alucard_xs 2006-05-05 08:18

# SOME HELP FOR THE "ERROR" — Guest 2006-05-05 09:13

Hi, I haw the same problem ("error") as many of you, and I couldn't connect to the net, so I tried by deleting all my network configs and making another one. One it works great.

It look like for some kind of strange reason it sometimes doesn't recognice the existent network configurations.

I hope it this can help some of you guys.

PD: GREAT PROGRAN, KEEP IT UP.

# Sweet!!!!!! — .A.J. 2006-05-05 09:39

Thanks man. This is a really great new addition to both of my 1.5 FW P$P's. And yes, I'm typing this on a P$P.

# EXCELLENT!!! — Guest 2006-05-05 10:07

WOW!!!! im hoping for this to support tsl/ssl soon!! haha

# .. — Guest 2006-05-05 10:26

links2 is super fast but when i try to go to certain websites like facebook it wont load. it will just stay on ok

# pspfan 2006-05-05 12:56

51,

No you can't save to a specific folder, but you can just open up file assistant and move it to the folder you want it in.

Such a great browser and it just got better with the memory greatly increased!!

# retard alert — Guest 2006-05-05 13:31

Who are the retards who are saying "let's use the mem. stick memory insted of the psp memory"

They are not the same kind of memory

the memory that links 2 refers to is like ram

the memory stick is like a hard gre(although it is flash)

# Good Job! — Guest 2006-05-05 14:53

OMG! Thank you very much for this homebrew! I personally use Links2 almost everyday on my linux box! I'm very excited to see this one on my psp!

# nice job — Guest 2006-05-05 16:25

gj raf no ssl though

# help — Guest 2006-05-05 16:53

where should i save this file to ? my memory stick ? which folder ? how to use this application ? sorry i am a newbie that just buy psp today ... mine is version 1.5

# hells yeah — Guest 2006-05-05 18:30

This is the BOMB!!! I heard if you back uo your 2.00 BROWSER files; before you downgrade to 1.5 than you could simply reinstall them after. BUT...I heard this AFTER i downgraded and the PSP seems to be rendered incapable of being upgraded again. This is an answer to my prayers ! THANK YOU wonderful hackers for all your hard work. You ppl are hero's to many across the world!!!! ***if you can't seem to connect then go to the PSP's main menu screen; go to NETWORK CONFIGURATION and scan to pick up your wireless signal ; then SAVE. Relaunch the browser and bada-bing!!! This is so f***ing great YESSSS!!!!!!!

# typing this on my psp... — Guest 2006-05-05 19:07

tthis is some really nice homebrew, keep the updates coming!!!

# hey — Guest 2006-05-05 19:10

WELL you could use the MS for temporary storage, like a CACHE or page file windows uses. That would probably help go around some of the limitations, but PSP ram is still a complete peice of *****.

Would have been PRETTY damn slick if MSN messenger would work through wifi on a 1.5

# Help to all those having trouble connecting — Guest 2006-05-05 21:39

To all of you out there getting the error message...

The problem is that this program as PSPradio does... have trouble with some connections list created by the firmware.

So the easiest thing to do is to restart your PSP configs before using the browser.

To do this go to System Settings>Restore Default Settings

Then after you introduced all your configs again. Set up a new infrastructure connection and try the prog again.

Yes this restarts all your personal configs... but hey! after this the program works like a charm!

AVMexican from Mexico to the world!

# Forgot to say tnks — Guest 2006-05-05 22:03

Forgot to thank for this amazing port!!!!

Its and awesome release!!!!

And waaaaaayyyy faster than the 2.0 browser... dont know about the 2.7...tooooo coward to update

If there was something tempting about upgrading it was the browser... but with this one!!! Theres nothing a 1.5 user can ask from any other firmware!!!!

Sorry SONY... better luck next firmware!

AVMexican...

# Thank You — Guest 2006-05-06 01:50

Thank you for this great work :)

Seems much more stable than the old version inside pspradio
