PSP homebrew: Netfront Internet Browser (beta)

If you're one to heavily use your PSP's browser, you must have come across certain limitations. This homebrew browser mod allows you to curtail that restriction. Netfront Internet Browser from Team P86 (the same guys who did PMP VLC Player) allows you to use a huge chunk of your PSP's memory to have an easier time browsing.

Says coder Ardatan:
  • You know, Sony limits our memory in Internet Browser. So we cannot play big flash games and open big web sites.
  • This mod removes this limitation. And you can use all of the memory that your PSP has.
  • If your PSP is Fat, the HighMemMod uses all of 32 MB RAM.
  • If your PSP is Slim, the HighMemMod uses all of 64 MB RAM!!!
Note that this app is still in beta so there are limitations and maybe some bugs here and there. For now, you can try it out, check out how it works, if there's going to be any difference in page loading. If you got any feedback, suggestions, and/or questions, head over to the forums through the link below.

I want to know if this gets rid of the "out of memory" message on almost every website.

Try Qj! Normally there would be a "out of memory" message - but - nope!

I just use Opera since I hate the speed of the default browser. Also dax made a modified netfront browser as well with like 12mb ram and that works well in irshell.

awesome! i use opera mini as a complement to the netfront browser, as neither is perfect. this is another great tool to add to the psp's web browsing capabilites.

tried it out for about 20 mins and it does allow you to open bigger sites, and also is absolutely perfect for portals, and so far i havent noticed any bugs

i would love to see a future release of this as a file i could flash directly to my psp to replace the original netfront browser completely and run from the original browser's spot in the xmb

This is a really great app for the PSP, and you can rest assured I'll be using it a lot come future more stable versions. That said, I have got a suggestion.

When expanding the ram the browser uses, you may want to leave a few megs for the general PSP useage. When I loaded some pages on my slime I found the cursor and controls to become very laggy due to lack of resources.

Just something to consider...

Extremely useful anyhow. Thanks for the great browser!
