QJ.NET reader Alree has dropped us a note regarding the newly found homebrew application for the PlayStation Portable, PSPKVM. Basically, this is a K virtual machine that allows users to run games and applications created using the Java 2 Platform Micro Edition.

The latter is usually what companies use when releasing their products on mobile phones, PDAs, and set-top boxes. According to program owner, sleepper, PSPKVM supports API midp2.0 as well as a part of Nokia UI.

Currently, PSPKVM is on version 0.0.8 and here are the various changes that occurred since its initial release back in December 2007:
  • 2008-01-07 00:37 v0.0.8 fix some bugs that may cause some games can not be played. Please check the Gameloft games compatible list.
  • 2008-01-04 20:04 v0.0.7 fix the blank screen bug; add a new key "SELECT".
  • 2008-01-03 01:04 v0.0.6 user can select device by press Triangle now.
  • 2008-01-02 00:20 v0.0.5 fix some bugs.

  • 2007-12-31 00:14 v0.0.3 fix a crash bug and optimized.
  • 2007-12-23 01:48 v0.0.2 fix some bugs.
  • 2007-12-10 00:42 v0.0.1 the first release.
PSPKVM v0.0.08 comes with its own Readme.txt file containing various information regarding installation and usage. Be sure to go over the documentation first before doing anything to avoid any  problems.

» A really great app

I've been waiting for some way of playing mobile games on the PSP. I'm really surprised that this has only attracted limited attention though, looking at the number of comments posted. Let's hope 3D games are playable as well at some point (having said that, the PC emulators struggle with those).



And, yes, the first game I playing is God of War.
