PSPRadio Pre-Release With Links2 Browser!

Links2

Raf, the author of one of the greatest PSP homebrew PSPRadio, has just given out another pre-release of PSPRadio. But there's more this time. He has just ported Links2 to the PSP!

First, I'll just give some details about PSPRadio itself. PSPRadio is an internet radio streaming client for the PSP. You can listen to shoutcast music on your PSP. It streams the music to your PSP from online radios, so there's so much music to choose from! There don't seem to be any changes from the older version of PSPRadio.

Now with PSPRadio out of the way, let me introduce you to Links2. It's is an open-source browser, originally made for Linux. It's always been one of the favorites for hardcore Linux users. And it has been ported to almost every architecture available out there. So it's about time it was ported to our favorite handheld. And guess what ? It's a fully featured browser which can be used on your PSP 1.5. It's bundled as a plugin along with PSPRadio.

A few minutes of usage reveals that it's quite a capable and nimble browser. You can download right to the Memory Stick. You can even view most of the sites since it supports Javascript too. And yes, you can check out PSPUpdates with it! There are a few niggles here and there, but that will most probably be sorted out in one of the upcoming releases.

For now, have fun with PSPRadio and Links2. All of our forum members are excited too. Here are a bunch of screenshots which Raf has taken just for demonstration. And yes, that's PSPUpdates being viewed in Links2. Thanks Raf!

***** and chick, get f#@^ed, this cannot brick your psp, dont belive her/sheman.

now onto wat i wanna say, im pissed now, i had a perfectly good 1.5 but i beat every iso, so i updated to 2.7 because we have wirless net, and i thought flash would be cool, and 5 days after i update theres a english browser out for 1.5.... this makes my day

# NICE — Guest 2006-04-28 15:56

WOAH this is the stuff I want. And to think, I was going to update yesterday, but cancelled it!! YES!!

# lmfao... — CertifieDorK 2006-04-28 15:57

lmfao, you should've never've upgraded past 2.0

# ISO's — CertifieDorK 2006-04-28 15:59

We dont talk about ISO's here.. for the simple fact that their ILLEGAL

# Wow..... — windbreaker13579 2006-04-28 16:00

this is a pretty amazing program.... except the memory runs out fast......

# COOL! — Guest 2006-04-28 16:01

Thank You so much!!!

# memory problems — SupaDawg 2006-04-28 16:04

It runs out of memory due to the fact he could only allow it use of 8mb of system memory. He explained it in his forums. He needs to find a way to have it cache to your memory stick.

# 2.7 — dubuque 2006-04-28 16:05

does this mean that pspradio will work on 2.7 through the browser

# 24 — pavey 2006-04-28 16:06

#24 no i wont work, coz sony doesnt like us

# cool — peeInMyPantz 2006-04-28 16:08

cool.. finally a proper browser

wouldn't it be better to make it a standalone than a plugin?

Maybe that will reduce the memory issue...

When i try to start link2 in pspradio-3dtextmode.. i got memory problem and it gave me an error screen..

But no problem starting it in pspradio-textmode..

# 2.60 — Guest 2006-04-28 16:13

Does the browser work with 2.60? The brower built into the PSP is just crappy.

# Simply.... — RaiderX 2006-04-28 16:15

AMAZING!!!!

Im sorry there have to be such idiots in these comments, but there are peopel liek me who appreciate this awesome port and the work spent makign thsi possible for the PSP!! THANKS FOR THIS SO MUCH!!!!

# Awesome Browser Especially for a first release — Guest 2006-04-28 16:20

This is pretty good. I love his radio brew and now this browser makes him my favourite brewer of all time.

Also, can't the guy who keeps posting **** get banned? My friend flamed on a comment board once cause he disagreed with something and he got banned almost immediately.

# woohoo! — overflow.tiff 2006-04-28 16:20

all the more reason for me to get a second PSP this summer!!

YAY

# - — Pranav T 2006-04-28 16:28

The first 3 posts were from the same IP address. The address in question has been IP Banned.

Keep the comments relevant. No Racism and Flaming Please.

# Yea — Guest 2006-04-28 16:33

wow this thing has been up in the forums for a good 30 min now and NOW you deside to report it?

also note that in order to see the pspu frontpage, disable images, for now thats the best way to do it.

# ss — Guest 2006-04-28 16:34

Does it work on 2.6 or not?

# . — Guest 2006-04-28 16:39

#38, why don't you find out yourself?

# wowzaa — Fr0sTy 2006-04-28 16:41

wow... pspradio keeps getting better.... finally... a web browser that's better than the wipeout pure and fired up browser.... well... in my opinion... when's the next stable release?

# me again — Guest 2006-04-28 16:51

If this works with eloader, that will make my day.

# 41 — pavey 2006-04-28 16:51

omg 41 isent that guy again is it?

# - — Pranav T 2006-04-28 16:55

Most probably not.

I'm still deleting the post.

# youresam 2006-04-28 16:58

Awesome!!

The only problem I have is the browser runs out of memory very quickly. Other than that, good job!!!!

# BUGGY — Guest 2006-04-28 16:59

Wow the damn thing has crashed on me twice already.....

# Whoah — §åggåR 2006-04-28 17:00

This amazes me. What will happen next, pspradio is damn near perfect, perfect the browser, add some shyt like perhap a desktop like shell, notepad, and periphals like that, u have yourself a new psp OS!!!! MAn, i just wish the big guys up at sony wouldnt shut down homebrew, but you also should condsider with all the iuso loading and emulators there is ALOT of copyright infringement out there, adn who will be blamed? SONY.

# Lucky 1.5 — PopcOrn DeVil 2006-04-28 17:01

They now have everything :(.

# Jake D. 2006-04-28 17:03

#37 aparrently can't grasp the idea that it takes a bit of time to write up an format an article, not to mention upload a file to be downloaded.

30 minutes? Chill. Out. Or rely on some other site and you can download this tomorrow.

# 46 — pavey 2006-04-28 17:04

46 coz its running out of memory

# WOW! — Anthony Tran 2006-04-28 17:06

AWESOME!!!! nice nice nice

# Nice. — cooldocy795 2006-04-28 17:06

It's basically a beta, so it probably will crash.

I'm suprised they didn't give any thanks for Danzeff in the comments. I'm sure it's in the readme though. That neat little OSK has been used it two programs now. It's a nice piece of software. It would be nice if they could Flash mod Danzeff into the 2.0 web browser.

By the way, it isn't compatible with 2.01+ because it is a plugin for the dynamic version of PSPRadio. The dynamic version isn't compatible with the higher firmware versions as of yet.

# Wow!NICE — Guest 2006-04-28 17:08

Not bad for a beta!

# Error messages — Guest 2006-04-28 17:24

this is tight and all but I cant even get it to load any pages, the error messages just pop up evertime i try to do anything. Its not even an memory issue

# WOWZERS!!!!!! — soopergooman 2006-04-28 17:35

As always Raf and the CREW at PSP Radio amaze the homebrew crowd with such wonders. PSPRadio is the safest Homebrew ever developed 1MO.

Jump it up for the Crew!!!

Jump it up to a Million!!!

# wow — bhast2 2006-04-28 17:42

this is the best browers for the psp yet keep up the great work

# THANK YOU — Guest 2006-04-28 17:42

I have always been a huge fan of PSPRadio and now this... Thank you a million times! The other browser solutions suck for 1.5 and I just tried this out and am very pleased. Keep up the good work, you are much appreciated!

AWESOME!

# Where Is it — Guest 2006-04-28 17:48

I have used PSP radio b4 and I have this new version working on my psp... But I cant find the Links2 plugin. Can someone explain here or in the posted forum link

# AMAZING — Guest 2006-04-28 17:51

all i have to say is amazing great job guys

# Great! — Guest 2006-04-28 18:05

This is a GREAT release! Not only is the browser faster, and easier to use than the official Sony browser, it's included in with the best homebew in existence.

# Amazing — Guest 2006-04-28 18:10

Wow....this is incredible. What an amazing job! And who saw this coming?! Keep up the excellent work!

# To Number57 — Guest 2006-04-28 18:37

Movies & Shows, Games, Music, WWW, what more do you want it to do?!?!

suck u off!?

Number 34 buy your second one, nothing will happen to your nuts.

about Links2 - 8 out of 10, b/c memory issuse. I'm stuck w/ fired up's browser for a lil while longer...

# @57 — Guest 2006-04-28 18:38

Sony doesn't profit selling psp's. It's the games that profit. How else do you expect to play all homebrew AND 2.7+ games?

# All I can say is — Illegal Machine 2006-04-28 18:38

WOW

Talk about incredible

Can't wait for future updates on this. TOTALLY awesome work

# Huh? — Guest 2006-04-28 18:55

Y does it have pics about the update if it doesn't work with the new update?!?

# Nice but to square — Guest 2006-04-28 19:06

Tried it out worked perfectly. Should change the skin outlook. Common its really not that hard. Give it a PSIX type look. Don't worry juste teasing you. Good job. Nicest post in a while

# . — Guest 2006-04-28 19:22

GREAT!!! Better than fired up or wipeout pure, and no need to upgrade!!!

毛主席万岁！！！

# 74 — Guest 2006-04-28 20:39

because there trying to say that it can view websites that happens to be the pspupdates 2.7 artice... funny enough those pics arent even from the internet, there from the memory stick notice the file:///ms0 in the filename

# 77 — pavey 2006-04-28 20:56

#77 lol yeh i saw that 2

# .. — cory1492 2006-04-28 20:57

77 - if you havent ever noticed, your PC web browser has to download a webpage to your PC and all its supported resources before or while it is rendering it. Just because your browser has a url on the top line doesnt mean the file you are looking at is on a remote machine - I think they call it "local cache"

# HEAR THIS!!! — Guest 2006-04-28 21:06

just to bring to your attention... i stumbled on a web page where there was some mention of a bill being passed which will ban internet radio or atleast restrict it to DMCA standards... plz google it and follow through. Talk and spread the word... don;t let this happen!

Besides maybe its jst me missing something but the number of categories of radio stations in this build is very low than before. I remember a month ago when I first discovered PsPRadio I was listening to some right wing hate monger... but anyways... am i missing something?

About the Bill...Talk to your representative abt it!

-Lurker

# @81 — Llanowyn 2006-04-28 21:24

www.savetheinternet.com (?) Is that what you're looking for?

For some reason, this version of PSPRadio doesn't recognize my wifi connection. the name of it comes up as a bunch of symbols, the actual name of it is ' Painter '. I'm sure it will be amazing once I figure out how to get it to see my wap.

And thank you so much for the browser. I love you.

# thumbs up — Guest 2006-04-28 23:24

Never posted before, but this time I had to:) This is indeed a great piece of homebrew! Have you guys tried to listen to a radio and browse the web at the same time? Because now you can! It would be even cooler if you could open mp3 streams on the web page of the radiostation in the browser too. Do I want too much?:) Oh no, I'm absolutely satisfied and grateful! The 1.5 community really needed this thing. Thank you and keep rocking! Can't wait for the next release!

# Haha everybody that upgraded above 2.0 is screwed! :P — Guest 2006-04-28 23:31

Haha everybody that upgraded above 2.0 is screwed!

I am glad I still have 1.5!

This is great news and will try it out soon!

Raf, just think of the fact how many people you now already have made so happy (also with the PSPRadio!) GREAT WORK!

# Help plz — Guest 2006-04-29 00:34

Hi I'm new with this PSPradio thing, how do u use the browser? I have the program on my psp and everything just don't know how to use the browser.

# SCE — Guest 2006-04-29 00:38

nice to see devs starting to use my favoritenaming convention :) well done on this.

# Ho to start... — Guest 2006-04-29 01:25

In PSP Radio press Start to go to the options menu. There you must choose "Plugins Menu" and then und Applications choose "Links2". After start of "links2" read the PSP Port Tips for further instructions. To exit press Square to enter the Menu of Links to and choos File / Exit and press circle...

# ha ha ha — Guest 2006-04-29 02:42

2 every 2.0 and above user who used to laugh at me while browsing the internet ha ha i can do it to and listen 2 radio wooowww hooooooooo

KEEP IT UP PLZZZZZZZZ

# ooh noes! i got owned! — Guest 2006-04-29 02:57

damn i never should have upgraded my 1.50 to 2.70 when it came out :(

I was tricked into a crappy outdated flash by $ony :(

DAMN, sumone PLEASE make a 2.70 downgrader! pleeeeeeaase!

k thnx

bye

# cool — Guest 2006-04-29 03:10

this is really cool but i used drak killers PsafeP and it sayed this file use flash access that is the only thing that scares me alittle because what is something goes wrong to the flash u are screwed

# Wow... — Guest 2006-04-29 04:08

This takes the greatest homebrew ever created and elevates it to a whole new level! Holy 5hit man. Now downloading files, listening to DI.fm and rsurfing the web in a TOLERABLE font and with more reliability and AMAZING text entry is now possible on a 1.5 for the first time!!!

Thank you so much. Raf = God.

# #90 — PSPHax0r9 2006-04-29 04:09

#90.....just....no. This has 0% possibility of bricking your PSP and it doesn't access the flash. PsafeP is crap. Just usse your common sense....

# graphical mode — Guest 2006-04-29 04:16

links2 -g would be cool, pspfb anyone?

# Excellent — Guest 2006-04-29 05:03

Note that the Links2 plugin is buggy. There seems to be problems with memory and you will get a red screen after a few pages browsing. Once this is fixed it will be excellent.

As with Rafs early PSPradio pre-releases which were buggy..they got better and better and now work superbly. I remember when PSPradio would lose my stream every few minutes. Thankfully this problem is long gone.

Now..if only i can surf the net with Links2 and PSPradio streaming in the background without it giving me that damned red screen!!!

Stop going off-topic...

*goes back on topic*

Why are the screenshots all offline? o_O

But I wish I can test it, I don't have a decent router/USB wireless dongle that can support PSP and use xlink kai.

# how use it — Guest 2006-04-29 05:22

Whr in pspradio u use link2 i was looking for but cant fnd (maybe too lazy) but my psp is on charge atm so if someone can tell me whr ill be happy Thx u:)

# ~96~ — Guest 2006-04-29 05:32

Kano, you have to go to the plugins menu and select Link2.

Anyway, I really hope they release this as a standalone browser. It's the best 1.5 browser out there, and if it was standalone, there would probably be more memory that coud be allocated. I don't know, but I just don't like having to open up PSPradio and go to the link2 browser.

# How-To — Guest 2006-04-29 05:33

After loading up PSPRadio press start. Once the options menu has shown up go down to the menu item called "Plugins Menu" it is the third from the bottom. Then you will see a menu of tree items, scroll down to the bottom and press D-pad right three times and press X. Oh, and don't forget to connect to a wireless connection first.

# Guest 2006-04-29 05:43

they should port something like mozilla rather

# I'll use it — Max1130 2006-04-29 06:18

it has more then 2 megs eam available to it already blows the hell out of the psp browser I'm downgrading form 2.0 because of this.

# Wow and Thank you. — ++good 2006-04-29 06:24

Everyday i'm so glad my PSP becomes closer and closer to becoming the only device i'll carry with me. Thank you so much for this amazing progam, and congrats on an incredible job.

Well Done Sir.

Very Grateful,

++good.

# Absolutely perfect. — FreePlay 2006-04-29 06:25

I've wondered for a while why this hadn't been done already. Excellent work, Raf and crew, and special thanks to Danzel for releasing the Danzeff source and making it *much* easier to input text. I think this is FAR superior to the 2.xx browser. And no, kids, it won't work on 2.xx, because this is in the dynamic version of PSPRadio, and 2.xx can only use the static version!

# type how do you do it? — Guest 2006-04-29 06:38

HOW do you type?!

# The door has been opened — Guest 2006-04-29 07:13

Just in this first release, you can already see the potential. This browser is already much easier to use than the $ony browser.

Just think of what PSP-Radio was like when it first came out, and think of it now. Raf is very dedicated to the hombrew scene, and we can expect frequent updates and fixes that will change the way people use their PSP. I have seen so many posts about how internet on PSP is worthless, and now that there is now a good, open-sourced browser the posibilities are endless...

1.5 4ever

# yay — Knutselmaaster 2006-04-29 07:14

Props, big props!

This is making 1.5 the most complete firmware!

Yay!

# what — Guest 2006-04-29 08:13

whats links2

like an internet browser?

# sdfasd — Guest 2006-04-29 08:29

whers the browser? i dont see it in my menu, when i goto psp raidio i dont see it

# Great Job! — Guest 2006-04-29 08:40

I love the browser!

one small suggestion...would making links2 a seperate program take care of your mem issue???

# Wow! — 2Kings 2006-04-29 10:11

fantastic app!

can't wait for future releases

# hmmm — Guest 2006-04-29 10:21

soooo not for static no fun but kool and if it uses 8mb and 2.xx use only 2mb that means this browser owns 2.xx's browser .can it be modded to be in static version?

btw when is the final of the current prerelease pspradio gonna be out

# YEOOOO — Guest 2006-04-29 11:24

*****ing CLASS.

ULSTER EMBRACES THIS LOYALIST APPLICATION.

# Why sony doesn't like us.. — Guest 2006-04-29 14:37

Sony doesnt want us running hombrew on our PSP because none of us can type like normal people.

# NUmber of stations — Guest 2006-04-29 16:22

I too notice how we get about half the stations we used to get... no more video game music for me :(

can anyone tell me why?

thanks in advance

# Cool — Guest 2006-04-29 21:16

Man its things like this that make me wanna buy another psp. I upgraded mine :(. Luckily though, i live in Alaska and, cmon, its Alaska. There are lots of 2.0 firmwares out there. my friend just bought one and im tryng to "trade him" w/o telling him about homebrew. then il get 1.5 and VICTORY WILL BE MINE!!!!! MWAHAHAHA......Well I really want to test this out.

# NICE! — Guest 2006-04-29 21:29

That's what all 1.5 users have been waiting for. ^^

Keep UP that good work!

# im on my psp rightnow — Illegal Machine 2006-04-29 23:52

Thanks to all the people that are happy with the port!.

I'll try to release as a stand-alone version next week..

Raf.

That would be pretty awesome man. Especially if it will allow us to load larger websites. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work. Everyone needs to send this project some money. I will when I can afford it.

Thanks a million man. .A.J.

# wma? — Guest 2006-04-30 18:32

Can pspradio play wmas?

# wma? — Guest 2006-04-30 20:53
