PSP Earth v0.2 banner image - Image 1


About two weeks ago, PSP homebrew developer mat_dizzy announced a teaser for an upcoming project named PSP Earth. For the guys who haven't heard about it yet, this application promised PSP owners access to webcams worldwide via the PSP's wireless internet capability (Wi-Fi).

In case you're wondering how the project's been progressing so far, the developer has just announced release of PSP Earth Beta v0.2. This version, being beta and all, is just a demonstration of how the app's engine works, and a teaser of things to come.

For the moment, PSP Earth only has three webcam streams, and is coded in HTML, Flash, Java, and Visual Basic - mat_dizzy plans to code it into Lua (with accompanying EBOOT) format in the near future. Make sure to check out the file readme for usage instructions before anything else. Guys interested in trying PSP Earth will want to have these following items ready (quoting the readme):
  • A Playstation Portable
  • Firmware 2.00 - 3.50 + 3.03oea - 3.40oe. Basically any firmware with internet capabilities - note the flash sections will not be played on any firmware below 2.71
  • A wireless internet router
  • Preferably a memory stick duo (if not host them on your own server as we do not provide it like that)
  • A fast internet connection to have a stable refresh rate, I'd say 1mbps+ will be fine

» cool

This is very nice, It can be better than the new google street view feature. I grew up in new york, now live in georgia so it's pretty cool using the street view to see what things have changed. Hope more webcams get added. Great job on this app and wish you good luck.

» how to get real time cam on this

in the "usatimessqaurew ebcam.html" edit it and change the number "05;" to "01.5;" and it will be real time, so you can see ppl walking and stuff, its great i seen someone call for a cab LOL.

» DumbA$$

NO , you cant use 3.50 for this sorry

» ..

Only 3 works for me, I think the inactive ones are just there to show you they will be added in future.



It's pretty cool, although not as useful as the Google Street View service of course. I can see Trafalgar Square in almost real-time! Times Square looks ugly.

» ur a dumba$$

it can work on any psp with inter net capibility so it would work on 2.00 to any firmware it says it in the article Firmware 2.00 - 3.50 + 3.03oea - 3.40oe. Basically any firmware with internet capabilities - it also had it in bold ..........
