Looks pretty nice. Though, the next version should be a flash version. That would be pretty damn cool. AIM can be done in flash, can't it?

Tip. next time you dowload something make sure 2 look 4 READ ME .

# answer on "how to" — Jokerman 2006-06-06 15:26

type in "file:/psp/common/x5/index.html" in the adress bar and it should work fine. just read the "read me" next time

# no — Guest 2006-06-06 15:34

no i already new that i wanted instructions on how to use the features in this portal like itunes and iphoto and stuff

# i'm indifferent. — Guest 2006-06-06 16:32

an interesting package, to say the least. I give it a "meh" overall. Also, a profound LOLLAME to putting the redirect to their website if you try to view the documentation.html in anything but the psp's browser. I could understand it in the index, but the documentation? w/e. Too much trouble, imo. I couldn't D-pad-push mouse over the links, I had to manually push the analog nub around to find the buttons... maybe that's just me being lazy, but i've gotten used to D-pad selecting links.

# okay aye QUICKTIME player help — Guest 2006-06-06 16:45

# ugh — Guest 2006-06-06 22:32

ASK IN THEIR FORUMS FOR HELP, god retards...

# Hmm... — Rehevkor 2006-06-07 05:55

I'm pretty sure that most of what's in this is just for looks, and doesn't really do anything useful.

# i agree — Guest 2006-06-07 06:04

im startin to think that everything is for looks too

# What is the point? — Guest 2006-06-07 06:50

what is the point of this application....i mean can you listen and watch media from ur pc to psp through some kind of portal or can you stream media from the internet and view it on the psp using an access point, without the need of a pc.

please help me understand this a little more. (instructions would help)

the program looks really nice though ;D

# installation — Guest 2006-06-07 09:30

ugh..i can't install the damn thing...and their are no forums... it says "system cannot find the file specified", it looks really cool but i can't even get installation... help...

# huh — Guest 2006-06-07 10:37

whats teh cross media bar

# How to use the X5 Portal: An Idiot's Guide — Guest 2006-06-08 08:20

stick the folder labeled "X5" in the folder named "COMMON" which is in the "PSP" folder of your Memory Stick (Pro) Duo®. If you can't find that, then you shouldn't be trying to do this. After the "X5" folder is in "COMMON" put the "X5" picture in "PHOTO". Now start up you PSP (PlayStation Portable®). Open the Web Browser from the Cross Media Bar. This means scroll left until you go to "Network" on the line of icons called the XMB, or Cross Media Bar, and chose the bottommost one, titled "Internet Browser" [IMPORTANT: Only works on 2.0+. This includes: 2.00, 2.01, 2.50, 2.60, 2.70, and 2.71. It's not an EBOOT so don't try the eLoader.) After the Web Browser is open, type into the address bar this: "file:/psp/common/x5/index.html" Start clicking stuff.

# i cant install either — Guest 2006-06-08 08:33

# it works idiots — Guest 2006-06-09 07:30

# Works Great even for 1.50 users — cubiCPixel 2006-06-12 06:42
