"Hello World" - homebrewing begins on the PSP?

by James Ransom-Wiley { May 5th 2005 at 3:10PM }

"Hello World", the traditional name for the first program created when coding on a new system, is reportedly working on the PSP—v1.0 boot; a Japanese pre-updated PSP. This could be the first step towards homebrew for Sony's handheld… Ladies and gentlemen, the floodgates are open(ing?)!

Let me be the first to say that your coverage of the DS hack/homebrew scene has been outstanding. Bravo.

The DS is one of the worst executions of a good idea that the game industry has ever seen, it doesnt deserve coverage

You don't deserve the flippers you're typing with.

And the psp does deserve coverage? Why, because it's defect-ridden and battery sucking face is so pretty, oh so pretty? Give me a break.

The Hello World code does work on the US version of the PSP. I can run the program from my Memory Stick Duo without any issues. I purchased my PSB at Target in Illinois two days after the release. I have not yet attempted upgrading the firmware over the WIFI connection.
