PSP-OSS; screenshots, video, and more

Gary13579 | December 14, 2005

Daurnimator has sent us an email about PSP-OSS, an open source shell for the PSP.

I’m glad to tell you all that PSP-OSS is nearly here.
It is an open source shell for the PSP.

Working Features:
Mp3 playback
OGG playback
PNG viewing (pictures (only 480×272))
Eboot Loading from within psp-oss
UMD Loading from within psp-oss
Fully skinnable (reboots the oss to change skins)
Wallpapers Changable while in the oss.
NEW: File Browser

Todo:
Jpeg viewing
Text Viewer
We hope to eventually include many more features

Compatability:
At the Moment, psp-oss should only work for firmware 1.5.
We doubt >=2.0 suport will be in our first beta. Maybe not even until kernal mode is ready in 2.0. It defenently does not work on 2.5 or 2.6

Release Date:
Early version available for the public hopefully available by christmas

ALSO:
If there are any gfx artists out there, we need some nice skins, please contact me

Well, I’m a dev on the project, and as you can see, we are working hard.

At the moment the only feature we are missing that is in the sony XMB is the video player, a gap which we hope will soon be filled.

At this minute, we are working on a start menu like interface to launch programs from.

Comment away..

wow, great looking OS.

Any chance something like this could be used to overwrite the firmware entirely with a GNU OS like this? That would be truly impressive, taking the PSP to a whole new level.

Custom firmware…

You wish :P

We have no plans to do that, nevermind the know how.

Maybe in the far future, but… No

Looks awesome!
But, why are you so negative about the custom firmware? Does’nt the 2.01 hack write unsigned code? Would’nt it bee possible to make a custom firmware?? with all the features of 2.6 and 1.5 combined!! With a menu like this that would just bee great!!

Damn homie nice work. Really looking forward to seeing the final outcome of your labor!
I was just thinking on the was to class today how nice it could be to be able to run a powerpoint or something very similar to it. But thats just my crazy rambling haha. Once again, nice.

Pretty nice, but what I am concerned about is the fact that you will have to start it by going to Games -> PSPOSS making it pretty useless. Unless you can actually boot to this instead of the stock PSP operating system, the whole concept of OSS’s is useless.

I might be able to do some GFX for you.

Its not useless if it can do stuff the psp cant normally do. PS: can it boot GTA UMD? (in other words, can you play encrypted games?)

Add a feture that alows us to play music off the stick while disabling the pbp’s sound

Should be a simple kernel trick to reroute the sound

I would dedicate some of the remaining buttons to functions… i.e. one button is already your “Select” button, have another dedicated “Back” button so you don’t have to scroll the mouse all the way to the right then back again, I can see that getting tedious when browsing files or menus… other options are not as important, but you could include a button mapped to take you straight to settings, or all the way back to your original PSP-OSS desktop or something.

Just my $0.02…

Is this a downgrader?
Will it run GTA on 1.5?
Can I run illegally acquired games via the memory stick?

:-P

(no, these are not serious questions)

DOES THE ARTICLE SAY AnYtHiNg about a downgrader at all?

NO - Why would someone think that?

Nice! I look forward to your release.

Maybe working with Fanjita in the future may help you make PSP-OSS 2.0 compatible.

yeah! I know.. it looks great.. and, I also think that the custom firmware isn’t too far away! We just need something that does run unsigned code.. And, the gta hack does not so! We hopefully will see it in 06! My dream atleast! ;) Wish I could do something about it!
