Off-Topic: Linux on MSNTV2
greg | February 14, 2006
This is a bit off-topic, although the schematics for the serial interface was designed with the PSP in mind. And also, this hack is made by Niacin – the one (toc2rta) responsible for discovering the TIFF overflow in firmware version 2.0 – allowing us all to take advantage of homebrew.
So anyway, MsnTv 2(also known as WebTV) was never an interesting gadget for Linux users. Limited in functionality and also working only with a paid subscription – no wonder merely a few geeks got interested in it. As it turns out, however, with a dint of hacking effort it can be converted into a Linux-based server – no complex hardware modifications are really required. As they can be picked up on eBay for $0.99 + shipping, it’s a rather wonderful bargain. And they cluster nicely on a shelf!
Head over to toc2rta.com to check it out.
Props to Niacin for this cool hack.

#25 no need need for cursing , I know you are a person who tries to ruin people’s fun ,when I posted that I got #2 I had already read the post that greg did , of course ,this is my first time I get #2 of many times I have posted a comment so maybe I overexagerated but you shouldnt be cursing a person just for a small fault.
Lol This place really does seem the most uptight bunch of gamer’s I’ve ever seen.
what the heck! did that guy really come out with a downgrader or not? Guess i’ll just wait 4 psp-hacks to post it.
Man, this is fuckin retarded. What does this have to do with PSP…? They should be posting hacks and homebrew, not this.
It states that this is off topic u moron!
