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.

I don’t really see what it is about posting first comment…
I guess it’s cause technically, I could be first commenter all the time..
Anyway, niacin’s done a pretty good job with this, but someone needs to figure out how to get video working :)

hey zack, i’ve noticed you continuously posting this babble about 2.6 eboots without gta. why don’t you just sent the info to the site you continue to spam with your more-than-likely bullshit and they can post it for all.
if you did make an accomplishment with 2.6 firmware, my hat is off to you, but don’t spam everyone with bullshit and your email. no one in their right mind would email you, only to then me spammed by more of your garbage.
give something worthy to the community, not just your bullshit.

btw, it’s spelled damAges.

#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.

Man, this is fuckin retarded. What does this have to do with PSP…? They should be posting hacks and homebrew, not this.
