PSP Flash Player Released

greg | February 28, 2006

psphacks.net and 71M, together with RK Digital.net, Heavy.com and Newgrounds.com, have released the first flash player for the PSP - SWFPlayer v1.1.

SWFPlayer v1.1 only runs on firmware version 1.50 and supports most action script through version 7.

There are a few known issues

  • flash files which use MP3 sound. PCM sound is fully supported.
  • loading times are being worked on

Otherwise it runs quite smooth! The source code is expected to be released later on once things are cleaned up a bit.

Good job guys!

Download SWFPlayer v1.1

Well done, i always wanted sony to release flash player in firmware, as i stupidly upgraded to 2.6 when i panic’d as my psp would play games and kept crashing lol. Anyway, well done :)

well if the firmware 3.o stuff is true this will be made redundant when people upgrade to 3.0 but as we have all those sopposed 3.0 stuff in firmware when this custom firmware comes in we can build a firmware with it all in and homebrew and sony will be back to the drawning board again, kicking them self’s in the shins with stupidity

OMG this is great , does it work on 2.6? , just kidding but I know how with more than 99% of the flash games and movies in newgrounds how to downloaded as swf programs to yourcomputer , the process takes like 5 minutes so anyone that needs help add wfuentes@msn.com to your messenger.

HOLY CRAP this thing takes FOR EVER to load up a 700kb animation….like, my PSP actually went into SLEEP MODE before it was done loading up. I’m totally serious. Just because Strongbad Emails are on a 486 doesn’t mean you have to simulate how slow they actually load!!!

Ya holy shit, Im tryin to play happytreefriends 2.15mb the last 10mins. I dont even know if this thing works yet. Far to slow, Thats something that really needs to be worked on. But this and all this is class

2006-02-28 22:22:12

I’ve been waiting for this for so long, gonna download so many files. Does it also play flash games that are .swf? That’d be cool

 
Comment by Lupin The Third
2006-02-28 22:22:31

No sound on Strongbad emails!!! BOOO. I guess they use MP3 as the sound format. So, how the heck does one go about dowloading flash game swf files from all these websites that have neat embedded flash games??

 
Comment by Coasterfreak212
2006-02-28 22:27:29

ha, n64 on a 2.6, that’s extremely funny. They’re having trouble with 1.5 n64 emu, still waiting for it too, but highly doubt it’s gonna work for 2.6

 
Comment by Kick
2006-02-28 22:29:42

You can download programs such as the “Sothink SWF decompiler”, wich can let you download and save the .swf of the flash files onto your computer. This plugin is neat because it adds on to the tool bar of I.E and is very easy to find what you want on the page and to download it. I recommend it for use of getting files to play.

#32 and for anyone else interested. sometimes you can find the link to a “.swf” file in the html source for a page.

Or

just google/download a free tool called “flashmovie extract pilot” and it’ll grab swf files from your cache and you can save them where ever you like.

whether or not the file is compatable with this version of flashplayer is up to what the program decides to load but w/e progress is progress!

A whole new world has been opened. Imagine the quantity of Flash Games, software, and animation that can now be produced by almost anyone, with much greater ease than programming for PSP.

AWESOME News, forget the bugs, it will be perfected I’m sure, in time.

You know guys, you can download .SWF files with FireFox you know. FireFox the internet Browser to be more clearer. Go the site that has the game in the window. Then go to Tools, then Page Info, and then, Click the MEDIA Tab, then find your SWF or FLASH type file and click save as. Then DONE! This is the easiest way to “Grab” Files from webpages/sites. LONG LIVE FIREFOX!

im wondering what if a persons PSP breaks down maybe cause of oldness or something then if they repair it or replace it it would be a high firmware then no more homebrew. unless if Sony supports homebrew or adds cool stuff like this then every1 is happy.i think

 
Comment by Coasterfreak212
2006-03-01 02:58:34

#47, I broke my psp and did research on repairs. Outside repair companies (such as fixmyplaystion.com) will not update the firmware (asked them from tech support) If you repair by sony they will surly update the psps firmware, but that’s totally out of this subject. And Nevermind about the homebrew overclock thing I talked about, no such thing. I’d be good though, but it does take forever to get this thing loaded.

 
Comment by Coasterfreak212
2006-03-01 03:06:40

you know, you’d think how they said “loading times are being worked on”, that it would be at least bearable, but this thing is slower loader flash than my crappy packardbell comp with win95 and a pent1 with 16mb of ram (good ole days). Man they really need to overclock this thing

Well done psphacks.net, pikoro and the boys did a great job on this one.

As for the slow loading, there is an update now i think, that speeds it up. Pikoro replaced the file.

#25 “fuck psp hacks” grow up dick head.

…dont hate, congratulate.

2006-03-01 04:18:23

Ok, I’m having some issues getting the new build compiled. The loading times are mostly fixed, and some mouse issues resolved. Once I get home I’ll see if I can’t crank out another release.
Cheers

This is a great idea for PSP, and I really think that the people responsible are super cool, but, honestly, this release is really awful. It’s BARELY functional and has serious bugs/compatability issues with just about everything I ran on it. Consider it more of a TECH DEMO than a FLASH PLAYER. (Till they release version 2.0)

Excellent start to a great program! Much respect to the dev team. Heres a good question. Did anyone notice that you can actually view the ‘read only’ sections of Flash 1 & 2 on the PSP? Plus, apparently it also shows USB enabled/disabled when connected to a PC. File Copy/USB OTG anyone?

I know how to make more than 99% of the flashes in newgrounds to .swf files , still i’ts a long process ( takes about 5 to 10 minutes for each flash ) but it’s good if you want to have the top 50 flashes on newgrounds on your psp , if you want help add me to your contact on messenger wfuentes@msn.com and I will help you , too this process I think it works with even flashes that are not from newgrounds but haven’t tried on flashes not from newgrounds so don’t know. Of course if you ask help there are conditions
a. don’t post them on any site like ebaumsworld.com cause it’s illegal.
b. Don’t sell the flash file or trade it cause it’s illegal too
c. do not share the files cause it’s illegal too.
That’s it.
