PSPTouchME & 0×89 XMB
greg | October 2, 2006
There are two interesting projects in development over at 0×89.org. One of which is a touch screen overlaying the PSP’s sexy LCD. PSPTouchME will operate via USB allowing users to interact with the unit — XMB or any supported homebrew. The XMB you ask, how is that possible? Well that leads me to the next project; 0×89 is a complete XMB/VSH [cross media bar] replacement for the PSP. It’ll support video (avi, mpeg, mpeg4, wmv, avc, pmp) & audio (mp3, ogg, wav, wma) playback, image viewing (bmp, png, jpeg, tga), and is totally customizable: icons, colours, menu items, effects, etc…
It’s likely 0×89 will support PSPTouchME; of course the existing PSP XMB and homebrew will not be supported. It’s mentioned an API of some sort will be released with the device for developers to build or extend the functionality of homebrew. Below is a concept image of PSPTouchME.

You can read more about each project below:

awesome! how much will it cost?
nice.
woo!
what about people who already use that two little ponts next to the psp usb port (I use a neopsppad) =`\ grrr
wow!!!
well now all them DS owners can now bow down to the psp.
al we need is another screen and people with DS’s will craw under there rocks, lol
hope this turns out real good and cant wait to see them for sale :)
Fuck DS!!!! PSP rulez all the game systems!!!! all u DS ppl can whine all the way down 2 hell!!
PSP VS DS
W L MUHAHAHAHA
this is crazy now it can be liek a friggin pda…this is gonan be good but i dont know if itll be THAT great but amazing technology development
and jus the idea of a psp beat the hell outta the ds….
0×89 is a really good idea and in truth iv’e been waiting for this since xmas
but the touch screen will have really trouble catching on as most will just think this as a DS copycat
but a touch screen would be fun for lots of apps
Great now we can go online with a virtual keyboard & get fingerprints all over the screen at the same time. 50-50 DS emulator any1? :P
man how hard will it be after this to mod that sucker up and make a DS emulator. man, there makin this shit to easy!!!
Peace
Stupid douchebags. A DS emulator will never work on the PSP. Go shoot your balls off, dumbasses.
one step closer to a keyboard solution for making music, etc.
Horray!
Super Cool Dude. :)
I hope they dont charge to much for this super cool device. :)
no one will believe me but I had that touch screen idea a long ass time ago. I’m just glad someone with greater engineering skills thought of it as well and is putting it in motion. Only when I can make calls, surf the web, IM, play games, and e-mail with my psp without using a keypad or some weird O + X = some letter crazy keyboard will I be happy!
nintendo ds sucks you have to pay for crap to run real games lol plus ds is boring and the game gfx suck…
nothing to do with this just posting but im going to spend 200$ on a new psp to get a 1.5 because my dumbass brother upgraded to 2.80 yes i shall be pissed if a 2.80 downgrader comes out tomarrow
how long before the release and the price range would be nice to know. Possible DS emulator…
I told you about this Greg….again.
:P
Indeed very cool stuff.
yes, very nice indeed. cant wait! hopefully you wont NEED psptouchme to use 0×89, hopefully they will make it optional
also i hope psptouchme isnt blurry…
Its lame peopel are actually happy after ditching the touch screen “gimmick”. Even more lame that despite the fact that people were saying the PSP was so superior, now it eventualy needs a touch screen to revalize the DS which is btw owning the PSP. Sony fanboys are so stupid. And hum when sony can’t copy, another person has to ;)
man psp-hacks is slow…..
but this will only work on specially designed homebrew games not normal UMD games or normal homebrew apps…but stil pretty good
This is old.
I’ve been on that forum for about 2 months. And 0×89 has been in development for almost a year.
#17, dont waste your money, i know waiting is hard, but the 2.80 dg will be here soon enough. and seriously, i garuantee that when you do buy it, the dg will come out, its simple murphy’s law. just be patient. again, i know waiting is hard, but your gonna kick yourself if you do get one. and besides, you have no way of knowing what firmware is factory loaded until you turn it on and look. you may very well end up wasting your money on a factory 2.81!!!
So this is a third party gimmick eh? It won’t last long or even “last” at all. Unless sony makes their very own, official psp touch screen ad-on , then game devs might try and make real good use of it. Whats sad is that most game devs aren’t even making much use of the wifi, all games should have online play of some sort. Well anyway, I hope to see some interesting homebrew for this and a low price!!! Imagine emulating DS…that would totally own! 0_0
Sincerely,
poop
1 word ….LAME
OK 2 words ….. RIP OFF..
A good 3 word one …. WASTE OF TIME!
psp sucks ds owns…i dont actaully have one but atleast it has some decent games psp has maybe 2-3 mediocre games and the rest are insanely horrible
this isnt comming out its a scam to get youre money :( i no im sad to ………………. but all is well just go out and get some pussy.
Why do you people insist on whining about how ds is better than xX!!$PSP$!!Xx, who cares about what people buy, it’s their money and interest NOT YOURS!!! You people treat game consoles with such prejudice, it’s just sad and annoying. Give it a rest and get a life, or if you really want attention kid, go jump off a bridge (preferably a high one).
sincerely,
poop
Lol poop.
1. PSP will never be able to emulate a DS successfully, if at all.
2. The only reason I still use my PSP is for emulation…of Nintendo games. Oh, and free Monster Hunter.
3. Even with the PSX emu coming soon, I’m not shelling out cash just to play them. F-that, I’ll wait until someone hacks/makes their own, for free.
4. I like chicken, and malt liquor.
5. Sony’s foray into the handheld market has so far, phailed. Where’s their killer app?
This is the PERFECT “HACK” at last I can put my psp on the car and have an easy and perfect use of it. Just an GPS support with the touchscreen and we are done.
@nr.33
My thought exactly… HENKHENK here I come :)
Nigga, please! Nigga please!
this is very cool, but i don’t think sony is going to add official support in xmb mode, maby if there comes a hack or something, and you realy going to need 2.71 or 1.5 for support of this, becouse we need hacks..:P
maby there the can develop a word like software or an agenda with touch support that will be realy great, and offcourse webbrowsing
PSP BLOWS!!!!
will there be ds roms which can play on a v1.5 with this new mod and wots the news on the camera for the psp
can i ask why you DS fans boys search for psp websites in ur own time?
is it cause your mum’s and dad’s couldnt get a psp for you they would get the next best thing? or maybe you got it cause you wanted a handheld system and now feel like you have to surport it cause you were stupid to buy one.
what ever the reason please put your bad comments about PSP on a DS website so you can laugh with your dumb ass friends for making the same mistake of getting a DS like you did.
HELLZ YEAH I GOT !.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! somebody traded me 4 free~~!!!!!!!!! what do i do with it know??? already got emu’s on it
MAC SUCKS. PC PWNS.
lol.
I think touch panel for PSP should be a must added feature for next generation PSP.
PC does own, they don’t make dumbass commercials about mac being some dumbass old guy and pc (themselves) being some young dude who thinks he knows it all. I hate mac for disrespecting pc like that. They should just mind their own fucking business and stick to making their entertaining ipod commercials. No disrespect to mac owners, lol!
Sincerely,
poop
i think this might fail. or wont be worth it
OnePiece
Excuse my ignorance, but how exactly is this going to interact with the PSP over USB? Are there any known hacks on how a (non-USB-host) USB device can talk to the PSP? Is there any other such project? Is there any devkit support for this?
thats awsome it’ll be great for the person who creates the nintendo ds emu
wow i hate this idea just buy a ds lite i got both psp AND a dslite i going to sell my psp it gay
for the ppl who are saying that psp is gay go suck off your own dick, post your psp hate shit someplace else just because you cant make it or know how to us a psp does not make it shit, learn to us it and dont ask pointless questions
Why would anyone want a DS emulator? Nintendo games are for little children.
The only good game that I see out for DS is Jump Superstars. I’m not sure if it’s worth the space on my memory stick…
if this works sony might buy it off the makers
and if the makers decline well sony will have been sh!i on bad style
I’m a proud owner of 3 (well, one. but I’ve gone through 3) DS’s, and 2 (one now) PSPs. I personally like both systems. PSP, for the price, is not worth it… I have an iPod for my music, and I don’t really want to watch movies on a PSP.
But, it is a slick machine. I absolutely love Lumines. That, and the many emulators available make it an awesome system. It’s also relatively (compared to the DS) easier to program for.
I think my DS Lite is better than my PSP. But then again, they’re their own systems. If Sony would stop being dicks, and just let us use our emulators (NES, Genesis, NeoGeo, etc.) and it were the same price as the DS, I’d totally justify getting one.
The only reason I have one now, is because my sister’s dad (note: not my dad) bought it for her birthday.
The fight between DS and PSP, is idiotic. As much as Nintendo fans shout fanboy to the Sony fans, anyone who argues in favour of their own without legitimate cause or giving reasons, is just a fanboy.
If you want to say Nintendo games are for little kids, for people like poster # 50, I suggest you seriously reconsider how mature you really are.
There are usually three stages to maturity:
There’s the infantile/child stage, where you will do anything, and can easily ignore adult worries or personal image problems.
Then, comes to the preteen/denial stage, where you relinquish any and all feelings for things ‘kiddie’ in nature (Pokemon, Nickelodeon, stickers).
Then, comes maturity. This is the one where you realize what it is you indeed enjoy, can allow others to enjoy it without being a bigot, and can also SOMETIMES enjoy these things, too. I’m 15, and I understand that I’m not alive, at this age, to watch Barney, eat lollipops, and wipe my ass with my hand (though I do, on occassion). But I, on top of the many things I do (I’m a programmer/3D artist for my own game development studio startup here in Miami, FL) can still take time, and enjoy a little childish fun: a game of Hide n’ Seek with my younger sister; pretending I’m Darth Vader and she’s Luke Skywalker and we have lightsaber battles with brooms; and a good game of Pokemon Ruby or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles In Time.
It’s all about understanding, that liking something aimed at a seperate age group, doesn’t mean you have to act like that age group.
Sorry for the rant. Have a nice day everyone!
Oh, and about the touch-screen… Not really interested, personally, but it could be pontentionally useful.
i have had it!!! this is where sony crosses the line! the idea of the touch screen was from the ds. sony has been known to steal from nintendo, but to stoop this low to add a touch screen?
I have both a DS and a PSP, and I play both equally. They’re both great in their own ways, but each has their flaws. So what I’m saying is that I’m a Sony AND Nintendo fanboy. (PS3 and Wii for me!)
It’s the X-Box that sucks. (Just joking. It had JSRF and other good games, which rocked.)
And #54, do your research: this isn’t being done by Sony, it’s being done by a third party, dumbass. Makes me sad to have the same name as you.
DSI ARE CRAP
dsi sucks
