Project4 P.O.C. Video #2

greg | December 18, 2007

You watched this video earlier in the month. Sadly it was somewhat of a poor quality.

The team, only a few moments ago, sent word of a new video posted on YouTube. Behold Project4 — the complete XMB replacement!

We’ve witnessed fake videos and countless deceptions in the past. So to be clear on things, this news should be taken with a grain of salt. Personally I’m a bit skeptic, but I’ve been wrong before. Who hasn’t? Nonetheless I have high hopes; a complete XMB replacement would be one hell of a righteous hack. Stay tuned!

The XMB replacement as of now looks weak, but it’s just a POC… just like CFW 1.00 was originally

other developers can build off of this and potentially create something worthwhile

I wish people would stop saying “It’s a POC”. It’s been proved that the XMB can be replaced many times.

I dont think that people realize that with a fully customizable XMB, you open a new window to the PSP. From that, you could make a whole new FW. Meaning, dev’s would not need to crack Sonys FW and they can just code there own from scratch. A full new XMB just cracks the window to this and will hopefully soon be able to open a door to 100% CFW. But, hey, maybe I am crazy.

Cap has a point to it if a full CFW is out there will be no need for the horrid 1.5 patch for slims or phat’s ontop of that never haveing to update useing what ever features the OFW has and be able to add to it. + even tho sony is compressing they’re cfw we could do it to. as far as i see it’s it looks sweet maybe another ver of irshell but it looks sweet. can’t wait for ya to release it bro

it does look like its another shell replacement just its what ever you want it to be, now if there is a way to flash it that would be freaking sweet, at least there shouldn’t be any worries to bricking. really couldn’t tell though if he flashed it or not cause his hands were covering the memstick light any ideas?

This does look cool, but I will make sure to make a backup of my flash 0 and flash 1 before I do it. My sweet dragon theme is cool right now and I don’t want to have to go find it again if this sucks that bad lol

Well, it’s great to see peeps making this sort of effort, but to echo some previous sentiments, I’m not sure I see the point? I mean if you want to run ANY commercial PSP games, then its pretty obvious you need a backward compatible kernel, which means a replacement XMB cannot have a 100% CFW unless you want to run nothing but cheesey homebrew apps. Fun and all, but not exactly practical. If it is indeed going to be via, I’d think that the boot time probably needs improving. Staggering amount of time and effort must have gone into this, so props for that!
