PSPi v0.5 Beta Released

greg | March 20, 2009

If you’ve ever been curious as to what’s happening behind the scenes when downloading games from the PSN Store, check out RainMotorsports’ PSPi for Windows.

Connect your hand held via USB and ensure a memory stick is inserted; PSPi executes the same commands the PSN downloader would, as well returning the query results so you can see exactly what’s what.

New Features:

  • Manual SCSI Command Entry
  • Output now SCSI Buffer max of 65536 Bytes
  • Removable Drive Detection (I have yet to implement actual psp detection in this app)
  • Hex editor style plain text output
  • ANSI or Unicode Text Output Display
  • Ability to use SHIFTJIS_CHARSET
  • New Warnings (Format and manual commands)

Things to Know:

  • Commands are in HEX
  • Information type SCSI Queries will fail if the output isn’t set high enough
  • Command type SCSI Queries may fail if byte length is greater than 0
  • PSP Commands appear to be 10 Byte and Byte 2 is usually 00
  • Byte 1 is the Query/Command while following bytes are parameters

So, what exactly can we do with this thing? Can it be used to figure out how to download stuff for free?

I highly doubt you will be able to download stuff for free from Sony since if anything that information would be stored on their servers, not on your PSP.

What this appears to be, reading the description, the Playstation Downloader sends commands to the PSP to do a number of things on the PSP. This program looks to be able to emulate the commands that Sony sends to the PSP, to do firmware checks, ect.
