Hacking the PSP

When I first heard about the PSP, I was ecstatic about the possibilities of having such powerful technology on a portable platform. Here was Sony, the inventors behind the incredible wizardry that went into the PlayStation 2, making a portable version that didn’t skimp on features, and in fact was actually in tune with the wants and needs of modern gamers and computer geeks! Built-in Wi-Fi; full media playback capabilities; expansion capabilities with the use of Memory Sticks instead of some weird, expensive proprietary PSP-only format; a USB 2.0 port—it even played games! Wow, talk about a platform waiting not only to be played, but hacked to all get out. I was the first person in line at midnight at a GameStop in Indianapolis, Indiana. I plopped down the money, ate a few free doughnuts, and went home to see what my new toy could do.
