## Projects
|
|
|
|
A PSP is in that strange place in the middle of normal gaming and
|
|
retro-gaming; I count it in my retro-computing hobbies.
|
|
|
|
When it came out, it was way ahead of its time in terms of hardware,
|
|
of graphics quality, or features. It was one of the first handheld consoles
|
|
to truly be aimed at the Internet. The PSP's internet features have sadly
|
|
been slowly degrading with the evolution of Internet standards and the lack
|
|
of interest from various hackers to play with those; most people are only
|
|
focused on PSP games.
|
|
|
|
### Archival
|
|
|
|
Preserve what remains of the PSP's official websites and documentation,
|
|
especially what can be relevant to the PSP's internet features.
|
|
|
|
### CXML
|
|
|
|
Reverse-engineer a format used in multiple files of the PSP, such as
|
|
Internet Radios, folder thumbnails, etc.

|
|
|
|
### SensMe
|
|
|
|
While archiving the websites, I re-discovered SensMe Channels.
|
|
|
|
With some general knowledge I acquired about machine learning concepts at the
|
|
workplace, I want to try to understand how SensMe works by comparing it to
|
|
modern music classifiers and analyzing its data structures.
|
|
|
|
### PSP Server
|
|
|
|
There have been a few attempts at making PSP HTTP servers:
|
|
|
|
* [PSP HTTPD](http://web.archive.org/web/20050827120434/http://www.microsith.com/psp-http/)
|
|
* [PPSPS](http://web.archive.org/web/20060703011157/http://www.pspproject.net:80/)
|
|
|
|
Another interesting project is [Peldet][peldet], a PSP Telnet/IRC client.
|
|
|
|
We want to have a new take at this and make a server out of a PSP. Not just
|
|
HTTP, anything goes; we just want to see a PSP in the wild being used as a
|
|
server. Some ideas:
|
|
|
|
* An HTTP server that returns the GPS coordinates
|
|
* An HTTP server that returns a picture taken with the PSP's Go!Cam
|
|
* A remote job entry service; send some code and the PSP returns its result
|
|
|
|
We might place a PSP running the Go!Cam service on a hill, as we had done
|
|
before with a Raspberry Pi.
