Firefox Web Portal for PSP

[N1ghtshade]

NOTE: THIS VERSION IS ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD! THERE IS A SLIGHTLY NEWER VERSION AT http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30057

Well I was looking through x5 and WinPSPortal and thinking, wouldn't it be great if there was a portal promoting Firefox? So I set out to write one. I have and its basically a copy of the Firefox Start Page that I have shrunken down and optimized for the PSP.

FoxGlove: firefox that fits like a glove

[LAMPRO]

anybody test this yet?

[jman420]

anyone know what it does???? it seems like its just a html viewer...

[N1ghtshade]

I'm not exactly what you mean by html-viewer...but this probably isn't it. This is a couple psp-format offline webpages that are firefox related. THIS IS FOR 2.0 AND HIGHER USERS ONLY. Unless you are using the Waverace exploit or something, in which case I have no idea if it will work. If you have downloaded X5, this is kinda similar. It's not OS based, however, and doesn't have "apps" per se. You will be able to download application-esque extensions (as soon as I find a good place to host them!)

If you want sceenshots, I can probably get them

waverace exploit!
what in hell?

[muffinman]

nightshade you confuse everyone to much

[LAMPRO]

nightshade- the night has shaded u and we all dont know what u r saying.

[N1ghtshade]

.............................
Okay. I don't really understand what you don't understand. Can you please ask very specific questions? Sorry for being a little vague. I'll try to answer what I can.

What does it do? well, it's basically a nifty homepage for your browser.

What the hell is the Waverace exploit? Well, I don't know very much about this since its a browser for 1.5 people that you change the DNS settings or something.

Have I been shaded by the night? Hells yeh


There are now screenshots

[yaustar]

Its basically a 'skin change' that *promotes* firefox. It works in the same way as WinPSPPortal.

[Accordion]

wait a minute ...
people come in versions 1.5 etc who produces these people, a DOG in a mirror?
so there are different types of human now? i guess im a 1.5? i must be lacking some features...

anyway nice release, when i was on 2.0 i did like all the different portals, some have a really clean look.

[N1ghtshade]

Hahahaha. I meant 1.5 users.

[jman420]

wait! no, night shade plainly lied, this is just a few offline html's that can be viewed that are re-sized google and firefox pages....

[IndianCheese]

Ok, what he means by waverace exploit is the WipEout Pure internet browser.

[yaustar]

wait! no, night shade plainly lied, this is just a few offline html's that can be viewed that are re-sized google and firefox pages....
I haven't seen anywhere we he lied, the first post was quite specific:

[Accordion]

this threas is like some kind of nightmare farce
truly scary!!

[N1ghtshade]

For people who have actually downloaded this, what features could be added in 1.5 and 2.0?

[A_Username]

waverace exploit!
what in hell?

I think he means the WipEout PurE web browser exploit.

[Accordion]

really !

...

i know, its just this thread is so confused

[N1ghtshade]

Yeh. This thread is pretty messed up.

Meanwhile, thinking about 1.5...should maybe be done in...2 weeks? I'm not really working on it right now. I've noticed that some of the titles are messed up...that little bug will be fixed. Also...extensions. 1.5 will probably come with a couple. I'm thinking maybe: A google independent rss reader (with code jacked from Feedbucket), a photo viewer (would this really be useful? probably not except maybe if you were looking for a photo that is not in the psp/phot directory), a flash games collection (for 2.7. I don't know how flash responds on 2.7- I have 2.0, so I'll be using games other people have already suggested). I might make a special bookmarks page that you could import directly out of Firefox or IE. Still not sure what I want to do with bookmarks, If I can shrink the interface a bit more, I could use the firefox icons.
<BR>
2.0 will probably come with different themes and a customizable background (like X5).

[21maxx]

Could someone please put flash games into them!

[21maxx]

has anyone thought of putting flash games in them?

[N1ghtshade]

, a flash games collection (for 2.7. I don't know how flash responds on 2.7- I have 2.0, so I'll be using games other people have already suggested)

Thanks for your interest. I don't have 2.7 so I don't know which games perform well on the psp. I'm very open to suggestions, please include the url and a summary might be nice.

[Nataliana1234]

is their a read me or a link that u type in ur browser once istalled and a place to put it on ur memory stick

? not much info just a file

[Nicko01]

you do know that this is almost 13 months old right?

well, you put the file somewhere on your psp (ms0:/psp/common/{name of file}) then type in file:/psp/common/{name of the file} (without the {}'s)

[Test30]

Nice project.thanks:thumbup:

[N1ghtshade]

I'm surprised and thankful for continued intrest in this project. I haven't written in a while perhaps I'll update and add more flash...

[N1ghtshade]
