PSP: Announcing the first JVM (java virtual machine) for the PSP

[DickyDick1969]

Yep, I made a small port of the j2me (K)VM, making my PSP capable of running JAVA programs.. It was a very easy port…. as the Sun KVM is easy to port. It was done in a jiffy… …

See my video of running these classes:

PeeJayStart.java
org/pimpware/Test.java

So why not sharing the stuff ?? (giving you a download link for example…)

It’s sad…

I asked SUN for permission for distributing my port and they said I could not (yet) distribute it for some (not to mention here) reasons. At least not now..

More Information --> See http://www.pimpware.org

Woah! That's cool! Thanks DickyDick. :)

[Jonesyxxiv]

I wish you didnt ask for permission. Its easier to beg for forgivness then to ask permission.:D

[psychadelicious]

Sweet Java Roxz0rz!!!

[pkmaximum]

Hmm the video keeps hanging on load up for me =S

nvm this is kind of kool, its too bad you can't release it though =[

[psiko_scweek]

what legal reasons are they? Just curious?

[sedkiller]

sad you cant put the download link.

[PsychoSync]

Why? That would do no harm to SUN to let PSP use Java?!

[F9zDark]

Well if SUN developed the highly limited Java abilities of Sony's browser, they might not be allowed to willingly allow 'a conflict of interest' piece of software be released for the PSP.

[motormaniac]

This is sweet release.

[remansano]

OH NO!!!!!
Dude!! plz!! keep buging then... PLZ!! SO MUCH!!
This is surelly one of the most important releases PSP ever had.
Even my final project for the college is all coded in Java...

[psiko_scweek]

hmm...... its not bee released just yet. lol oh well, do you think that it can play RuneScape.

[mavsman4457]

This is awesome, a great day for the PSP scene overall and the coders are just magnificent.

[bigdaddychops]

i would play falling sand in handheld form!!! Yeah.

[DPyro]

I wanna code me games in java :(

[djamm]

We all want to Java!!!

Hope it gets leaked soon!

Cheers,

~djamm;)

[psiko_scweek]

if there is something to leak, no offence but too many hoaxes and not enough releases.

[pibs]

are you allowed to release the source code so people can build it themselves instead of dling it? stupid question but its worth a shot ;D

this is great though cuz i actually have a bit of knowledge on java script :) maybe i can build something usefull

[BlackJack23]

If SUN developed the JAVA capabilities of the PSP browser we'd all be playing Runescape on our PSPs!
It is possible by the way.

My friend almost got it working on his symbian cellphone but the damn thing ran out of RAM

[mr_nick666]

Great news that someones working on this! :D Sad news that we may never see it :( Keep fighting the good fight...! ;)

[zx-81]

@mr_nick666: +1

Awesome work Dick, keep it up !

[aries2k4]

If we could ad java to the psp´s capabilities that would be great. To bad Sun doesn´t allow the release.
great work though!!!

[ACID]

Great news like Master ZX said awesome work Dick, keep it up !

[jaydoo]

Fantastic idea, good work again man.

Im almost crying thinking of the music apps I could run if this was released :(

Im emailing Sun to (politely) voice my support for this, everyone should do the same.

[blackrave]

This is awesome! Too bad SUN won't let you distribute this. If maybe they go bankrupt tomorrow, they'll let you upload it?

I guess it's not running at full speed? What is it capable of running now?
Keep developing, and thank you!

Let's all do what jaydoo said, email SUN and beg for their permission.
