Hi Guys,
I just dropped in to share news of a little project of mine :)
This is not a release, but rather a demo/news, or whatever, as I believe it
is a world first of a barcode scanner application for the PSP with YouTube videos to proove it ;)

Direct YouTube links in case the embedded videos don't work:
lol, where do you get the barcode scanner?
Great work, never would've thought of it. :D
This is funny! It would be even more useful, if it would work with the psp camera...
At first I thought it my use ir, but then I became not stupid about barcodes being made of paper. :p
Barcode Battler flashbacks anyone?
Apart from "Just cause i can" - why would anyone want to do this? As well as that, who even thinks of attaching a bar code scanner to a PSP.
I'm not bagging this out, i think its cool cause a lot of effort would be put into it. I'm just curious as to how people think...
lol what does the voice say after the price?.... sounds like its swearing! lol
but good work i guess, ill prob never be able to get a scanner for my psp though.
If you go the website he supplied he tells you thats it's very easy to hook one up to the psp and they are cheap, I imagine if you looked around enough you could find one ;). This would be fun just walking around in a store using.
Not really.Quote:

So, in other words, if you walked around a store scanning stuff, you wouldn't get anything (apart from the number) unless you have the entire stores inventory database stored in your PSP somewhere or wireless accesst to the database on the stores network...
it would be cool if he could make a scanners homebrew game, where each different scan is a monster to fight.
