Seems like some files are missing due to a recent server crash.. I'll re-upload them on Monday.. meanwhile search psp-hacks or pspupdates for the required files:

Hi, is there a screen that will give you just the basic info without a map being loaded such as: speed, bearing, elevation etc..?

1 - yes holux gpsslim236 will work just fine
2 - there are versions for both 1.xx & 3+ kernels
Note that the wiring of the cable is different for slim & thick psps

Hello,

I got a PSP 4.05, and I'd like to know if the program work with this version ? I bought a Holux GPSlim236 too.

N.B: I never hack my PSP, so I don't know about my kernel or firmware version ...

serial to usb device.

Can this be used in a project like connecting a bluetooth usb dongle "theoretically speaking" What I am trying to ask is is it possible to connect other usb devices using a serial mod, And yes i know that there are none that i can recall that have a psp connect to other usb devices such as a usb bluetooth device. so please don't say its impossible i just want to know because i want to see if i can make such a device what ever it may be work on the psp even if it just recognizes it but has no driver support would be grate. If you know what im talking about please email me at [email protected] thanks for your time and the awesome hardware.:thumbup:

I think this is enough .....
I do agree with you. Those are the most effective way

Could you maybe add a simple guide on identifying pins please.

man, you check for voltage, not resistance. you need the GROUND wire and the TX wire so if you touch negitive probe of multimeter to ground and the positive side to each wire untill you get a fluctuating voltage (about 2.5v). set your multimeter to like 3, 5, or 10 volts and start tryin to find the tx wire on the gps unit. connects to rx on psp remote (pin 6 if i remember correctly). once you find the wires, hook everything together with a resistor inline with the gps tx(about 1 thousand ohm/1k resistor, maybe higher resistor value) out to the psp rx in and it should work.

[edit = sorry bout that one, thought I was on the last page of this thread. the info is still useful tho, for noobz n misguided googlers...]

yeah, itd work if that mini-usb is a serial/power interface and not a usb. itd be a lot of work to make that work if it was a usb holux reciever. You also need a 5v regulator circut in that connecter thing for psp charging/reciever power? idk the specs on this reciever. if you have all of those things in the picture, and the reciever is as-stated earlier, a little modding and patience, and just add a car mount and viola, you have achieved greatness in the field of psp based navigation.
