PSIX Feature List Released

[urherenow]

funny how some people can call names like 'dumbass' and then not know how to spell license all in the same 4 sentence post...

errr.... PSIX is altering WHAT copyrighted files? It's a piece of software that you'll force the PSP to run, not a damn firmware that is going to replace the PSP's firmware. Nothing in the PSP is going to be altered. Why don't you learn what the hell you're talking about before calling people names?

Sony said if you run unauthorized code on their PSP then your warranty is voided. That's all they can do. The hardware is YOURS. Their intilectual property lies with perhaps the GPU and the system software alone. Reverse engineering THAT and altering THAT is messing with copyrights. The damn Nand chip is a generic part from samsung that anyone can buy (If you'd like to order 1,000 of them), and the LCDs are made by 2 other companies as well.
When you go buy an Alienware computer that doesn't come with Winrar installed, the company can't sue you for installing it. Or for removing their own software they put in to monitor system stats and such.(not that they would, just an example) Better yet... not even the Mighty Micro$oft can sue you for Disabling the crappy zipfldr.dll (thus altering the designed installation AND operation of Windows XP) .

As I've said already in this thread PSIX and what FLUFF is doing with it might very well be illegal, but it has NOTHING to do with "alter the copyrighted files that arent authorized for public use"

the whole thing about "it's illegal to alter copyrighted files" isn't true, it's illegal to distribute altered copyrighted files, which is a different...

Ok so I've been checking his site like non stop and still no downloads... Only the clock has run out...

It may seem really unpacient but have we been had (I remember Fanjita released 0.9 Loader at time on Xmas)? Again? Man I wanted to see this so bad...

[syrusch]

Pfff no downloads aviable. Is this real OS or a fake ?!?!?! I'm confusing with all this promess and the day as come and nothin's apear...

[frmariam]

Aparently (and thank God) there IS going to be a release sometime TODAY (dont't know if in GMT). Fluff stated that himself at PSPU forum... That was a nasty countdown from hell (still don't know why should the countdown for the Feb 1st day end at noon ).

Man I was glad to read that...

What time is it suppose to happen then?

[Jubalint]

Happened, got myself a copy. Now I might now agree with this whole paying thing... but presentation wise this thing is a frigin' beautiful. When you open it at first everything kinda swooooshes into place, VERY polished graphically.

The mp3 player is also very polished, you tap the left side button and it brings it up. Showed all my mp3s and clicking them (mouse moves the same as psp-oss) started them instantly, it also has options for shuffling, playlists, and a few other things.

It also has like a movie player thing, but I'm not sure if it just loads the movies or if it has it's own thing, plus I don't have any mp4 encoded movies (using PMP of course) so dunno about that. The image viewer thing doesn't seem to work for me either, though the flash demo on the site has it (not that that really means anything). Besides that it shows all my progs and runs them fine, ALTHOUGH it's obviously using the same eboot loader as FA++ and PSP-OSS. Honestly I don't know if he's talked to the guy who wrote it and if they're ok with that all... (I'm pretty damn sure because it shows the same message as those progs when you try to exit out of a eboot agian).

Also it has a screen that shows your UMD which works well along with two other screens that say MOD and NET. I'd assume the MOD is that developer resource thing (the modules or whatever) and NET... is he gonna add a browser? Now if he could get a working and nice browser on 1.5 ... well I just might be willing to pony up some cash for that. Also there seems to be a window for a file viewer, but that doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.

Ok as far as negatives, it works well but some things are less that intitive. Like there's no option that I can find to actually exit out of the program and back to the regular PSP menu. Nothing happens when you hit home, and if you push start it just restarts psix. Select and the rest of the of the buttons on the bottom don't do anything either. In fact the only buttons that do anything is the analog nub, shoulder buttons, X, and start. Overall I found it a little confusing to use, but damn... if it isn't pretty!

My recommendation is that it's probably the best looking homebrew I've ever seen. However despite the really awesome mp3 player it's hampered by no built in (functional at least for me) file browser or image viewer. Runs eboots and UMD's fine though. PSP-OSS has more functionality overall, but not by alot. And if he actually gets the image viewer and file browser working... well then it'll really be giving PSP-OSS a serious run for it's money (pun intended).
