PSP and Mac?

I'm buying a new ibook, and i was wondering if the system for transfering homebrew is the same, i remember hearing that macs wouldnt accept a certain somthing ( i really dont remember) but i was hoping that some one could dispell these thoughts in my head and reassure me that my mca will be able to work with my PSP.

firstly there are NO new ibooks
its MACBOOK now

the way to transfer files to the psp through usb is easy simply plug it in and use it.

of course apps made for windows will not work(i hate executables!!) but if you get a mac book, you partition your hard drive, and use boot camp to install windows onto the intel core, and basically have both a mac and a windows OS in one machine

even better would be to buy the virtualisation software by parralels which allows you to run windows within the MAC OS

ok thank, i got it now, no executables, thats ok, and i know there not ibooks, i ment i was getting a G4 ibook, not a mac book. but thanks for the help.

you may as well get a mac book, unless your getting a great deal...
the ibooks are very old

just to clear up, any app made for windows, wont work on mac os

Welcome to the mac world (they are all I use)

. Though I would have to suggest getting a refurbised macbook from apple here instead of an iBook G4. And transfering apps is just the same.

Ok thanks guys, i bought the ibook for 400$ canadian, it was 1,5GHZ 60gb hard drive, and a 12 inch screen, and also 512mb RAM. so it was a good deal.

That's the same computer I am posting on right now ( I also have a MacBook Pro, iMac G5, and a Intel dual core Mac mini.)

. And it works fine for homebrew there is a kxploit type program out there for mac too.

(from a windows user, and PSP programmer's point of view) Mac's are only usable as ashtrays, and footstools....

you should have bought a Dell XPS or somthing!

but yeah, you just plug it in, and it appears as a removable drive.. however, as there is dish cache writing on Mac's (pfft!) you do have to drag the removable device to the trashcan before you can unplug it, or you'll risk loosing whatever data hasnt been transfered from the computer's cache to the PSP yet
