PSP Keyboard possible?

[emuking]

cool hope it happens soon

This is revolution!!! Good luck! Can´t wait to use Commodore 64 trackers with full keyboard.

Hmm, not to be a gloomy gus, but since he hasn't done anything yet, how is this news?

This won't work for the same reason that you can't use a USB hard drive with your PSP. The device he's connecting needs to be a "master" device in order for the PSP to read data from it, since it only supports slave mode.

Obviously the PSP has some sort of support for USB devices and if the person who made the original post was coding in a lower level language than Lua, I might think there was something to this. But, no offense, it's going to take a little more hacking than can be done with rudimentary Lua coding skills to get a USB device to work with the PSP.

On the other hand, it's nice to know that people are trying to explore the secrets of the USB port.

I can't wait to get a keyboard and then hopefully someone will develop a mud client for PSP. porting tintin would be awesome

SWEET! The cell phone keyboard is something i hate on phones and its even worse on the psp. Let's pray that this works. The joystick looks like a longshot but could there be any possiblity to use it as a second analog stick?

EXACTLY dude all he has done is knocked up a cable simple !! what we need is a proof of concept like a homebrew application perhaps in the form of a HID device driver for the P$P.

It's good to know he's trying and even if he doesn't come up with a keyboard for the PSP there's no need to rock the boat you know?

If IRSHELL can view filesystems on your computer,I'm sure it's possible.Somebody just needs to write the code,maybe based on Ahmans work.

I thought this would never be possible because the PSP is not a host thing its a client or w/e (input, like a mass storage device) and I thought I read somewhere that this type of USB device could not talk to other's of this type...Maybe I'm on crack, somebody please tell me I'm wrong, for the sake of a keyboard!
