ipsp: iphone interface for the sony psp

Those of you with Sony’s PSP portable gaming system can now install a menu system that looks remarkably similar to the one on Apple’s iPhone.

iPSP

The iPSP software installs onto a Memory Stick and provides ready access to your e-mail, photos, instant messaging, and other applications on the PSP.

iPSP interface shots

The menu is a portal to a variety of web-based applications as well as a couple that run directly on the PSP, like the calculator and PSPTunes media player. There’s a bit more information on all the features here.

From the looks of that video clip, it’s not nearly as elegant as a real iPhone. Regardless, you better grab the download quickly. I’m sure Apple’s legal team won’t let this last long.

Screw Apple’s legal team. If folks are having fun with this, it’s no big deal. This sort of thing does nothing but drum up more demand for their iPhone anyway.
2. Steve | July 8th, 2007 at 3:14 pm

Wonderful! Now can you produce the same thing for the Nokia N800? It runs on Debian Linux and has a touch screen!
3. ChrisTek (The Creator) | July 15th, 2007 at 4:41 pm

The only thing in this entire portal that Apple has copyrights on is about half the icons. The rest of the graphics are made from scratch, with the iPhone as an inspiration.
4. technabob | July 15th, 2007 at 5:35 pm

Chris, glad to hear that.

You know, those intellectual property lawyers can be a huge pain in the a**. I think that it’s a totally cool piece of work that you’ve done, and I hope Apple does leave you alone.

Please help. I go to the ipsp link and click on downloads but all i get are a few pictures. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong?!!!!
10. technabob | September 2nd, 2007 at 2:35 pm

Just click those broken image links on the downloads page. They actually link to the two installer files at:

http://www.mediafire.com/?azwytmd2tyz (Easy Installer)
http://www.mediafire.com/?13mcznmb41l (iPSP)

Good luck!
11. ChrisTek | September 3rd, 2007 at 5:06 pm

I do apologize for the site being down, we are upgrading various parts of the site and moving to a new server soon, so it will be back up, in some form, soon.

@Andres: You need firmware 2.71 or higher, with flash player enabled.

Hey guys, this worked fine on my psp. Thanks! Anyways, I want to have something like “psp radio” (live radio broadcasts) on my PSP. I have the latest psp and the ones I found don’t work on mine. Help!
40. brian | December 27th, 2007 at 4:49 pm

does anybody know if this will play flash video higher than SWF 6???

that would be a great fix for the psp if it did. and you wouldn’t have to load CFW to use youtube. somehow i figure that it’s too good to be true. this ipsp thing is more like a custom theme for ipod enthusiasts. is that about right?
41. ziryan | December 29th, 2007 at 12:29 am

u guys r stupid.wen it sais content cant b displayed it means u messed up the process.u hav to restart.people that got it to work .others r all NOOBS NOOBS BOOBS!!!
42. technabob | December 29th, 2007 at 7:33 am

51. technabob | January 24th, 2008 at 7:19 am

Looks like the iPSP download has disappeared from its original locations on the web. Either Apple’s legal team finally got in touch with it’s developers, or they went deep underground. Good luck with your search.
52. Richard | January 26th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

56. DarkSilverlight | February 17th, 2008 at 12:40 am

its kind of dumb to put the user manual in the extractor
but any way for ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE A CANT DISPLAY content, first of common is spelled with an o not an e and second you have to connect your psp to your computer go into the common folder and run the extractor.
57. Bob | February 17th, 2008 at 9:36 pm

WATCH A VID ON YOUTUBE! YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A FILE BEFORE YOU JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE ITS MORE COMPLICATED THAN JUST GOING TO A WEBSITE
58. Raymond | February 21st, 2008 at 9:28 am

but it still says the content canot be displayed
66. Hancho80817 | April 7th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

I was having problems with this yesterday. Put your memory card in you computer and make sure the path on your memory card is correct. I noticed that after the d/l the COMMON folder showed up twice. Actually click on the folders and see that the path is actually :/PSP/COMMON/ipsp/index.html. I hope that helps.
67. jimmy | April 10th, 2008 at 3:07 am

download the ipsp folder off a website fluidmarkup and then drag the folder into you psp folder,then common folder and leave it there. Then put ur memory stik back in the psp and go to web browser. Then type in the address entry file:/psp/common/ipsp/index.html
first make sure flash player is enabled and delete ur cache. if this doesn’t work ur psp doesn’t support ipsp for some reason!
68. lalla tecno | April 21st, 2008 at 10:58 pm

81. Ryan556 | August 14th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

You Just go to system settings on your psp. 2. Click on Where it says enable flash. 3. Agree on User agrement . 4. It will go on the internet and enable Flash. Oh and if you have the slim one the feature will ready enabled
