Sony PSP Web-browser enabled

[Colin Dunstan]

The news is out and is spreading quickly that someone figured out how to hack the Sony PSP game Wipeout and enable the hidden browser to surf regular web pages. The following instruction is from Absurd Genius:

1. Setup a DNS server (i.e. Bind)
2. Re-map "ingame.scea.com" to a webserver on your local network via your hosts file
3. On your webserver, create /wipeout/index.html (Can contain links of sites you'd like to see)
4. In network settings, point your PSP's primary DNS @ your DNS server
5. Fire up Wipeout Pure and go to "Downloads" -- you should see your index.html you created.
