A user by the name of BlueZombie has posted a video up on YouTube that looks to be a PSP controlling the Xbox 360 dashboard. At this stage the dashboard is scrollable, but has no functions as yet. The team behind this application, say that they will not release it to the public until it is fully functional and make a big point to say that it will not play Xbox 360 games or access Xbox Live (obviously!).

In the beta video (below) the PSP is hooked up to the Xbox 360, running PSP360 (via firmware exploit) where you can see the dashboard being mirrored and controlled on the PSP.



Please note: Right now this is not 100% confirmed and may be a fake, so please post your comments as to whether it is real or not.

it's totally fake, the firmware hack on the 360 does not allow you to run unsigned code. you can only boot unmodified raw backups. also, the guy sux at trying to fake it, it's obvious he just put a video of someone switching back and forth between blades in the dashboard on his psp and is just trying to push the buttons as the video flips back and forth, which he's sorta clumsy at. I'm so sick of these idiots getting news coverage

it is..pretty bad attempt..i wish the people who host news would take a closer look and analyze it more. I really appreciate all they do, but when you get all this fake stuff up on PSPU, it gets kind of annoying.

this is a fake!!!!

   by RaiderX - 2006-05-28
 » #4 is correct

yes, this is definately fake, not onyl cuz its done like crap buit also the video doesnt even show the PSP "controlling" the 360 at all. It shows the 360 interfeace on the PSP. WHich means the PSP and the 360 set up a connection and the 360 sent its interface over to the PSP? no, it wouldnt be compatible.

also, the PSP CANNOT and WILL NOT control anythign thru USB, EVER! it has simply a slave chip that is sent straight to the memory stick for file transfer for version 1.5. On 2.7, it has soemk libs allowing it to acdept controls from another evice, but Im pretty dure it cannot give commands to an external device, It cannot be done.

this video is 99% bullplop!

that extra 1% is cuz he uses the prince of persia gameboot like me =P

 » yes and no

This could happen but no the way this guy is tryign to pass off because there is no other homebrew thaty will run stuff through the usb cbale like that so I say fake but it is possible to do this but not that way.

YOu could change the gameboot or game loading sound with this homebrew program. I haven;'t use it for awhile, but I did my little psp with a Xbox 360 boot sound when ever he turn on his psp from shutdown. Its really good. For the gameboot animations is kinda hard to do. but you could add some intro animations from a game to load the boot loading part like Naruto boot loading and some other stuff. I can't wait to get that mod chip so I could do custom firmware soon and do this method, I update my psp just to play some 2.60 firmware require games.

 » re--

well right now im pretty sure you could view your 360 interface on your psp but not controlling ti because couldnt you use the homebrew that sneds tv singal to your psp but instead of tv send the 360 interface

   by JoRaPi - 2006-05-28
 » hmm....

i'm not one to claim that things are fake, but this one is HIGHLY possible

when the camera moves, there's a huge possibility to quickly change the psp over to the Video mode and run a video recorded from the 360's menu

also, as mentioned before, the memory stick light is covered, which is "strange"

 » HARD

it would be very hard to control somthgin that has no were near enough buttons to do so but view is a possibilty.

   by lol (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29
 » BS

This is really Bllsht, its a fake, he didn't even controlled that menu right with the buttons on the psp, never showed the memorystick light and wth is he doing with his camera?

hahahahha so very fake, just a goddamn video, what a pathetic loser :D
psp360 beta, dream on :')

   by chipxsd - 2006-05-29
 » what are you trying to prove here?

Come on, it is surely a fake. And it would be more convincing, if he would put PSP controls on hold and really press d-pad buttons (not just air press them).

His fingers and screen are not synchronized well. He could at least practice those timings before recording himself.

Well, the video might be Dutch, or the producers at least. Cuz I remember this backgroundsound very clearly from the series of 'Bassie en Adriaan' (a dutch series for children). Also because of previous fakings were done by Dutch people like the 'Ipod Video Widescreen' picture you might know, (which most people thought to be true, unlike this one). This was made with photo-editting software with Dutch menu's etc.

i think ive seen this somewhere before a LONG time ago ( or something similar to it). im pretty sure its fake

   by h0py (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29
 » lol. was convincing till the end

i dunno... it was sorta iffy. im gonna go in the middle boat... eventhough i dont want it to be fake, and it would be so awesome if it wasnt... i am inclined to say that it is looking sorta fake. but i could be wrong =/

 » easy

maybe he didnt need a video,,, he might have been too lazy?

Anyone can make a simple program that loads an image to the screen after printing a bunch of mumbo jumbo via printf("");

Then just view the same picture on ur 360 and walaa...

   by flappie (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29

Bassie & Adriaan!!! (dutch people will understand :P)

Btw, when will they learn that posting a video of something on the internet isnt proof...

   by Feark (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29
 » Was thinking to say this wasnt fake cuz...

It seemed so pointless to fake such a thing. Really, who want to control a stationary console with a portabel multimedia device?...

Oh, well, that seem pretty cool though. hehe

   by jas0nuk (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29

As someone has said, the firmware only allows raw backups that are still signed to be played, not homebrew.

FAKE.

This has wayyyyy to many holes in it to be real. As cool as it would be, there's just no way.

the only good thing about that video was the background music , freaky


   by Tieske (Unregistered) - 2006-05-29
 » fake..

fake stuff.
It is indeed the music from B&A.
I think it's Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield.
