PSP homebrew developer Art dropped by the QJ.Net Forums earlier to let the community in on a new project under works, titled PSPrice. This remarkable little homebrew application turns the PSP into a portable barcode scanner - the scanner attaches by resistor to the PSP mike plug - and is based on Symbol Technologies' barcode scanner used in K-Mart, Target, and Big W retail stores. See the video below for a demonstration: Art (aka ArtyFart) added these details regarding PSPrice: The price checking application is actually part of a larger program that was written for stocktaking, and other purposes, but this module was intended as a separate function. It could just as well been a separate program. The PSP application also speaks the price in a high quality Human voice using a speech routine written for the above-mentioned application. |

» umm
this could be used to steal things.... +]
since it registers the barcode if you can access wifi, you can trigger into the store's server and scan an item and making the item status - purchased causing the alarm to not ring.

The alarm rings not because of this technology it is because of the special security strip inside of the item going through the detector. Haven't you notice that they rub the item on a special pad that deactivates it at the register?

this is pretty neat and useful. I hate to have to walk up to cashier or search for those price scanners or even to ask those trusty employees for the price of something.

» i see a point
a cool point in this!! there was this bar code game a while back where you scan the bar codes and gets your fighter stronger by the codes.. i dont know how it really worked, i never got one, but some one can use this to make a similar homebrew game for it. nice work, wtg

» http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skannerz
The original Skannerz came in three versions which represented the three tribes. Zendra (blue), Pataak (green) and Ujalu (red). If a player scans a barcode containing a rival tribe's monster, a battle would be initiated. Also items could be gathered from U. P. C. barcodes.Another feature is the two player battle system where two units could be linked together and battle.There are 126 monsters to collect and control between the 3 controllers.
i had ujalu :P. it was interesting as a 12 year old to be using that thing to its full potential. old stuff..

» Why not release it?
C'mon Art, why not release it?
Any homebrew is good 'brew IMHO.
Anyone can go to a thrift store and pick up one of those old CueCats for $1, and modify it so you don't need a $100 scanner wand to use this.
I assume this uses a PS/2 keyboard wedge protocol modified to fit the remote jack?

» Dude release that *****!
Mannnn. That is the most awesomeness thing I've ever seen on the PSP.
You gotta release it with a big database of codes.
I'd love to play with it in the stores. God knows how often I see items that don't have a price tag beneath them. GRRRRR!!!!!!
Just the thought of fixing that makes me soo happy.
