Play YouTube videos on your PSP with PSPtube! - Image 1

Japanese PSP homebrew developer SofiyaCat came up with an application that allows users to play Youtube videos without having to convert or host the files using a computer, known as PSPtube!. Do note though that this is not an FLV player as it actually play videos directly from the said site.

We really can't understand Japanese but it's a good thing QJ.NET loyal reader and forum member a0dki11s had a correspondence with the owner of the application and got these details:
  • You need a Developer ID, and put it on the psptube.cfg
  • Download the PSPTube20070805.zip on the link provided
  • If you are in CFW look in the zip for a folder named over 200
  • Drag the "psptube" to the GAME folder in your CFW (BTW I'm currently on 3.51 M33)
  • Open the psptube folder and edit the "psptube.cfg" file (using notepad)
  • Look for the line dev_id = "" inside the parenthesis if you have a YouTube developer account, type the username there.
  • Save it and start youtubing
Regarding the developer account for YouTube, a0dki11s also provided a step-by-step process on how to make one over at QJ.Net's PSP development forum. Aside from that, a key map has also been provided. PSPtube! has its own Readme file, so make sure you go over that. Going over at the forum link below is also advisable.

GAIJIN is a japanese word for FOREIGNER, eg not japanese native which is NIHONJIN.
this word is used in the movie fast and furious tokyo drift. its the word used by the antagonist but the protagonist misunderstood as calling him something like swear or stupid or whatever. it is not, it just simply means "foreigner"

I got through the developer ID & network settings, but once I select a video, it gives a black screen saying "Buffering" and to "please wait". The audio & video percentages don't move up a whit, even for what's supposed to be short 30 second clips.

when on custom firmware dont use the game150 because for somereason the connection is not detected there so put the app in the game folder and make sure if you have 2 or more connections the main one is 1st because thats the connection the app will use.

AFTER A WHILE I GOT IT WORKING AND I GOTTA ADMIT THIS APP IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! TOO BAD ITS IN ALPHA ONE IMPROVEMENT THEY CAN MAKE IS ALLOWING YOU TO VIEW THE PICTURE OF THE CLIP BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD OTHER AND ADD SOME MORE CONTROL OVER THE VIDEO. OTHER THAN THAT THIS THING WILL STAY IN MY MEMORY STICK!
