You might think I've gone bonkers. But bear with me here, I'm not kidding. A lucky find by my friend MaTiAz seems to point towards some form of VoIP functionality in upcoming firmwares. This reference to Skype is hidden in the decrypted version of vshmain.prx from Firmware 3.10, basically the latest firmware if you don't count 3.11. Nobody has yet checked the presence of its reference in the latest firmware (3.11) but it's most probably there since not much has changed between the two firmwares. |

Sounds good. Hope this comes to life...
Wow thats interesting to hear
i like skype
YAY Skype
and First POST
nope you were second!! HAHA
How can you think your first when your clearly in second???????? God your an IDIOT
cool
Oh well 2nd Anyway
But um Skype on PSP WOW!
man, that would own.
Now only if i had a microphone :P
I am sony . I say Upgrade to use this! Forget your homebrew when we release this. why wait 1 Week for DarK_AleX to crack the firmware Upgrade NOW!!!!
LoL
Oh I guess you didn't hear, the cracked 3.5 will be out tomorrow.
Yep, this is cool but how Its gonna work?
I think PSP need constant WiFi connection with internet and headphones with microfone
But how we can get permament WiFi internet?
Thats no way until the hotspots wiil be on every corner...
if only the screenshot was a bit bigger so we could actually read the stuff ._.
Try clicking on it. lol
did that, only gives me a 102% version of the thumbnail :P
once u click the image. there is another small button you click for a full screen.. version
I donīt want skype. I want a Keyboard and MSN!!! I want to be able to write (fast) on Web Browser and on MSN/ICQ!
Using AFKIM and the infrared keyboard that has been developed and being updated, you'll get your chance. voIP is definately sweet, so don't change the subject. I'm not the one who rated you down so low.
How do you get AFKIM working on 3.03OE-A' I cant get it to work..
What's Skype?
._.
skype is a program that allows you to use your computer sort of like a phone and call other peoples computers who also have skype... go to www.skype.com and download it and try it out they have some games now u can play with your friends while talkin to them like checkers and stuff
This sounds promosing. Surely sony wouldnt put it in way before its released because it would give away everything long before everyone is supposed to know.
I searched my vshmain.prx and can't find it... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place... mines directly from 3.10 oe...
You have to decrypt it. Dump the PSAR with PBP unpacker or something and then use C+D's psardumper mod to decrypt the files.
vous etes des trou de cu. des petits cons! moi j'ai deja skype sur ma psp et ca marche tro mal. lol
ORLY? Sure you already have it on psp, maybe the reason que "ca marche tro mal." is that youre Lying. its one thing copying the skype exe to your memorystick, its another actually running it.
so now its a *****ing laptop
1st - PSP ROCKS
2nd - Skype... not so rocks, but it's a fine app to use with voip functionality
3rd - YOUR PSP already has a microphone, try activating the camera while your psp is plugged to the PC and you shoul see it will say USB PSP audio device, the chotto shot doesn't have a mic built-in but uses the one on psp
Then tell me where the built-in microphone on the PSP is. There is no built-in microphone. You would need a camera or a headset compatible with the PSP.
Dude, are you sure that the Chotto doesn't have a mic built in or are you guessing. I've never heard anything about a mic being built into the PSP and a million people have gone over the hardware mm by mm.
The reason it says USB PSP audio device when you activate the camera is because the *usb driver* for the camera is on the PSP firmware itself and not on the camera attachment. Its only your PC finding the driver on the PSP and not the actual microphone. Go ahead and try recording something with it.
Why do you think games like "Talkman" come with a USB mic?
What's that little thing on the side of the Chotto Shot? By any chance, is it a little mic, with the letters M, I and C by it? Please research this kind of thing before posting anything like that again
psp isnt console.... its a mini PC!
yes the psp has a buit in microphone if you look below the psp screen there are 2 small holes. if you play music no sounds comes from it and im sure those holes are there for a reason.
Yeah, their there to let air in behind the speakers, because it would sound terrible if the sound was just coming out of the two little holes with no air output.
i do use chotto and i can confirm you that it has mic on it
ok, first off, the psp doesn't have any built in mic at all, hence why you need to buy a headset to talk in socom ftb 1 and 2
and 2nd i have a chotto shot camera and it has a mic, it's on the side, it even says mic
that being said, i dunno, but when they released the chotto shot they mentioned something about skype video or something, kinda cool, though it might lag like hell
umm.. no. those are NOT mics. im pretty sure of that. and, for the microphone part, you can just use the SOCOM HEADSETS.
i would prefere SIP support instead of the crappy proprietary protocol from Skype
SIP is free (as in talk)
Free software rules
skype is free genius
Hey, mister genius.. Tenshu didn't mean free as in money. He meant free as in closed/open source. Like Firefox is free, and Internet Explorer isn't. Both don't cost any money, but one of them, Firefox, is free.
Implementing SIP would mean that practically any PC with any OS, and any hackable device with enough hardware and community support (as in coders working on an implementation of SIP on any given device) would be able to talk to the PSP. With Skype instead of SIP, this won't be true...
Next time, Cube, think before actually typing something..... Sigh...
"Implementing SIP would mean that practically any PC with any OS, and any hackable device with enough hardware and community support (as in coders working on an implementation of SIP on any given device) ....."
You mean a hackable device like the PSP?
Why not let Sony do all the hard work and put Skype on our PSPs, release the required hardware, get everyone using it, and let the homebrew guys work on the SIP?
Do you really think a company like Sony, that imposes its standards in every form of media it's involved in, would go for an open protocol?
if you have 3.03 OE-C and have a dumped copy of 3.10 OE-A, try throwing the 3.10 OE-A topmenu_plugin on your OE-C. notice how there is now TWO network icons instead of one. adding a new place to scroll to with no name or sub-icons within the list. maybe there will be more than just Skype if they made an entire new section of network. (this also explains why we cant customize the icons in 3.10+)
i use skype to send texts (sms) messages, but without a voip telephone its just like msn from pc to mobile....thats how i reckon this will turn out.
i got that with ebuddy link as my online manual plugin ;-)
Incase some of u didnt know, skype is no longer free (after dec 31 06) Its now $15 a year.
But skype on psp... :D
i think skype to skype calls are still free
Won't happen for 3 reasons
1)$ony cant port Skype to the psp b/c the Mylo has it...If you know $ony then you will understand why they wont do it.
2)Skype wont do it. Lets face it, if $ony released the Skyped fw, it would most likely be decrypted in a matter of hours. Skype cant have that. The idea of an at least 40k member community getting free skype mins scares them like DAX scares $ony.
3.Skype is a complicated program. The several antidebug threads+I/O+wifi+codec= a technological nightmare.
It's likely that PSP and Mylo share some codebase. It wouldn't make much sense to code all the features they have in common twice. So this probably doesn't mean anything at all.
The security checks happen on Skype's side, not on your computer or your psp... your point 2) doesn't make sense at all. Decrypting a plugin doesn't mean you'll be able to get free calls, otherwise people would have tried to descramble the skype executable file for windows. It is obvious that the checkes are done on a server owned by skype, not on your PSP...
Skype is free to call other Skype Users FREE if your calling phones from skype you still have to pay for the skype minutes Decrypted FW or not numbnuts
