At last, SUN lets Peejay's rays shine upon us as they have now opened it up for download! It took a good month and a half, but hey, they finally did it! And dickydick1969 must be helluva proud! Of course, you guys must have done a good job as well, persuading SUN to allow this release.

As initially announced, Peejay can start Java on your PSP. And now, you can download it right here. Right now. However, this is just the text (console output only) kvm targetted on Java devs. But what the heck, we're sure you're in store for boatloads of fun! As for the full-fledged midp 2.0 binary, dickydick1969 says he's still busy working on it.

What?! You dont know what Peejay is for, well let this lingering words from dickydick1969 remind you: "Yep, I made a small port of the j2me (K)VM, making my PSP capable of running JAVA programs.. It was a very easy port…. as the Sun KVM is easy to port."

Alrighty, then! Enough of the chat and get the party started!

Thanks for the heads up, Colinlokz!

Update: In our hurry, we forgot to give out the link to Sun's developer site. It is now included in the article. Our apologies for the mistake.

The latest entry in our PiMP man's blog reads "Introducing PeeJay!" We knew that our friend was working on something, but he kept us all in the dark. Well, the cat is out of the bag today. The PiMP man just emailed us a few hours ago to unveil this project which he he had been working on for the last few weeks.

Since DickyDick personally mailed us to let us in on this piece of news; and now, we'll be unveiling DickyDick's latest creation: Java on the PSP!

The developer was very enthusiastic about this.

"PeeJay? Yeah PeeJay..! Or call it Psp Java, PimpJava … Java for ur psp! Yep, I made a small port of the j2me (K)VM, making my PSP capable of running JAVA programs.. It was a very easy port…. as the Sun KVM is easy to port. It was done in a jiffy."

The PiMP man was also kind enough to show us a video of his port in action. You can download it below. Unfortunately, that's the only available download here. Where's the application? Well, DickyDick1969 has been unable to release this since he did not get permission from Sun, the creators of Java. Here's what he had to say:

"So why not sharing the stuff ?? (giving you a download link for example…) It’s sad… :-( :-(

I asked SUN for permission for distributing my port and they said I could not (yet) distribute it for some (not to mention here) reasons. At least not now.."

What he also said is that all of you can persuade Sun Microsystems to allow this to be released. So you might want to visit Sun's developer site to give them your feedback about allowing the release of PimpJava. You'll never know - they might just hear you.
