Question: could the psp do something similar?įact: the psp can hook directly to a running comp. enough introduction.įact: new laptops can now boot an operating system off of a usb. my hope is that my ignorance and newbie-ism can be beneficial. I’m new to the psp mod arena and don’t understand as much as many others. I keep coming back to this page to see if it has been demystified…but until someone puts out i am sticking to my first response that this is garbage. The psp itself…even if you gutted the UMD drive and a few other components, it would still be like the to stuff Oprah into Anne Heche. The power…it would eat the 2600mh battery alive Unless this guy is powering his drive, and i don’t think it would matter if it was SSD or HDD, then it should drain the power on the PSP in about 20 minutes(or something). The PSP can use the USB as an expansion port for peripherals, but it can’t (to the best of my knowledge) put out the power the run my pocket sized wd passport. I have tried connecting my 160GB WD Passport drive (it is powered through USB) and guess what…nothing happens. Using IRShell or M33 you can access a Hard Drive on another computer as a guest device (as you and a few other people pointed out) but you CANNOT directly connect to a USB drive. Its called USB host in the PSP firmwares and add-on but they DO NOT make your PSP a host device. I hope to find some replies from here, since i originally posted to another forum, receiving around 400 views but no replies.I was wrong about the usb host…well more confused then wrong mostly because i haven’t used USB host for such a long time or very often. Okay! Any help with the issue would be much appreciated, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. Tried looking in the Device Manager: No PSP, nor 'USB Storage device' (Or something along those lines) with an exclamation mark show up.Tried switching between Flash0, Flash1, Flash2 etc.Tried bending the cable and moving it around.The cable worked on Windows 7, and it worked with Media Go as well.I know my cable can transmit both data and power. I've tried multiple cables, they all have the same result.(I didn't install that CFW myself, so i don't have experience on that) So, my issue is that whenever i connect a USB cable to my PSP, I get a screen that says 'Please wait.' and it won't go away. Hey! So, i'm sure this has been asked before, but I've tried all of the solutions I've seen so far, and none of them worked.
