Title: USB MASS STORAGE????
Post by: cwn723 on February 18, 2008, 05:26:17 PM
hey, i was just wondering if anyone has figured out the software issues for PvPs USB mass storage device....

Nobody that's willing to share, presumably.

everyone is way to greedy...............

if i knew, i would tell anyone. i think that you can use usbhostfs in the irshell of psp and upload the ipodlinux v2 from wiki, making it a host.......

now, just need money to buy the stuff.....

why would someone tell you they can use an ipod as an external hard drive for the psp. and show it working. then not tell you how to do it lol.....what is this gay cyber world coming to.     :psp:

Post by: cwn723 on February 18, 2008, 07:25:55 PM
why wouldnt they tell people? then they would feel proud about themselves as if they acually accomplished something.(which they did, they jsut dont get the feeling  if it isnt warming the hearts of others.)  :cry2:

Since you took the time to go ahead and start this thread, I'd assume you have something to contribute to the project.  Maybe something along the lines of PIC programming, usb host driver developing...anything?  Sounds more like a flame thread where  "I need money to work on my idea" instead of where pvp has been chugging on this at his own accord.  If you really want to help and not flame, pick up PIC programming, learn ipod linux and maybe even borrow an ipod for a day.  All this short sighted talk of "greed" and "pride" is just cheap talk from social leeches.

He's not going to reveal the software he used for a long time, if ever, for free.
I have a few theories as to why, but that'll probably start a huge argument etc. etc.

thats your opinion, pvp has his own reasons for not releasing a tut and thats up to him if he makes a tut or not you cant force him to or hate him coz he hasnt. hes made his POC and shown its not a fake so there is no need for anyone to say anything bad about him at all in my opinion
Title: Re: USB MASS STORAGE????
Post by: ra1n on February 19, 2008, 05:49:04 AM
He might not release it cause there a whole bunch of people who take things to their advantage e.g. pvp's usb mass storage. And plus pvp worked hard on it maybe decided to make money off his hard work, I don't blame him at all for this.

I find it funny that people here always think that the inventors of great projects will just think of themselves, and try to make money. To be honest, if i ever created a great project, and its like a breakthrough, id share it with everyone and make a tut and everything. Its just to give back to what helped through so much.

hey i have figured out alot how to use the usb of the psp for both devices while using a switch i just cant get the wireing straight for theharddrive to psp direct.  i also have engeneers at my job helping me pin out the psp. if there is anyway we could work together to get this mod working please contact me. . i have the psp running irshell and 3.90 M33 i found you can use irshell to brows external hard drive im only missing a usb host file to run on both devices.the device i am using is a microsoft zune. and a psp fat. i also have a backing for the psp i have made that makes it a little bit bigger so i could technically place a usb host chip in the psp. gotta get to work hope to hear from you. sorry i do not have pics but i will as i get closer.

Actually there is a high chance, since he sure doesn't go to college, and does it in his free time, he is doing that whole stuff as a job and has experienced people helping him, while PvP got ..maybe his Prof but nobody else since he hates to work with other people.

im not trying to out do you bro. it is just that i work in a place that has alot of people that know about port config and how to turn devices to a slave with programs using txt editors. I am just filling in the gaps it would be awsome if we could work together on this. i am in the proces of turning the ipod nano into a slave external storage device. if this would help you out in anyway i will give you all the drawings a wire configs.

Peoples
i got the switch figured but i blew a fuse in the power wire in the ipod because the d- and d+ wires need to be crossed i am drawing the blue print for this wire work today at work. SO ALL OF YOU KNOW I am only going to be able to figure out the hardware side of this mod and some software. i need people that know about linux to write a TXT file to run a portconfig that enables the mp3 as a slave device. I am just throwing it out there, time to do some research on usbhost chips that can be wired directly to a external MP3 player. the drawing will be on tonight. if you are knowledgeable on computer boards and relay switches feel free to point out my shortcommings.

99INFERNO

NOTE. when the soldering is done i will post pics of the actual project piece by piece. LOSTKNIGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO TALK TO YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE FIGURED OUT SO I COULD HELP MOVE FORWARD INSTEAD OF FROM SCRATCH.

hillarious how every topic, no matter how big or small ends up in arguments.... some people prefer to work alone...

i guess im like pvp..
when i work, i work differently then others.
i like to take my time and not have to re-do work that is tedious, when im rushed i typically make small mistakes (on the sound mod i swapped the resistors HAHA)

i dont know anything about the USBHOST crap... or driverless stuffs.....
but setting up IRshell to read from your computer is easy...

the best thing to do would be to directly wire into the psp's storage system, ive traced thru the motherboard connector to a chip, ill have to look in notebook to see if i can find a data sheet for the chip... it is simple to find resources on the internet...

in my opinion the best storage would be something internal... INTERNAL OR BUST!


good luck, PvP... if you need any specific parts or something, ill try to help (you dont need to tell me anything about the project)
just dont wannar spend too much monies, but i do have lots of random parts around!

No we don't and never stated we will. Memory stick has a 32gb cap, also if you would have read this thread carefully you would have seen that we still talk about USBHOST and not Memorystick-to-usb-haxing-32gb-cap.

Got software peeps workin on the port config for a 30gb zune and a 4gb ipod i know this is small patatoes but if they port it correctly there will be no need for a usbhost running on the internal hd for the psp. and if they do make the port config work it will also work for bigger harddrives. solid state (IPOD)works the best but a normal hd (ZUNE)will work as well. we found out today that a usbhost would be way to big to keep this portable so we are going the route of a 3way usbhub with a small wire passthrough solder. technically with the port reconfig and usbhub (ran off the power from the Zune and psp) it should work but only one way. from hd to psp not reverse so we can only read info. sorry this is taking so long we are on alot of missions now.

man if it were just software this would be so much easier. it will take 4 things psp, self power hd, a intermediate device, and software. keeping in mind we want this internal and minimal drain on psp battery. and kinda easy so almost everyone can benefit from this mod. so yes there are other ways to do this as simple as a data transfer hard drive but again not internal and not very portable. so you say you only need the sofware. question how did you wire the internal device to the psp while still using the main psp usb port and do you  have to pull the internal device out to charge if so WEAK.

dude i think that has been stated many times on this site i was working on it but i have been really really bussie and have not been home for more than a few hours each day. so i have not gotten any were. it would be a lot better if some PIC geek decided to be nice and not charge an arm and a leg to create the firmware for the PIC.

Post by: nez on March 13, 2008, 01:04:19 AM
just read a little harder we are all tring to figure a way to add any HDD or flash drive to run off the PSP's USB port as if it was like a memorystick but using usbhost to view the hdd either using irshell or another program i used cant remember the name.

Oh i was looking through some of the prx files and stumbled upon the usb commands now it was a little confusing to me but thier may be a way to direct the comands to look at the usb port instead of the memory stick slot. or to direct the usb to run off the usbhost from the xmb direct. on start up.
Title: Re: USB MASS STORAGE????
Post by: cwn723 on March 13, 2008, 01:05:44 PM
ameking, i know  it is any flash drive. the thing is we(or at leasti am) are trying to do this were we can still use the memcard slot. it is pretty much like playing games off a minicomp with an hdd or flash drive as the comps mem. that is why it is through usb.

and for all you asking me how to build it, look at pvps notes, if you dont know what they mean, you shouldnt be doing this mod.

Here we stand i loaded the uclinux for the psp 1.50 kernel this version of linux is bare minimum http://df38.dot5hosting.com/~remember/chris/  look here for the base set up already ready for the psp. second you will need to know a little of linux for this part of the project. follow all instructions from site. once this is loaded us a ir keyboard to interface with the psp. (if you dont know what im talking about please dont ask google it) you have to build your psplinux box up now with other libraries like Uclib and kernal building programs. ( when this gets easy i will write a list this is just where we are with this) once your done here on this step the psp is ready for the internal device to connect. 

NEXT STEP is for all of you : write a prx that directs the umd drive interface to acces the flash drive (we are taking out the umd drive) leave enabled ......................that is as far as i am now have fun see you next month

once you get the linux running and you know linux or unix you will see how much more possible this is. the next step above is the biggie.

I'm not flaming but... Do you know what you are talking about ? You want to connect HDD to UMD? Almost not possible. Unless you can modify firmware ? What uClinux for PSP you want use to ? It is not real linux, just loader. If we are talking about real linux, it should work besides SCEE firmware. All drivers should be written from scratch then.

I dont have any idea about PvP's new project to use any usb drive or flash memory. But I think I would use NSLU2 (linux server), usb host chip, two slots - one for hdd, second for USB cable. Make usbhostfs run on start, then you're set. Extract mobo, put it in UMD drive hole, and thats it :)

I'm not sure about it, but why wouldn't it work if you have USB host device with normal linux?

about fricken time some one put up some fight lol--- ok the point of uclinux is to build a kernal in the psp enviroment second..have not tried to run server (use it at work sucks)  second half of this is shooting in the dark trial and error ......and for you to know the uclinux is a base linux program that is capible of running and making linux kernals.

i do not want the actual umb ribbon to plug into the hdd i want in the menu for umd to acces hardrive... my last post was a little scketchy but hey i have no time just workin for the man lol and i will look into the server bit thanks for the direction

about fricken time some one put up some fight lol--- ok the point of uclinux is to build a kernal in the psp enviroment second..have not tried to run server (use it at work sucks)  second half of this is shooting in the dark trial and error ......and for you to know the uclinux is a base linux program that is capible of running and making linux kernals.

i do not want the actual umb ribbon to plug into the hdd i want in the menu for umd to acces hardrive... my last post was a little scketchy but hey i have no time just workin for the man lol and i will look into the server bit thanks for the direction

uClinux is a special linux that can run on embedded systems without MMU.
If you want to change UMD icon in xmb you have to edit firmware (very good asm and RE knowledge, imho). IrShell will be better, or other.

BTW. iPodLinux doesnt have working usb drivers currently... So might forget about iPodLinux + usbhostfs. Amirite?

YOU are right i pod sucks for linux but the flash drive inside is what im using. irshell has been the best idea so far for the psp for linking the two but you cant script on irshell so back to uclinx i can develop on psp for my needs.

you can put linux on everything except my cereal

okay it is kinda hard but not that hard to change the root directory of the umd drive button in the xmb to go to the HDD. If one the HDD is hooked up to the usb port.

Why do i say this is because you can take the code from the camera prx and implement it in place of the umd.

 or you can edit the vshmain.prx to search for the usb mode camera prx, and edit the camera prx to run an app like usbiso loader.(you can change the root directory of the share button to any app) so the umd can also be changed)

 but you need an app like irshell or usbisoloader to recognize the contents on the hdd. 

or you need to find some one that is skilled in hex editing and right a code that takes the usbhost.prx and makes it load on the xmb under every catagory that uses the MS
.under the memorystick of all five menus.
ex. pictures icon> psp looks for  usb>camera/usbhost>hdd>photo instead of MS>photo.

each prx for the photo music movies and games will have to be redirected to the usb port using usbhost telling them to go to their folders. no diff from what they do know just direct them to look to usb port instead of the MS, and have them use usbhost.

that is all irshell is doing just need to implement it over to the flash0 by adding tasks on to the prx's.

I am sure if you have enough of the programing done on the PIC to make it sound convincing that Dark Alex and Freeplay or redsquirl or some of the other pll that mess around with the flash0 will help you they are very kind and will help if their is dedication that is proven.

i mess around with it more often and am starting to learn that you can change a whole lot. oh and ppl that do themes know a lot about prx and rco's they are help full too. consolspot is good to check at. just know what you are asking.

ive been working with some peoplr from vinculum, and i need to make some money, then ill go into R&D. i know most of how to do this now, just need to test and get the kinks out of it. how awesome would it be to have a 160gb hd in there?

and by the way... why are you guys trying to get somthing for the XMB when we dont even have this thing working yet, or do you guys?
Title: Re: USB MASS STORAGE????
Post by: nez on March 28, 2008, 01:02:22 PM
Well you really do not need the PIC part working to get the xmb going. It is better to start now because it will take some time to change and edit it all. Thier might be a way to add another setting in the VSHmenu.

We still can test it on the computer it will do the same thing mostly. and we can have the XMB done when the PIc part is done.

So where are we with getting a HDD on the PSP?
I have kept all the schematics that PVP provided, and am capable of building the circuit - but is it some firmware for the PIC that we need?
I know that PVP has also dissapeared  :dntknw:
Also getting the XMB to work first is wrong, if we build the circuit and get that working we can always monitor the output from the VDIP to see if its working correctly, then work on intergrating it into the XMB.
Perhaps this was a big fake all along  :confused:

Has anyone ever taken a PSP camera apart? looking at the circuit in there could give us quite a big clue into getting the HDD working, as the camera is obviously a host.

Hi just wanted to give my opinion.

Im a complete noob to modding and i havent built this yet but from what ive read from pvp notes aswell as anything i could find about the module on the net.

I think this mod is very much possible to do but there are many probs to it. The prob is the other chip like the pic mentioned by gameking and the atmega88 by pvp. Now this chip monitors the whole thing and its by this chip you can get everything to work. However the next step is the stumbling block. I think gameking is right in saying that we need the xmb or something like that to run the whole thing but what i think is more important is how do we get the psp to send commands to the monitor chip as this is where i cannot find anything about the system on the net.

Now since i havent made this i havent asked vinculum about how to program it so can anyone whos got further help?

I know that this system can work but its the other chip that makes it work so you need the psp to interface with the other chip which is maybe why theres been some talk about porting usbhost to the chip

I know i kinda just said whats already been said but i hope that helps anybody doing this mod.

Post by: nez on March 29, 2008, 05:34:47 PM
man why irshell xmb plug in would be the best to top off this mod. Just need some help on hex editing some stuff and it will work.

whats goin on fellas
so i have been at school for a couple months  :faint: now im back. and i am hopeing to pick up where i left off this weekend. did anyone else get anyfurther on this project.

i had a question if anyone knows about openldap servers (linux). they can be really small like 4 GB and can be set to run auto programs when power is turned on.and they can be used to talk to many os types including win/mac/unix/linux. i think this could work.

idea. get
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
need to try to install the libraries for "openLDAP" to include dependencies then set up a domain tree but use the psp as ldap user. and set up openldap server. find out what we dont for this project and uninstall it from the linux Thumbdrive. need set the chconfig in the linux for auto run when power is turned on. (this is a idea need to r&d) it a little

make psp a user in this server using the mac address of the psp

now since the base of both of these will be booting a linux kernal they should see each other and the psp will have acess to the data base. the only problem with this idea is the wireing will have to be done totally different.

i will be starting this pendrive to Openldap project this week i will keep you updated.......in the end if the openldap server works on the thumb drive then there should be no problem linking the two.

here is to hopeing

99INFERNO hey your back i just got done with my semester have a whole foure weeks off before i have the summer classes start of for 6 weeks ya.
but any ways i will look in to this linux distro to see what it can do. and i am not sure but is the usbhostfs been ported over to linux i know it hasn't for the IPL but if not e may be able to get it to work with wine. but i would scrape the whole usbhostfs and re program another program to allow for more flexibility aoutstart feature wen power is added to the hdd (might have to ad a few other chips and all to do this but it may be worth th while i just need to get a good group of ppl that have a good bassis on programing.) but i just read your little blurb that it support diff os's so i still think makeing a new one to support faster transfer more open of HDD discovery and integrating it in to the XMB whould be the cream of the cake there are some knew apps that will do what the irshell does but in the XMB out if i am not mistaken i not 100% sure if they are rummers or not but i have been kinda busy with finals and all so dont quote me.
i am glad to ere some one els going at this again but thoer is some one els just started but they have no idea what the just got them selves in to lol any th strong mined will survive.
man i need to take the stupid test to test out of some ITS class that is point less so i can take a programing class. i hate prerequisite  they are a waste of time and money.
well if you need any help just ask.

USBhost has been ported to linux, so you can use that but you might to to reprogram it anyway for the reasons that you have stated

that is awsome man ....i wish you worked where i do we have PIC programers just laying around we have whole software engeneering dept. would you like to share what you have so far so i could maybe help with some steps.

also are you saying for sure your almost there....should we not waste our time on this openladp linux idea???????

man i knew i wasn't crazy and saw something ha. sweet

hey inferno i think that linux opoenladp is great idea it can be made just as a usbhost and nothing more meaning a size of less then 5mb at the most. because all the interface goodies would be gone and only the core program would be needed so it should be small and very effective. and very customizable to add future mods on the psp cough cough hybird maby with keyboard.

it would be better cwn732 and inferno you both got your ideas and stuff swaped so you can finish this. and you can make your own pic programmer for penny's on the dollar get most of the parts as samples and the rest cheap. there are many tuts flying around the internet every easie to find.

i'm pretty sure the whole building process is a lot more complicated than you make it seem. didn't pvp work on it for a long time before releasing it? come back to us in a couple months when you have a working model

not to be a bearer of bad news but the chance of you guys succeeding is quite low. many people on many forums have tried making this and only one has done it. the only way to do it is to ask the original maker.

I knew a guy, the smartest guy I have ever met, that went by the last name Calderon. He made a external drive work by writing a bunch of psp software and using a IPOD file transfer device to play UMD images off of his external drive. he did this last February though and I haven't seen him or talked to him in over a year. He is the guy you need.

Hey guys
could there be a way to find the file system on a 8 gb prostick duo and copy that to a small HD because shown here is the way to install a second memory stick. watch the first video. if it is possible then we could connect the hd the same way this is. except the hd would have to be self powered.
