IPOD as Mass Storage?
« on: April 03, 2008, 06:29:15 PM »
I have a hacked PHAT PSP with 32mb card,and a 4th gen 20gb click wheel IPOD. Is there a way for me to use it as a mass storage device for my media,games,etc? I just wanna drag and drop my PC files on there and be able to access them.

not really but maybee you should check out the internal hard drive project and see about taking your hard drive out of it and putting it in your psp.

That "Program" is just USB host from the app "IRShell". Google IRShell and download it to your PSP. I don't know anything about Ipod HD's, but if you connect it to the PSP's USB port, you can do what he did.

1) he told everyone in his last reply that he also used a PCB board.
2) you cannot use the USBhost from IRSHELL because neither the PSP or iPOD can be a host.

What he did was put the internal of a iPOD into the UMD slot and then attatched the iPOD hard drive to a PCB board with a chip attached to trick the PSP into thinking it was a HOST computer. He also said he is working on making the PSP the HOSt. If you google any of this you'll see that no one has been able to make the PSP or iPOD into a HOST. They would have to run the USBhostFS.exe which PSP cannot,and Linux cannot run a PC Executable.

just as dunpeal said, except he is not using he whole ipod, just the HDD. The board is either VDIP1 or VDIP2 from vinculum. these boards have a USB host ic embedded in them. you must monitor this to the MCU or a CPU to send comands to the VNC1L embedded on the VDIP1 or 2. Without the monitored MCU or CPU, the whole device loses host functionality. using the VDIF firmware, which you must flash to the device. I was working with Vinculum for a while, and we almost have it u and running. they are helping me out, because when i tried it all, i could see the files through IRshell, but not access them.

ya thats thats hard part get the files read. but the other part is having it read at a fast enough pace to run games and music and movies off of. usbhostfs has a problem of not running fast enough and compatible with some games and operations.

They would have to run the USBhostFS.exe which PSP cannot,and Linux cannot run a PC Executable.

I do agree that the Key here is the PCB - I've seen in the pics.  I'm 100% positive that the chip on the PCB was flashed with the necessary code to interface with IRShell as Flash0.  As for Linux not being able to run a M$DOS exicutable - Not exactly. There are 2 possible scenarios there.  the USBhostFS.exe also comes with the source code and can easily be compiled into a Linux binary, or you could use wine (although hardly practical to emulate windows in this case)

The fact of the matter is that PVP was not honest, and that was faked (or he had good intentions and jumped the gun).  I'm sure he jumped the gun on what he was talking about.  I'd say this is a UFO sighting and got everyone's hopes up, even mine.  I'm 100% sure that it's possible to add a hdd to the PSP we just all have to be willing to take the sucker apart and try!

So I challenge you all to stop asking questions and figure it out.  Give a man a fish and he will eat for a night, teach that man how to fish and he will eat for a life time.


this pertains to the other posters:

for future reference's   and hard drive is abbreviated as HDD (hard disk drive) NOT HD's or HD

everyone was sooo dumb, and was being mean to Pvp that he left again. besideds, if someone either:
1. donates me like 60 bucks
                or
2. sells me a super cheap psp with custom firmware(doesnt have to read disks or have wifi, etc.)
 
and i should be able to have a up and running version of it.
