access the web through wipeout

[Guest monkeybusiness]

For those who want to browse websites on their PSP, mozy, roto and others have already figured out the hack, see hackaday:

the new psp game wipeout pure apparantly comes with a full featured web browser that is used to download updates. normally it’s restricted for that purpose alone, but roto sent me a line this morning saying that it could be hacked to function as a general web browser with a little dns trickery.

The blood and guts of how this was done is available at this mirror site. However, for those who own Wipeout Pure, already, Agret comments on Slashdot that:

Someone has already kindly setup a portal for all you people who want to view this without setting up a DNS server or from any access point. You can see his portal with your web browser (computer) here: http://67.171.70.72/wipeout/index.html

To use this on your PSP simply set your DNS to 67.171.70.72 inside the network settings then go into Wipeout Pure and hit Download.
