How to browse the web with PSP
Wipeout Pure has a download feature, presumably to download additional game content in the future. It uses a simplified HTML browser to access and dowload this content. Right now, there is nothing to download, just a placeholder image on their webserver.
The PSP allows you to set all the wireless networking parameters, including the DNS server. Normally, when any DNS server does a lookup for
https://ingame.scea.com/wipeout/index.html where the download content will be in the future, it returns the real address for that server.
If you have a wireless 802.11b network connected to the internet, you can configure your PSP to use it from the Network settings menus. This will let you update the system software from the settings menus, but there is no update available yet and it will tell you so.
If you have your own DNS server on your wireless network, you can configure that DNS server to return any address you want for ingame.scea.com. This will send the browser in Wipeout Pure to whatever address you want.
If you have your own webspace, you can create a /wipeout/index.html page on it with links to whatever you like. The result is that whenever you go to the Downloads feature in Wipeout Pure, the browser will go where your own DNS sends it because your DNS isn't looking up the real address.
There are many ways to achieve the same results, and how your jome network is set up affects many of them. But the basic steps are the same:
0. Have a copy of Wipeout Pure.
1. Have a 802.11b compatible wireless network.
2. Have a way to control DNS lookups for ingame.scea.com.
3. Have some other webserver address to direct to.
The ONLY changes you need to make on your PSP are for the DNS server. Point it to one that returns what you want instead of the scea.com domain and that's the whole hack.
