yeah i built a wooden holster then cleaned up the edges. then sprayed it with wood coat. then bought some fabric to match the car seat then just glued it on to the wood. turned out pretty good. Its just covering my HU. theres a gap between the HU and the edges.

Zoinks! Its a DVD player that works in park or drive without modificationi!
How can it be a DVD player if it doesn't play DVDs?

Incredibly pointless.

You can watch UMD movies in the PSP. Mostly every new movie that comes out will have a UMD release.

wow, really nice! i wanted to do something like that with my psp, just not sure if i have enough initiative to do it. for now, i use it to play mp3's through my hu.

and yeah, you can buy umd movies (http://www.buy.com/retail/searchresults.asp?search_store=4&querytype=video_dvd&format=16&qu=UMD&SearchEngine=google&Type=51705&Keyword=UMD+movies&Category=Videos&dcaid=16009) or use http://www.pspvideo9.com/ to convert your own movies (aka porn) to psp format and dump 'em to your memory card!

so with the psp like that and if it's hooked up to your speakers and power, you have a portable mp3 player, movie player, image viewer and a web browser (if you know of the wipeout hack) for your car! and then when you take it out, you have your psp player and emulator player (kxploit) as well. all this for $250+. so to call it "pointless" is, well, naive to say the least...

How did u get web browser in your psp icdedppl?
yeah, i know the link sounds funny, but go here: http://www.ridingtheclutch.com/entry.cfm?id=51

first, you must have wipeout: pure for your psp as it is the only usa game right now to have a browser built in.

second, go to the link i provided you above and it will walk you through on how to add another network connection to get this to work.

last, start up your wipeout: pure and go to the downloads section and select the new network connection you made.

and i use this site cos they allow you to make your own login and portal links! otherwise you just have to use what other people make. although, if you want to host your own, you can: http://www.pspfanclub.com/pspextra/tut/wipeoutmoopsguide.php

and yeah, your setup looks good. i took my psp out to my car to see what i could do. not sure if there is anything i can make that will work, but there are some window mounts and such that i might try eventually. right now i'm content in just using it as an mp3 player for my car.

I was pointing out it doesn't play DVDs. It doesn't. UMDs are not DVDs.

Still pointless.

It has its pros and cons. While you can watch movies on the PSP, you would have to buy the movie twice to watch it in your house on DVD and in the PSP with UMD. It's not pointless, but it's a nice mod.

no, you don't have to buy it twice. as long as you have a larger memory card, you buy the dvd once for your house and use a video conversion tool and transfer it to the card and play it from there. there is a free tool you can use to do that: http://www.pspvideo9.com/

thats neat but whats stopping it from falling out? whats holding the wood down and whats holding the PSP to the wood? and how do u have it hooked up to ur speakers??

Dakine

There's actually a gap between the tip of the HU outline and the actual HU. The PSP is held on by precision cutting so its a snug fit for the PSP and the fabric i use add's more grip. Right now, its not hooked up to the speakers. I plan on drilling a hole on the earphone socket of the box and installing it as a aux input. Kinda like the ipod install people are doing except PSP.

Pointless?

PsP will soon have a GPS addon, coupled with the 3 1g chips and the new 4g PsP HD I picked up I now have 4g of MP3s and 2g of Movies ready to run at any time.

And yes you can do it all with an I-POD.. but you cant play Prince of Persha -Revalations, Appleseed the movie, and then play Heavy Gear as you chill out at a car show.

That with some of the new adds ons they are planing for the PsP (live Vid-Out addon) 5g flash memory cards by next year... and the new 50g PsP hard drive in the works...the PsP can and will be one of the best things to dock in your car.

so how big is a regular dvd? i have a gig card but haven't tried to put a movie that i have on there yet. i do have pspvideo9 and i have only done a couple of short clips but not a full lenth movie

good question...

that happened from the recent re-org of the forums.

before the re-org there was only on ICE forum reguardless of model...

when the re-org happened most of the stuff happened to go to xA and xB.

WTH!! Dead Thread came back to life holy crap. Well yes it was a bored mod and who cares if its ghetto, i didnt make it to look cool. My avic does the job and i didnt want to lose the playstation effect with the psp so i dropped in a slim ps2 in my glove.
