I am satisfied enough with Ubuntu Linux on PSP, and now I want to have Windows on it. Then I found this site, and download the file to my PC (we can put it anywhere). I extracted and copied folder “pspwxp” to my memory stick, at folder named office (we may copy it anywhere). I ignored readme.txt and install.exe because my PC run Linux. Then, opened web browser and typed “file:/office/pspwxp/index.htm”. Finally, I have windows on my beloved PSP.

Below are screenshots of Vista/XP portal on my PSP:

Emulating Linux on PSP

Been using Linux on PC for long, I was curious to have it on my PSP and IPAQ. For now, I want to put in on my PSP. I gathered information from internet and found several sources. I chose and applied a method from http://aruljohn.com/info/pspubuntu/

It’s enjoyable to have this Linux emulated on my PSP. If only it were in English, I could’ve used it more easily. I still hope that someday there will be real fully functioned Linux (not emulation) ported on PSP. Or may be there’s already been.

Here are screenshots of Ubuntu linux on my PSP:

To be easier to explain and understand tips, tricks, tutorial, program, etc, I often take screenshots of my PSP, pocket pc, linux OS, and symbian OS. Other devices also have built-in screenshot functionality. Here I just want to show software download links and their screenshots on my devices. The download sites will teach you how to install and use the software.

1. PSP Screencapture

2. Linux Mint 9 (it has built-in screenshot application)

3. PPC IPAQ Screenshot

To tell the truth, I was worried what I did would cause my Ipaq broken. What if either my notebook or my Ipaq freeze (hang) in the middle of upgrade process. But I was eager to do the ROM upgrade. In case the worst case happened, I still have a chance to fix it later.

Here’s the upgrade step :

1. Downloaded ROM Update Utility from HP support site.

2. Connected Ipaq to computer throuh USB (do not use usb hub!).

3. ActiveSync on both devices was automatically activated.

4. Backup data to SD card.

4. Run the downloaded utility and followed the instruction indicated on the computer.

5. Ipaq soft reset.

6. Restored data back to Ipaq.

I was glad that the process run smoothly and my Ipaq ROM was updated as seen below :

I Put Linux on USB Flash Drive

There are many benefits of having linux live usb, and also several ways to have this convenient OS installed in USB (flash drive and HDD).

Let say my friend or neighbour is in trouble with his computer. Some files are needed immediately while the computer can not load its system. He merely know how to operate, not knowing how to repair it when it is in trouble. No backup files, no time to reinstall the system. Here I can help him by plugging my linux live usb to his computer’s usb port. Power on pc, setup BIOS for usb first booting sequence, then linux will load and I can browse and copy his needed files.

I can bring my preferred operating system, applications, configuration, and personal files along with me wherever I go. If I visit my friend without bringing my notebook, I can borrow his computer but will not use the installed OS. Instead, I will use my own linux live usb.

Many other benefits that readers may have in addition to what I mention above. Please feel free to share.

Different from live CD version, the live usb has the ability to save settings and  to install software packages permanently. The data contained can be changed by addition and deletion . Live usb also operates faster than live CD.However, for older computers that do not have a USB booting BIOS, we have to use the live CD.

Various applications exist to create live usb. Below are links to download the application which works with a variety of linux distributions.

For single booting :

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
http://www.linuxliveusb.com/

For multi booting (many linux distros put on one USB flash drive):

Hopefully, it will be useful to you.
