How to install Windows Vista (sort of) on a PSP.

This Instructable will show you how to install a Windows Vista-styled Portal on a PSP system. The process described will work, however, for any other portal you may like to install. .

A portal is basically a set of webpages that are saved as HTML files to your memory stick. Therefore they open in the PSP's Internet browser, yet run offline. In this example, the pages are styled like Windows Vista, although this particular portal comes with an option to use a Windows XP theme as well. You may be interested to know that not all portals are designed to look like an OS. Some have an original design.

Please note that YOU DO NOT NEED CUSTOM FIRMWARE for this to work. It will work on any PSP software, as long as it has the Internet browser option (system software 2.00 upwards). If you do happen to have custom firmware (as do I) it will work just as well.

Please also note that this is not an official Microsoft product (as you probably will have guessed) , but it is completely legal and will not harm your PSP in any way.

Step 1 What you will need:

You will need:

1) a PSP (duh!)
2)PSPWVISTA 1.7 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W65KIHL8

In what folder on the memory stick is the index.html file?

[GavG93]

once you have installed this operating system how do you remove it? and also in the vista mode how do you access the UMD? is it just under start > my computer > (name of game) ??

[samwhiteUK]

It is simply some files on your memory stick that run in the web browser. You can exit to the normal XMB like you would if you were browsing any other site. As for removing it, quit the browser, enter USB mode, and delete the files.

You can't play the UMD in Vista mode, you just quit the browser and play it normally.

To be honest, nothing. It won't do anything that you can't do normally. It's just pretty cool.

[chrisw92]

of course it will work on any psp system including the psp go.

oh and by the way the newest download is a blazebyte.org (pspwxp is no longer in production but other products such as pspwvista and a full recode called gnextop are also avaible)

[godofal]
