i know it is an open source!!!!

i have frind that want to port it to the psp he start to work on it

but i want to opinion ???

**muratcan** · 04-30-2006, 07:13 AM

There's a firefox portable for PDA's I think I wonder if it would be possible to port that? The PSP Radio plugin browser is wicked though nonetheless!

**FinalBoss** · 04-30-2006, 07:17 AM

the link2 browser is good but the firefox could be better

**PopcOrn DeVil** · 04-30-2006, 07:27 AM

links2 browser is the best you're gonna get for quite a while.

**torchzack** · 04-30-2006, 07:33 AM

you need the source code to port don't you?

I wouldn't have thought firefox's source code was released

Source is released for firefox. I wonder why it hasn't been looked into...

**ghostENVY** · 04-30-2006, 07:38 AM

well maybe firefox can be ported but you will need a mastermind to accompishh that

**PopcOrn DeVil** · 04-30-2006, 07:43 AM

Dam I'm a mindmaster...

**ghostENVY** · 04-30-2006, 07:45 AM

that works too

**mnky** · 04-30-2006, 07:48 AM

well, it needs to use wifi, which could be a complication...anyone know the system requirments?

**AnonymousTipster** · 04-30-2006, 07:50 AM

The firefox source code is MASSIVE, and sometimes relies on non-open source plugins, such as Flash. Firefox tends to bloat seeing as it's designed for desktops - it's using 31MB just viewing this page!
It almost certainly wouldn't work on the PSP.

**will1234** · 04-30-2006, 07:58 AM

No. Just no.

**ghostENVY** · 04-30-2006, 08:02 AM

well if its too big how come when im using the 2.0 browser it actually lets me see this site

**PopcOrn DeVil** · 04-30-2006, 08:03 AM

because the PSP browser sucks compared to firefox.

**AnonymousTipster** · 04-30-2006, 08:25 AM

The way Firefox handles it's memory is optimised for desktop systems with harddrive swapfiles. The PSPs browser allows you to see this site becuase it was designed for the PSP, Firefox was not, so would take a heck of a lot of porting to get it to work.

**XperienZe** · 04-30-2006, 08:37 AM

AnonymousTipster is working on a fantastic browser in my opinion, why don't we wait for that, a browser only designed for the PSP, and will have all the resize page things, plus it will use the PSP's memory, not more.

Hope we will see it out in a few months, it would definatly be better than Links2 i think, hate that memory prob!

Don't even try to port Firefox, i think you can't make it!

**nathan42100** · 04-30-2006, 08:39 AM

I thought of this and I tried to compile it regularly and I had problems. forget about the psp. What about the pda version of firefox...I never heard of it. please elaborate.

**Bronx** · 04-30-2006, 11:18 AM

yeah, very much doubt firefox would work! heres a crzy idea (im 99.99% it wont work though), wat if some took the firefox pda version and converted it into a .iso file, then ran it using umd emulator? cuz i think the emulator runs different iso files becuz it gives the option if music, video, game, ect... but this is mainlky a dream and a crazy idea... lol

Exactly.

If it could'ave been done, it would'ave

**Matt123** · 04-30-2006, 11:37 AM

Firefox uses a massive amount of memory and complicated modules that the PSP does not have. When veiwing many pages in 10+ tabs it can use over 100 megs of ram.

Don't people use the search tool anymore...?

**EminentJonFrost** · 04-30-2006, 02:07 PM

No.
An ISO file is simply an archive, like a zip/rar file, except designed to store all the LBA table data.
Just putting Firefox into an ISO would not make it run, it would still be programmed for the ARM processor of the PDA.

Survey says....NO!

**jas0nuk** · 04-30-2006, 03:30 PM

You mean, "EH EH".

**muratcan** · 04-30-2006, 03:42 PM

Firefox would be great but pretty much a lot of hard work would be needed and it would be very very difficult to do.

For now enjoy the link2 browser in PSP Radio it is quite simply unbelievable!

**jas0nuk** · 04-30-2006, 04:21 PM

A standalone Links2 (which utilizes all 24MB of RAM) would be nice.
Raf has said he will try to do this next week.

**cyanide** · 04-30-2006, 04:26 PM

just a thought...the psp doesnt have a mmu.. can firefox be ported even theoretically ?
