Are you trying to make the PSP a USB host? If that's what you're trying to do, I'll tell you now, it's impossible.

Yup, the device that is connecting to the PSP (e.g. Go Cam) has to be a usb HOST.

Sounds interesting, used with usbhostfs could be very, very useful.

You're probably better looking at computer USB interface code than PSP client code, if I understand correctly.

Well, modifying a prx won't get you what you want - it isn't a simple hex, or even a hex at all. You'd need to write an entirely new driver, or use the existing usbhostfs on both the host device and the PSP.

from my understanding usbhostfs is a pc driver that recognizes the psp as a sort of host but not really? how would u recommend doing this?

I'm sorry, but it's obvious with what you're asking that you're way out of your depth.

However, you'd need to port the driver to the usb host device that you are using.
