Here's a possibly Worthless Fun Fact! (I realize this is an ATRAC forum, so if this is way too off topic, even with regards to the 2.0 firmware, mod/s feel free to move it to the appropriate forum it this is not. I apologize if it isn't.)
At the moment there is no easy way to view text files (change them into JPEGs, but personally I find them hard to read.) but with 2.0 here's what you can do:
Let's say you have The Island Of Dr. Moreau saved in Microsoft Word, and you wish to read it on the go. (Because books are so last century or something. ) You can open that puppy up and save it as an HTML file.
Now, stick it on your PSP somewhere and remember the directory and file name. Example of a directory is: PSP/COMMON/ (The default directory for saving files from the PSP web browser).
Fire up your PSP web browser and in the address entry go to the bottom left of the text entry keys, and select the "http://" key, and scroll to the end of the list on that key till you get to "file:/" and then type in the rest of the directory. (In this case, it's file:/PSP/COMMON/DRMOREAU.html)
Open the link and boom, there's your book or whatever.
Some notes:
-If you want to change out what you have written in the HTML file often, bookmark that file directory in the web browser and name every single file the same thing, changing out each one as you see fit.
-If you are running on limited memory stick space and only want to finish reading the HTML text file and then delete it to conserve space for other things, save the HTML file to a folder within the "GAME" directory. It doesn't matter what you name the folder that the HTML file sits in, you just need one. Now when you're done reading and wish to delete the file, go into Game on the menu and into Memory Stick and you'll see your HTML file as a corrupt file, and using triangle you can access the menu and choose to delete it.
Important note: In order for this to work correctly, you need to not have a webpage set as your homepage. If you do, the web browser will need to connect to the access point you selected in your connection settings, and if it cannot connect, it will not open, thus not allowing you to view your HTML file.
