I was wondering, since LBP can use the PS Eye, and there's no official image importer at the moment, would it be possible to use another external USB device, such as a PSP, to fool the PS3 into thinking it's the PS Eye? The PSP has an mini USB port, maybe it would be possible to use homebrew to connect to the PS3 and "emulate" a data stream originally coming from the PS Eye? An app with features to view images, videos, and stream the frames to the PS3 whenever you want would be fantastic. Does anyone know if this would even be remotely possible? I know the Eye in general can be used for many other things, but I'm talking about using this idea (if possible) for LittleBigPlanet.

I don't believe this can be done. The best way to get your answer would probably be to test it out for yourself. I myself don't have a PSP, so I'm not all too sure what idea you've got here. You seem to know more about this than many of us here would, so why don't you try it and let us know the results. I'll be waiting in anticipation. Hope it works as planned.

I don't know enough about it to comment with any great authority (plus I haven't tried using the PS Eye yet) Don't all digital images have meta-data which stores what type of camera took the picture? If LBP checks this data to accept/reject an image then you'd need to find a way of altering it.

I myself am far from being a PSP homebrew developer. Yes EastwoodAndy, as far as I know all images contain meta data for the camera. I need to bring this to the PSP homebrew developers. Dark Alex would probably be the best to talk to. Although I may no be able to get in touch with him. I'll post this on a PSP homebrew forum and post the link here (if that's ok with the forum admins).

I bought a PS Eye the other day and I've been trying to get it to run on my Mac. I managed to find a driver for it (link (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/macam.html)) Anyway, in my searching I came across a forum where someone discusses precisely what you have suggested. Here's a link (http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9238&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60) to the thread, just search for LBP to find the post. I don't know how far they've got with it.

I'm almost certain that's impossible. The homebrew would have to be specially made, and even then, I'm guessing it still wouldn't work, because the PSP would need to be verified by the PS3, and the key that would allow you to fool the PS3 is still undiscovered.

I read over that, and it looks like they're mainly discussing how to get it working with Linux. I hope they get somewhere with it though. I'm almost certain that's impossible.

Good points there. I really don't know what to say, I'll just keep reading up on the thread EastWoodAndy posted.

It's probably possible but wouldn't happen because hackers have other things to crack really...
