Let me ask you something… How long have you been reading these here words we write? If you date back to June 21st, ‘08 you may remember The Utopia Project. If not, that link a few words back, click it. Now let me grab a coffee real quick while you catch yourself up…

The Utopia project is an open source lightweight kernel for the PSP. The kernel is planned to occupy a little more than 1MB of RAM with a 2MB maximum. Everything will be fully documented with the necessary tool base for debugging, development, etc…

Utopia is based on the reverse engineering of the 3.71 IPL. Once completed and stable the Utopia kernel will be implemented as a new operative mode in future custom firmwares.

All right… So I look at it like this… Should enough skilled developers step forward and involve themselves, the potential dopeness of Utopia is irrefutable. Utopia is targeted at peeps who’re using their PSP strictly for custom firmware and homebrew purposes. Fair enough. There is a good number of PSP-1000 and 2000 non-TA-088v3’s out there. And hey, who knows, maybe the IPL on later models will be hacked by the time Utopia is primed.

So let’s make this happen, expeditiously… If you’re a developer with some muscle to back it up — you should enrol and contribute to Utopia — read Mathieulh’s post right here.
