Instructions for Windows Vista PSP Portal



By Lewace11

1. Download and extract the Portal. From here

2. Place the "wvista" folder into the "common" folder of your PSP's memory Card.

3. Go Onto your PSP's Web-browser.

4. Type in "file://psp/common/wvista/vista.swf"

Notes:
• The "common" Folder is found under the "PSP" folder on your memory card.
• Make sure the folder you put onn your PSP starts with a lowercase "W" and "V" (IE "wvista" NOT "WVista")
• If you are having problems with "content cannot be displayed", ensure that flash is enabled on your PSP's web browser.
• When Typing in the web browser do not put in the quotation marks, The quotation marks are merely to bracket the URL.

When it says content cant be displayed just put file:/mp_root/pspwxp/index.htm in the web browser entry if you download from here redirectingat.com/ and when its downloaded extract it open the folder pspwxp and go into folder PSPWindowsVista by qaz and put the folder PSPWXP into the mp_root folder in psp and if that doesnt work go into the folder you just sent over right-click index, click properties then change and then select windows internet explorer

I have it working sucessfully. This is how I did it:

1. After you download WVista go into the folder.

2. In the folder there is readme and wvista. Drag wvista into your common folder.

3. Go into your web browser and in the address bar type file:/psp/common/vista.swf with no spaces

4. Now it should open. Enjoy!

What those guys said.

Kespen said: You either:
1. Typed the address in incorrectly.
2. Need to re-download the file, because the one you got might be corrupted in some way.
3. Didn't put the swf. file in the right place.

These are just some of the errors you could've made while setting up the portal.
I'm making my own portal with some theme options.
It'll be pretty small though.
(Only games, videos, webpages etc.)



Youll have to let us test it out for you Kespen, I like portals, remember to upload somewhere and give us link.

And make a thread for us to give you feedback.

(Not that id want to tell you what to do or anything )

Spacko said: What does it do?



This is a portal. Its basically afew HTML and Flash webpages stored on your PSP's memory stick. On this portal there are several Games and App's for you to play around with. The reason this portal is called windows vista is that all the menus etc. are graphically designed to look like windows vista. In reality however it has nothing to do with microsoft or windows vista.
hope thats a good explanation.

It's a flash object, hence why it has .swf on the end of the filename and therefore requires flash player to be activated. I really feel sorry for the people with no wireless internet connection who want to use this that are not on custom firmware.

Sorry for not replying sooner guys ive been away with cadets and got back last night. rather than reply to each PM individually im going to post here so other people can see them. now im gonna go and work probs out await my return with answers BrB

**Edit**

1. You need to extract the .RAR file in order to get the portal.

2. If You get a message saying "content cannot be displayed" try checking the URL.

3. Downloading the files, I have problems downloading using Opera, but it works fine with IE 6. ill try and find a place where i can host it. (Anyone know of anyplace tell me)

4. When typing the URL you need to make sure you type in "file:/psp/common/wvista/vista.swf" (without quotes) otherwise it might not work.

5. You Dont have to be connected to the internet to access the index page however some of the features may be restricted.

6. Just found the problem, a mere typo on my behalf, the URL should only have 1 "/" after file, whereas i have put 2 down. The actual URL is "file:/psp/common/wvista/vista.swf" (without quotes)

7. Ive found a place to host it, here is the link it gave me.
