my friend told me he uses his 30gb ipod as a harddrive 4 the psp

is this possible, or is he lying??

he said he uses it 2 put a crap load of games on

I suspect he's lying. Anyone else care to comment?

ya i think thats bullcrap

i agree. that guy's just pullin your leg >.>

it could be true he mustve really modded his psp....

it would be so havily modded cause of the fiffernce in the cords and the ipod would have to set in and there would be no way to eject it

i think u still would b able 2 eject it cuz he's brought it 2 school b4 w/o the ipod

nd on cnet.com they hav a vid on how 2 use ur ipod as a harddrive but it doesnt say how u would use it with another portable device

it could be possible. he could just drag the files onto the ipod and keep them there. the ipod just wont recognize it. i use my mp3 player as a flash drive. all he has to do is hook up the ipod and take whatever files he wants out and put them on the PSP.

WTF are you talking about. the only memory that is recognized by the psp is the memory stick. the hard drive on the psp is only to remember cookies from websites save the psp background , settings , etc. so even if you put the hard drive in it probably wouldnt be able to play mp3's ,show pictures , or play videos. also when you put your psp in usb the computer wont recognize it if it doesnt hae a memory stick in it. unless the hard drive fits in the psp and something like the 4gb hard drive features like a psuedo memory stick. also your firmware probably wouldnt handle it. unless the custom firmware can be modified to handle as much memory as in a ipod. so i highly doubt it is possible.

thats BS bc ive tryied it and its not even close to compatible!!!!!!!! hello.........ipod was from a mac source....

youre a fucking dumbass! i was saying......................ok example:

files for psp (currently floating in space)

ipod (e:/)

e:/>psp files. there you go. files on the ipod.

then whenever you want them on your psp pull them from the ipod onto the desktop or whatever and then plug in your psp and put the files on the memory stick. jackass.

woah this discussion is heating up.

yea i can see what your saying i think thats prob what he does

but itd be pretty cool to be able to get the psp to read files from the ipod

theres a VERY SLIM chance that it is possible. i mean, psp plays mp4 (quicktime) which is mainly apple.

Are you all on crack? Of course it's possible. Have you seen the 4gb HD for the psp i believe it's made by Datel? Well if you tear it open, there is a harddrive with the same connections as the ipod hard drive. It would take some formatting, but yes it could be done.

same structure for zune?

he could just use the ipod as a place to hold his files, maybe as an external hardrive

i dont know. my friend told me that you cant convert the ipod memory to the psp. but i think hes lying

i can see it being used as a storage medium, so u can travel with games; no umd's, but u'd still need to use a computer to transfer files from ipod to comp HD to memstick.
portable hard drive that cost $400 basically
