PlayerPal has been shot in the wild flirting working with a non-official PSP web browser! The browser in question is Links2. Links2 is an open source browser for Linux, that has been ported to the PSP by Raf. Raf ships Links2 as a plugin for his PSP Radio homebrew application.
What does this mean? It means that if you use PSP firmware 1.5 you can now use PlayerPal too! Homebrew and PlayerPal happy together.

The PlayerPal Sony PSP skin looks a little "early 90s" on the Links2 browser. Also, the Links2 PSP browser shrinks images by 40% on the fly, and does not display the iFrame inline (which is used for the now playing details). However, much of that could easily be resolved by adapting the existing SonyPSP skin in a new skin for Links2.
