Take a look at that dev thread, I go into some detail about it all there. In brief, JSON is a data exchange format. AJAX is a catch-all name to describe using asynchronous javascript calls, usually through xmlhttprequest(), to dynamically update webpages (usually through manipulating DOM elements

As far as JSON goes, my personal opinion is that you don't need it--you can do AJAX calls in a much more lightweight fashion with plain text. Obviously, it's your choice what technology you want to leverage, but you may get some nuggets from my AJAX thread from a while back on the dev forum... h

Since my camera snapshot is not the best quality you can get, here's the layout I made in Photoshop before coding the skin. I tried to find a PC font that looks like the PSP one. It's close but not as nice, as you can see. Also, concerning JSON (ajax), I'm waiting to get a working 6.5 build...

I use my old school technique of loading variables in a 1x1 IFRAME and accessing them with window.frame. I wanna nail down the layout and display first. I'll switch to JSON after the basics are done. All my accesses to variables are done through a function so i'll be able to switch to another dat

Very nice! I'll be interested in hearing any of the nuts-and-bolts of it as you progress. You mentioned DHTML, but are you doing AJAX as well? The epiphany I had with putting together the Nokia770 skin is that a synchronous model (i.e., user clicks on something and browser is locked while operatio

Lowrent, keep us informed of your progress. I have a PSP but find the other inferfaces slow and too memory hungry for the PSP. Sadly I don't have any skills to help. I would love some simple interface that possibly displayed art when playing. Along the lines of the Sonos display ;-) -- macta

Ok, i'll take a look at the Nokia skin but it really looks like it's designed specially for touch screen use. What i'm planning is designing in an interface focusing on DPAD use and highly optimized for the PSP display. My head is boiling with ideas at the moment. I have to dig info about the D

To my knowledge, no. But, you might start by looking at the Nokia770 skin in slimserver 6.5, which is heavily javascripted and built for a handheld landscape display. I know that at least a few have been using that skin on PSP to some level of success. There was a major change introduced to 6.5 t

you should probably check out the work done by BKLASS on the Nokia 770 skin which many use on the PSP... very interested to see the work which could be done for a dedicated PSP skin - as I use my PSP to view the interface very often -- rick's cafe WHEN MUSIC HIT YOU YOU FEEL NO PAIN!!! ---
