USB Host Driver possible?

[Kladden]

Would it be possible for a programmer to make a USB host driver for PSP? It could be realy usefull! Play with the thought you plug in a USB-chassi with a 2,5"hdd and launch the custom made filemanager and transfer files to your MS. Perfect when you travel!

I will receive my Jap psp 1.0 next week.....

this has been said since psp was released, but after all the advancements we've had lately it seems no one is working on this

You cannot make the USB port act as a host in software unless the hardware supports it, which from what I hear the PSP doesn't. The USB keyboard for PSP that has been demoed actually worked as a USB host.

However, there are several portable HD products available capable of acting as a USB host or even copy directly to the memory stick, like the http://www.apacer.com/apacer_english/product_html/share_steno_cd311.asp and others.
