PokerRoom via the PSP?

[RPMick]

Is it possible? I believe it can handle Java, think I read that somewhere. PokerRoom offers the java interface. I logged in, opened the Java client but only get the bottom of the page.

Anyone look into this or read anything about this?

That was quick and sweet. Got a little excited before going to bed I suppose. Someone will come up with a hack.

If a browser works, I dont see why pokerroom would not run on it.

Ya know, I read that about a week ago and searched the web high and low for any more info. The capability has to be there if the PSP will utilize Java platforms. I can't believe someone else either hasn't thought of it or at least addressed it.

The PSP browser does not have Java support. Pokerroom relies on the Java plug-in to work inside a browser.

If the PSP did support Java, it might also be limited to the Java 2 Micro Edition, a stripped down version of the language intended for mobile phones and such. At the very least this would require a port.

So, you think even if it did support java poker room would have to do something on their side as well? Similar to what they have going with their mobile software?
