ExtremeTech (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1906807,00.asp) has an interesting article on how you can install and run Windows or Linux on your PSP. What You Need

* Hackable PSP: (i.e. it can run Home brew apps)
* Memory Stick: Enough space for Bochs files and virtual hard drive image (512 MB stick is probably plenty, but a 1 gig stick will be more utilitarian since you still have plenty of space for other stuff)
* Virtual PC or VMWare: if you're going to create your own disk images ($99+ depending on what version, but there are free trials available that will suffice for this project)
* Virtual DriveCreation Software: such as R-Drive Image, if you're going to create your own disk images (~$49, and there's a free trial)
* Windows 95 or Windows 98: You'll need the disks or disc if you're going to install Windows

Pretty neat. Apparently there's not much you can do with it yet, but it's amazing to see what developers have ported to different platforms recently.

Mmm I guess it's the journey. I can't see how it's the destination :D

How about Commodore 64? Then I could get excited!
