It's an old outdated version of flash, good luck getting most stuff to work with it.

Not sure about the specs on the old DS Opera Browser hardware/software (though I don't think it ever had Flash) but a PSP with fully upgraded official firmware does support Flash (around version 7 or 8).

The reason you cant get videos to run is that the PSP doesn't allocate enough memory/browser cache to support streaming video even with flash running.

But, you can get small sized flash applets to run and even load them onto a memory stick and run them offline from the internet browser.

The DS and DSLite Opera browser is very very limited in what it can do. I'm not even sure how many pages you'd be visiting now wouldn't be broken beyond recognition due to the new code in them.

You do however have a much better browser with the DSi, but alas, I do not know of that browsers full capabilities as I don't yet own one. (I do think there is a thread here on DP about it though, so let me go look.

The PSP's browser uses Flash 6, which is why sites like YouTube don't work correctly. Wouldn't be surprised if memory limitations are a reason why it was never upgraded to a more up to date version of Flash required by most video streaming sites like YouTube.

As far as I know, hackers have never even been able to incorporate support beyond for ripping videos to your memory card and then playing them back, no steaming.

A nice workaround though is using remote access on your PSP to access your PS3 and it's web browser. YouTube works just fine then.

Ah, yeah, Flash 6 is pretty antiquated in terms of YouTube these days, but even back when it was current the PSP just can't handle large flash applications/files, the maximum memory/cache that it can allocate is still 2048kb...which is pretty miniscule.

I've seen a few homebrew apps/custom firmwares that can access Youtube and play video full screen ... though I'm not sure if those download/rip & play on the fly or actually stream the video.
