Hi,
I have a PS2 slim and some games. Recently I got a PSP and there are some interesting homebrew apps and games for this mobile platform... now, on PS2, I couldn't find anything. Do you run any homebrew apps or games?
Particularly, it'd be very cool to find a homebrew to make the PS2 a UPnP client, and play music (and SD videos perhaps?) on the TV just like the PS3 does.

This is not possible with one exception.
If you have a Fat PS2, and have the right version, installed a hard drive you can get the offical Sony linux kit (discontinued) from somewhere, but its really not worth the bother.
It would be so slow as to be almost unusable and unless you plan on coding PS2 games directly i can not see the point. The PSP can do homebrew better because of the far superior OS.
