How Do I Watch Online Videos on the PSP?

The PSP can go online using a Wi-Fi connection but can not view YouTube videos. This is because the Flash player the PSP uses in its web browser is not compatible with the Flash player being used on YouTube. Hacking a PSP will enable it to be modified by the user in ways not provided for by Sony. Installing a program into a hacked PSP will enable it to view YouTube videos directly and without any difficulties.
