Broadband Navigator

PlayStation Broadband Navigator (PSBBN) was the main online service for PS2 consoles with a Hard Drive in Japan. The PSML1 viewer portion for viewing PSBB pages was made available on first generation PSX consoles (PSX1; DESR-x000 and DESR-x100), and was ported to run inside of the XOSD interface on SCE's realtime EE kernel instead of using Linux. On second generation PSX consoles (PSX2; DESR-x500 and DESR-x700), the PSBB menu item and PSML1 viewer was removed.

The setup disc for the PSBBN supersedes the Japanese HDD Utility Disc, of which only one version was ever released.
