This has got to be the most awesome thing to have ever happen on the PSP. Ok maybe the second best thing, the PS1 emu being the first

Anyway a new version of RemoteJoy has just been released and not only does allow you to control your PSP with a keyboard or gamepad, this new version allows you to play your PSP on you PC monitor. FREAKING AWESOME!

(Yes, it works in fullscreen too

)

Some games have issues, mainly when loading/saving and during loadscreens, but heck, its freaking awesome for a first beta release!

One trick you can if your having problems is to disconnect the USB cable when it crashes and connect again afterwards, usually works.

You can get this here: http://www.psp-hacks.com/2007/05/17/remotejoy-psp-video-out-via-usb/

My compatibility list:
* - Unplayable
** - Playable but with major problems
*** - Playable with some problems
**** - Works perfectly

GTA: Liberty City Stories: - **
Crashes while saving/loading, runs at 8fps

Ace Combat X - ***
Crashes while saving/loading/loading a level, runs with a smooth framerate

Burnout Legends - *
Crashes while saving/loading/loading a level/randomly during races, runs a bit slow (for the few seconds that it works that is)

Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai Another Road - *
Does not boot.

Bomberman - ***
Crashes while saving/loading, runs almost smoothly (23fps)

That might be worth playing around with if there isn't any latency or anything, during gaming.

But I'm more excited by having finally been able to install the complete Ultimate Black theme on my 3.40 OE-A PSP!

Zombie James · May 21, 2007

Awesome

Souther · May 21, 2007

I remember when i had a PSP a long time ago and it was the FW 1.50...Was goodtimes...

now if i picked up a PSP i wouldn't even know where to start

Matix · May 21, 2007

Sadly I don't have a homebrew compatible PSP, but this does sound pretty awesome regardless. Also is the procedure in setting this up sorta complex, or pretty straight forward?!

There is some delay, but you can hardly notice it, it helps if you set the CPU to 333, and that isn't really an issue since your connecting to the PC chances are you can also connect the PSP to the power plug

Btw, Black theme + PS3 style waves = awesome

I'm using some blue waves now though:

Well, the instructions fail to tell you important stuff, like the fact the plugins boot automatically when you start a game

, but once you know what to do its pretty straight forward.

What is this theme you speak of?

Also yeah I might try this at work next week, is it compatible with the PS1 emulator?

Mejilan · May 21, 2007

Theme is a replacement for the default XMB look. If your PSP can run the theme, then it can run the theme. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of homebrew.

Oh hell yeah, my computer is my 'home base' for all electronics. I have cords dangling in a group over my desk for charging (and syncing) my iPod, PSP, DS, and GBmicro.

How do I get PS3 waves on my Ultimate Black theme? Please tell me!

You just need to get the wave file and replace it in the flash memory, you can do that with the Dark Alex OE firmware in the Recovery menu. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL with it however, backup everything as well.

You can get the PS3 wave file (and some other ones) here:

Mejilan · May 21, 2007

Sorry for not being clear. I know HOW to apply the wave, just wasn't sure where to get it! Yeah, I have a 'virgin' backup of my flash0 already, before I started replacing any of the sounds, fonts, background images, icons, etc.

There is a linux version, not sure on the specific distros though, but seeing as the PS3 Linux doesn't have RSX support i doubt you'll be able to get this working properly

Anyway, instructions for linux here: http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4292

guess not!

Mejilan · May 21, 2007

Thanks again Metalmurphy.

Anyone know which of the custom theme icons stores the sound effects data. I want to use the Ultimate Black full theme (3.40 OE-A version) as a base. I'm going to replace it's wave with the PS3 wave I just downloaded. Problem is, I don't like the new sound effects included with Ultimate Black, and I'd like to leave that file out, which I imagine would then keep the PSP's sounds effects at their defaults.

agent069 · May 21, 2007

Sound intersteting, especially considering how poor the stick and dpad on the PSP are

I don't think you can re-map the analog stick

Just the d-pad and face buttons when I tried it last.

Somebody here should really start a homebrew introduction thread for DS and PSP for people like us. Mainly for PSP, because while there is a homebrew thread, it's ridiculously hard to learn anything from it.

I know they skip the Sound parts but there tools there to edit the rcos and see what's inside them. Sound effects are stored in several files so you'll have to look for the ones you need.

Theres a PS2.map config file that has some digital / analog entries so they might work now. I'll have to try this tomorrow.

Mejilan · May 21, 2007

Nevermind. I got it!

Success. Now I'm running a custom version of Ultimate Black. All of the elements of regular Ultimate Black minus the sounds (back to default PSP sounds) and the wave (replaced by the PS3 wave).

Awesomeness.

Seriously dude. You should apply to Sony for an award, or maybe get enshrined in a museum, or something.

Dali · May 21, 2007

Wow looks pretty cool. I'm thinking about getting a handheld with all the Square stuff coming to DS and PSP, but haven't decided on which one to get. I won't make the purchase until the end of the year, but PSP homebrew is keeping it in the running with DS.

Anyway, what does the fullscreen look like? I imagine like fullscreening a youtube video, amirite?

Thanks for the heads up about this program. It looks like it'll be fun to mess with. So many things to customize on the PSP.

Crypto · May 21, 2007

I actually did try PSP homebrew a while ago. I didn't find it appealing or amazing at all.

Since then I just keep up to date with the latest Sony homebrew, not interested in what has been done.

Now... Xbox 1 modding was the best I think. That did some amazing things.

Mr. Spinnington · May 21, 2007

Mejilan · May 21, 2007

At least you got a relatively good deal. And who knows, perhaps 3.40 will get cracked within the next few months. Maybe.

The guy who made the RemoteJoySDL GUI just used my compiled Cygwin versions of RemoteJoy SDL and the Batch Files/Tutorials/ReadMes I made. I was able to port Tyranid's Linux apps and make them work under Windows using Cygwin.

You can see the original release thread here on MaxConsole:
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=61117

In the first post of that thread I just linked to there's a listing of keyboard keys you can press in the RemoteJoySDL window. Take note of the Screenshot one (saves a screenshot in the RemoteJoy folder) and also you can turn toggle FPS display and also turn off/on the RemoteJoySDL display. (Rather than unplugging/replugging in the USB connection to get around games that lock up - doesn't always work though)

All his GUI does is run my batch scripts heh. Anyhow, it was Tyranid who did all the wonderful work making PSPLinkUSB and RemoteJoy/RemoteJoySDL. Wonderful little programs.

Use a standard controller? Connect to a monitor? You might as well just buy a PS2 then, no?

cedric69 · May 21, 2007

I don't see how this could be defined the best homebrew.

A way to play games in a fixed setup on a portable console? Talk about illogical achievement.

How can this "rank" higher than portable emulation, for instance?

"Ok maybe the second best thing, the PS1 emu being the first

"

And the great thing about this is beeing able to play on a big screen, with another joypad or keyboard. That my friend is awesome. I've been playing Ace Combat X on my 19" monitor and its freaking awesome!

Hum, connection refused? Thats a new one, make sure firewall isn't blocking the app cause it binds some port (not sure on the exact port) on the ip 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

i mainly wanna connect it to my in dash car screen.

I get that error when i run 2 USBHostFS at the same time, so make sure you aren't doing the same mistake. Also here's a list of ports used with Remotejoy. Use netstat to see if you have any program using the same ports

I still think that Sony should release something like this for PS3, they should let you plug your PSP into your PS3 through USB then play your PSP games on your HDTV with your PS3 controller.
