Ever wanted to play your PC games with your PSP? Now you can. A developer named David Rudie has released a homebrew application which turns your PSP into a control pad for your PC.
Running in conjunction with PPJoy, the PSP acts as a wireless controller through the use of your existing wireless Internet connection.
A brief note from the developer:
Quote:
WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT THIS DOES
This basically turns your Sony PSP into a controller for your PC (running Microsoft Windows). How it works is that PPJoy provides a way to create a virtual joystick. We can then communicate with this virtual joystick as though it were a real joystick. This is accomplished by running a server in Microsoft Windows. The server just runs in the background waiting for a connection. When you start the WiFiController program on your Sony PSP it will establish a network connection over wireless using infrastructure mode. Once it establishes a connection and obtains an IP address it will connect to the server running on your PC. Once it has connected to your PC it will act just like a regular joystick.

Just thought I'd mention I have tried this and it works brilliantly. Just remember to keep your power cable in!
