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.
| In the linked zip file you will find all the files you need to set this up and some installation instrcutions.
All files are available freely from their indivdual sources, but we have collated them in one file for ease of access.
David Rudie is not affiliated with PPJoy in any way but gives them thanks in his Readme.

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

It seems to me like alot of snowballing just to use the PSP as a joystick.
Running a windows web server might take up some valuable system resources which people with old computers can't afford. 
And wirelessly connecting via your router? It just all seems kind of a hassle. |

But, you really have to follow all the instructions from the developer, or else you wont make it work. They're simple enough so that even a complete n00b can do it. |
