How to: Control your PSP from your keyboard, watch the screen from your PC…

Emanuel of NGine Software has a very detailed How-To on controlling your PSP using your computer keyboard, and simultaneously view the screen from your PC in real-time. Yep, all those lol-kitteh image macros should come to mind: “your in your PSPz, and yur nowhere nearz it.”

Now before you head to the How To, there are a few prerequisites: First you need an PC running Linux, they used Ubuntu 7.04); a PSP running Firmware 3.40 OE, although they do note that other versions may work; and a few software packages, the SVN versions of PSPLINK and RemoteJoy.

Below is a demo video just so you folks will get an idea of what you’re going to get into:

Oh, and please, no complaints about not having a windows version. As the author of the How-To, Emanuel, says: “Linux is the better OS for PSP development, no arguments. all the tool chains depend on Linux. At the moment. this hack is primarily aimed at developers, not gamers.”

So don’t go spamming Emanuel, okay? We’ll have our internet hamster try to dig up something for you Windows users, we’ll update you when we find something.


UPDATE: We’ve been informed that yes indeed, this is possible on Windows, still, the point is, that there is no Windows means in Emanuel’s How-To. Anyhow, on to what we promised to get you folks: how to do this on Windows. What you will need: PSP Link v2.99 (USB) Beta, Remote Joy SDL for PSP (C) TyRaNiD 2k6, and the batch files and script files and binaries created by Schrade.

Below is a download link for TyRaNiD 2k6’s Remote Joy SDL for PSP, there should be a tutorial included on how to get it to run for Windows.
