Remember this toy? That’s the Picoo Z infrared helicopter model. Coder pacopad‘s homebrew application picoozIR lets you control this toy through your Sony PlayStation Portable with its previous build. Now on its version 4, you have a new flying engine among others. More details after the jump.

Have you heard of the Picoo Z toy helicopter model? Yes, that one with infrared capabilities. If you could recall from a few months back, developer pacopad turned the Sony PlayStation Portable into that toy’s remote control with the homebrew app, picoozIR. Flying was a bit iffy then, but not anymore, thanks to picoozIR’s version 4 and its new flying engine.

Homebrew coder pacopad made sure that the toy won’t have any awkward movements with a rebuilt flying engine. Here are the complete integrated changes from pacopad’s readme:

• New gfx interface
• New flying engine, no more cutting during the flight
• Add of the Picooz SkyChallengers support
• English interface

There are still bugs however as observed by pacopad. The Fire function may not work at all times. Likewise, picoozIR may have some issue when an mp3 file is played while the homebrew app is operating. Be sure to check the readme before anything else.
